    a.            cancel them, pursuant to the 18th resolution of the General Shareholders' Meeting held on 24 May 2023;

    b.            allocate, cover and honour any free shares or employee savings plans and any type of allocation for the benefit of employees or corporate officers of the Company or affiliated companies under the terms and conditions stipulated or permitted by French or foreign law, particularly in the context of participation in the results of the expansion of the Company, the granting of free shares, any employee shareholding plans as well as completing any related transactions to cover the aforementioned employee shareholding plans;

    c.            provide shares upon the exercise of rights attached to securities giving access to the share capital of the Company;

    d.            market making activities under a liquidity contract, signed with an investment services provider, in compliance with the market practices permitted by the AMF (“l’Autorité des marchés financiers”);

    1. Maximum amount allocated to the share buyback programme, maximum number and characteristics of the securities, maximum purchase price

    The resolution approved at the General Meeting provides that Ayvens can purchase its ordinary shares for an amount of up to 5% of the share capital at the date of making these purchases, it being specified that the maximum number of shares held after these purchases may not at any time exceed 10% of share capital.

    As at 10 May 2023, without taking into account the shares already held, a theoretical maximum number of 40,848,021 shares could be purchased. Given the number of securities already held at this date and the possibility to hold an amount of shares representing up to 10% of the share capital, the Company could purchase up to 39,868,199 shares.
