Dividend policy

Dividends are paid to the holder of the share according to law and the articles of association. The Company uses the Euroclear direct payment procedure, which allows each shareholder to receive the dividend on the payment date.
The dividend payment date, as decided by the Board of directors, is 31 May of each year, or the next business day. Any dividend unclaimed after five years lapses by law and is paid to the French tax authorities.
In accordance with new article 158-3-2 of the French tax code, the dividend qualifies for the 50% reduction applicable to individual shareholders resident in France for tax purposes. This reduction is not applicable to other shareholders.
