ANY OFFER TO BUY SECURITIES.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS ­ The Bonds referred to (and as
defined) herein are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be
offered, sold or otherwise made available to any Retail Investor in the European Economic Area
("EEA"). For these purposes, a "Retail Investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail
client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended ("MiFID II"); (ii)
a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, as amended, where that customer would
not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a
qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129. Consequently no key information
document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014, as amended (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for
offering or selling the Bonds, or otherwise making them available, to Retail Investors in the EEA has
been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Bonds or otherwise making them available to any
Retail Investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS ­ The Bonds referred to (and as defined)
herein are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered,
sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom ("UK"). For these
purposes, a "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in
point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of
the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); (ii)
a customer within the meaning of
the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA") and any rules or
regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would
not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No
600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as
defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the
EUWA. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 as
it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or
selling the Bonds, or otherwise making them available, to retail investors in the UK has been prepared
and therefore offering or selling the Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor
in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
PROHIBITION OF SALE IN THE UNITED STATES ­ The Bonds and the Shares deliverable upon
exchange of the Bonds have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any U.S. state and may not be offered or

(within the meaning of Regulation S of the Securities Act) absent registration with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act
and in compliance with state securities laws.
INITIAL OFFERING - PLACEMENT TO EUROPEAN QUALIFIED INVESTORS - The Bonds
will be offered only by way of a placement in France and outside France (excluding the United States
of America, Canada, Australia, Japan and South Africa) to qualified investors as defined in Article
2 point (e) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 and in accordance with Article L.411-2(1) of the French
Code monétaire et financier, without an offer to the public (other than to qualified investors) in any
country (including France).
MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ECPs TARGET
MARKET ­ Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target
market assessment in respect of the Bonds has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the
Bonds is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii)
all channels for distribution of the Bonds to eligible counterparties and professional clients are
appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Bonds (a "distributor")
should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor
subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the








Bonds (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining
appropriate distribution channels.

Exchange Right, Exchange Period
During the Exchange Period, unless previously redeemed, each Bondholder shall have the right (the
"Exchange Right"), subject to any applicable fiscal or other laws and regulations in the place of
exchange and subject as provided in this Condition 4, and subject also to the Issuer's right to make a
Cash Election or a Share Cash Combination Election as provided below, to request that all or any of its
Bonds (which have not previously been redeemed or purchased and cancelled) be redeemed through
their exchange for Shares at the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) in effect on the relevant Exchange
Date.
"Exchange Period" means the period from (and including) the 41st calendar day after the Issue Date to
and including (i) the 30th Business Day prior to the Maturity Date , or (ii) in the event of an early
redemption of the Bonds pursuant to Condition 6(c), the 10th Business Day prior to the date set for such
early redemption, or (iii) in case of an early redemption of the Bonds pursuant to Condition 9, the 10th
Business Day preceding such early redemption date.
"Exchange Ratio" means the number of Shares into which each Bond is exchangeable and shall
initially be a ratio of one Share per Bond, subject to adjustment from time to time, if applicable, in
accordance with Condition 5(a).
Upon any such adjustment to the Exchange Ratio, the adjusted Exchange Ratio will be rounded to the
nearest whole multiple of 0.0001 (with 0.00005 being rounded upwards). Any subsequent adjustments
will be carried out on the basis of the Exchange Ratio so adjusted and rounded.
Fractional Shares will not be delivered upon the exercise of the Exchange Right in respect of any Bonds.
However, each Bondholder exchanging a number of Bonds pursuant to any one Exchange Notice that
would otherwise be entitled to a number of Shares that is not a whole number will receive from the
Issuer a number of Shares equal to its entitlement determined by reference to the aggregate number of
Bonds presented for exchange pursuant to the relevant Exchange Notice, rounded down if necessary to
the nearest whole number of Shares and a payment equal to the Cash Exchange Value of such fractional
Share so rounded down. The Shares to be delivered and the Cash Exchange Value in relation to any
fractional Share, if any, is referred to as the "Share Settlement Amount". The Calculation Agent shall
determine the Share Settlement Amount in respect of any such exercise of the Exchange Right (in
respect of which no Cash Election or Share Cash Combination Election has been made by the Issuer).
(ii)
Suspension of the Exchange Right in the event of a Public Offer
(I)
The Issuer may elect to temporarily suspend the Exchange Right, and therefore the Exchange
Right shall not be exercisable, in the event of a Public Offer, during the period:
(A)
from (and including) the date (the "Offer Reference Date") which is:


9





(i)
in the event of a Public Offer (other than a Squeeze-Out), the later of (i) the
date of notification of the decision of the Issuer to accept a Public Offer
pursuant to paragraph (II) below and (ii) the first day of the offer period in
relation to the relevant Public Offer, or
(ii)
in the event of a Public Offer which is a Squeeze-Out, the date of the
notification pursuant to paragraph (II) below,
(B)
to (and including) the earlier of, as the case may be, (i) the Public Offer Closing Date
or (ii) the day on which the Public Offer is terminated for whatever reason or is rejected.
(II)
If the Issuer elects to temporarily suspend the Exchange Right pursuant to this Condition
4(b)(ii), it shall give notice thereof in accordance with Condition 11 as soon as possible (and in
any case no later than 2 Business Days) following:
(A)
(in the case of a Public Offer (other than a Squeeze-Out)) the later of (x) the date on
which the decision is made by the Issuer to accept the relevant Public Offer and (y) the
day on which the terms of such Public Offer are made public; and
(B)
(in the case of a Public Offer which is a Squeeze-Out) the date on which the terms of
such Public Offer are made public.
Such notice shall give details, as the case may be, of the Public Offer and inform Bondholders
of the period during which the Exchange Right is expected to be suspended as a result of the
Public Offer.

(c)
Exchange Notices
Each Bondholder may exercise the Exchange Right by causing:
(i)
one or more irrevocable notices of exchange (each an "Exchange Notice") in, or substantially
in, the then current form obtainable from the specified office of the Principal Paying and
Exchange Agent (the initial form of which is set forth in the Agency Agreement), duly
completed and signed by it or on its behalf, to be presented by the relevant Account Holder to
the Principal Paying and Exchange Agent; and
(ii)
the number of Bonds being exchanged to be surrendered by transfer to the account of the
Principal Paying and Exchange Agent,
provided that each of (i) and (ii) above occurs during the Exchange Period (and further provided that if
any of (i) or (ii) occurs on a day which is not a Business Day, or after 5:00 p.m. (Paris time) on a
