Article L225-88 of the French Commercial code

The person directly or indirectly interested in the agreement is required to inform the Supervisory Board as soon as he/she becomes aware of an agreement to which Article L. 225-86 is applicable. If it sits on the Supervisory Board, it may not take part in the deliberations or vote on the authorisation requested.

The Chairman of the Supervisory Board notifies the Statutory Auditors, if any, of all agreements authorised and entered into and submits them to the General Meeting for approval.

The Statutory Auditors or, if none have been appointed, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, shall present a special report on these agreements to the General Meeting, which shall vote on this report.

The person directly or indirectly interested in the agreement may not take part in the vote. His shares are not taken into account when calculating the majority.
