The Annual General Meeting, voting with the quorum and majority required for Extraordinary General Meetings, having read(i) the Board of Directors’ report and (ii) the draft agreement on the partial contribution of assets (the “Agreement”) concluded between the Company and its L’Oréal France subsidiary (the “Beneficiary”), approves:

  • the valuation of the Affaires Marché France branch based on the carrying values of assets contributed of €940,750,949.40 and of assumed liabilities of €820,686,549.63, i.e. net assets contributed of €120,064,399.77, based on the Company’s parent company financial statements as at 31 December 2022;

The difference between the Company’s total net asset value (€230,443,334.82) and the par value of the shares to be created as a result of the aforementioned capital increase (€126,915,590) will constitute a contribution premium of €103,527,744.82, which will be recorded as a liability on the Beneficiary’s balance sheet;
  • setting the date of completion of this contribution as at 1 July 2023 (the “Completion Date”), unless it is extended by the Company and the Beneficiary;

As a result of the foregoing, gives full powers to the Chief Executive Officer, with the option to delegate further, under the applicable legal and regulatory conditions, to:

  • record the completion of the partial contribution of assets and its remuneration and implement the adjustment as provided for by the Agreement;
  • more generally, and as appropriate, to reiterate the terms of said contribution, establish all acts confirming or additional to said Agreement, including the possibility of extending the completion date of the partial contribution of assets, without this date being after 31 December 2023;
  • carry out any observations, conclusions, communications and formalities, in particular the declaration of compliance required by the applicable legal provisions, which might prove necessary for the purposes of completing the partial contribution of assets.
