THIRD RESOLUTION

(Appropriation of profit for the year ended 31 December 2020)

The Shareholders' Meeting, having fulfilled the quorum and majority conditions required for ordinary shareholders' meetings, approves the proposal of the Executive Board and resolves upon the appropriation of net profit for the financial year of €22,812,407.80 as follows:

Net profit for the year

€22,812,407.80

Retained earnings from previous years

€276,789,604.33

Available profit

€299,602,012.13

Reserve for treasury shares (reversal)

€114,848.06

Distributable profit

€299,716,860.19

Dividend

€19,489,600.00

Retained earnings

€280,227,260.19

A dividend of €0.80 will be distributed for each of the 24,362,000 shares that make up the share capital. This dividend will be paid out on 2 July 2021.

The treasury shares held by the Company on the date of payment of the dividend do not confer entitlement to the dividend payment. The amounts corresponding to the unpaid dividends attached to these shares will be allocated to the "retained earnings" account.

The Shareholders acknowledge, in accordance with the provisions of Article 243 bis of the French General Tax Code, that the report as presented states that this dividend payment is eligible for individuals who are domiciled for tax purposes in France, based on a tax allowance of 40% as stipulated in Article 158-3-2 of the French General Tax Code, where the shareholder has expressly and irrevocably opted for taxation under the general regime based on the progressive scale of tax on income and, where relevant, will be subject to a non-definitive flat- rate withholding tax of 12.8%.

It should be remembered in this regard:

  • that since 1 January 2018, income from investment, and dividends in particular, received by taxpayers resident in France for tax purposes is subject, based on the option selected in their tax return:
    • either to a single flat rate withholding tax of 12.8% in the year following that in which the dividend payment is made (without taking into account the 40% tax allowance and less any non-definitiveflat-rate withholding tax paid on receipt of the dividend);
    • or to tax on income based on the progressive scale of tax under the express and irrevocable option of taxation under the general regime, after the application of an allowance of 40%.
  • that, in any case, dividends and similar payments are subject on payment to:
    • (i) a global social security deduction of 17.2%; and
    • (ii) a non-definitiveflat-rate withholding tax, the rate of which is aligned with the single flat rate withholding tax, at 12.8%, as an advance payment.

Taxpayers who receive a dividend and whose reference taxable income for the previous year is below (i) €50,000 (for a person who is single, divorced or widowed) or (ii) €75,000 (for a person subject to joint taxation) retain the right to request exemption from the non-definitiveflat-rate withholding tax.
