Twentieth resolution

Statutory auditors' report on the free allocation of existing shares or shares to be issued

To the Shareholders,

In our capacity as statutory auditors of your Company and in compliance with article L. 225-197- 1 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce), we hereby report on the proposed free allocation of existing shares or shares to be issued, reserved for employees or certain categories of employees that the Board of Directors will determine from among eligible employees and corporate officers (mandataires sociaux) of the Company or its affiliated companies, within the meaning of Article L. 225-197-2 of the French Commercial Code, an operation upon which you are called to vote. The total number of free shares allocated may not exceed 1.5% of the Company's share capital on the date the allocation is decided by the Board of Directors.

The maximum number of shares that may be granted to corporate officers (dirigeants mandataires sociaux) pursuant to the AFEP-MEDEF's Corporate Governance Code for listed companies may not represent more than 35% of the overall amount authorized by the present Meeting

Your Board of Directors proposes that on the basis of its report it be authorised for a period ending at the end of the General Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2022, to allocate, for free, existing shares or shares to be issued.

It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to prepare a report on the proposed operation. Our role is to report on any matters relating to the information regarding the proposed operation.

We have performed those procedures which we considered necessary to comply with the professional guidance issued by the French national auditing body (Compagnie Nationale des Commissaires aux Comptes) for this type of engagement. These procedures consisted mainly in verifying that the proposed methods described in the Board of Directors' report comply with the legal provisions governing such operations.

We have no matters to report as to the information provided in the Board of Directors' report relating to the proposed free allocation of shares.
