Stabilization

During a period of 30 days following the date of adequate public disclosure of the Offering price (i.e., according to the expected timetable, from July 23, 2018 through August 22, 2018 (inclusive)), Credit Suisse, acting as stabilizing manager, may, without any obligation, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, in particular the provisions of EU Parliament and Council Regulation 596/2014 of 16 April 2014 (the "Regulation”) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016 (the "Delegated Regulation”), effect transactions with a view to maintaining the market price of the Company’s shares on the regulated market of Euronext Paris. In compliance with Article 7.1 of the Delegated Regulation, the stabilization activities shall not in any circumstances be executed above the Offering price. Such stabilization activities may affect the price of the shares and may conduct to the fixing of the market price higher than the one which would otherwise be fixed. Even if stabilization activities were carried out, Credit Suisse could, at any time, decide to stop such activities. Information will be provided to the competent market authorities and the public in compliance with Article 6.3 of the above mentioned Delegated Regulation. In compliance with the provisions of Article 8(b) of the Delegated Regulation, Credit Suisse, acting on behalf of the underwriters of the Offering, may over-allot in the context of the Offering an amount equal to the number of shares covered by the over-allotment option.

Information to distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II”); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements”), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer” (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the shares offered in the Offering (the "Offered Shares”) have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Offered Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment”). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Offered Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Offered Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Offered Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Offering.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment for any particular client of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Offered Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
