Information concerning the loss of capital and restructuring measures

The Chairperson explains that the equity amounts to CHF 24 549k and is less than half of the

Company's share capital plus the legal reserves, which Swiss law qualifies as a situation of loss

of capital within the meaning of art. 725 (1) CO.

The Chairperson explains the measures that the Board of Directors proposes to set aside the loss

of capital, i.e.:

- realization of the contemplated offering of shares that would be followed by the admission to

trading of the Company's shares on Euronext Growth Paris; and

- raising debt financing to cover the Company's short-term cash flow needs.

Discharge of the members of the Board of Directors and of the Senior Management

The Chairperson reminds the general meeting that the persons who have participated in any manner

in the management of the company (either as Board member or member of the Senior Management)

are not entitled to vote regarding the discharge of the Board of Directors and of the Senior

Management. The voting rights of the shares held, or represented, by the shareholders who are also

Board member or member of the executive management, will therefore not be taken into

consideration.

The Chairperson reminds the proposal of the Board of Directors that discharge be granted to the

members of the Board of Directors and the Senior Management for their activities in the business

year 2021.
