• cover share purchase option plans for Group employees or senior executives under the conditions and in accordance with the procedures stipulated by law;

• retain the shares bought back in order to exchange them or present them as consideration at a later date for a merger, spin-off, contribution of assets and, where applicable, for external growth transactions;

• cede the shares in the Company, upon the exercise of the rights attached to securities giving access to the Company’s share capital through redemption, conversion, exchange, presentation of warrants or any other means;

• implement any market practice that would come to be accepted by the AMF, and in general, to perform any operation that complies with regulations in force.
