Investors may participate in the Priority Offer for a greater number of shares, but their orders will be subjected to the same rules as the Non-Priority Offer for the surplus. The Offer could be closed early by decision of the broker Weghsteen & Driege, in agreement with the company Fixinox as soon as the total number of shares for which orders have been legitimately introduced reaches or exceeds the number of offered shares.

Nevertheless, the non-priority offer will remain open at least during 3 working days.

The final number of shares within the framework of the Priority Offer and the Non-Priority Offer may be adapted according to demand. There are no guarantees with regard to the issue of new shares.
