This document is a free translation into English of the original French Document. It is not a binding document. In the event of a conflict in interpretation, reference should be made to the French version, which is the authentic text.

This press release constitutes the information document required under Article 1, paragraphs 4 (h) and 5 (g) of Chapter I of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017.

It does not constitute an offer of financial securities subject to the approval of a prospectus. This press release and any other document relating to the payment of the dividend in shares may only be distributed outside France in accordance with locally applicable laws and regulations and may not constitute an offer of financial securities in countries where such an offer would breach locally applicable legislation.

The option to receive payment of the dividend in respect of the 2022 financial year in shares is thus open to all the Company's shareholders, with the exception of shareholders resident in any country for which such an option would require registration with or authorisation by local stock exchange authorities; shareholders resident outside France must inform themselves of any local restrictions and comply with them. Shareholders should inform themselves of any conditions and consequences relating to such an option that may apply under local law.

Shareholders are invited to discuss the tax aspects of the payment of a dividend in shares with their usual tax advisor.

When deciding whether or not to opt for a dividend payment in shares, shareholders must take into account the risks associated with an investment in shares.
