Guillaume Pepy

Good morning, everyone. We're now going to start because it is now 9:30 a.m. Welcome to this general meeting. We're delighted to be with you. This is a combined general meeting of Emeis S.A. And like every year, it's an essential moment, a privileged moment in the life of the company to inform, to exchange and to have a dialogue between the Board, top management and yourself, the shareholders of Emeis. A few legal details. I shall chair this GM as Chairman of the Board with this CEO, Laurent Guillot; Jean-Marc Boursier, Deputy CEO and CFO; and Aulde Courtois, Director of Governance, who is also Secretary of the Board of Directors.

So let me inform you about the proceedings of this meeting. You can see them on screen. I will not comment further. The prior formalities shall now be made with the constitution of the bureau. There was an initial notice of convening published on May 15 at the BALO and a notice published on June 5 in the same BALO as also on the website, lefigaro.fr, this general meeting can therefore be convened in its -- both its ordinary and extraordinary format because at this precise moment, the quorum has been reached 67.17%, 107,801,454 Shareholders -- just a brief reminder, when the assembly will be functioning as an ordinary general meeting will require a simple majority. And in its extraordinary format, the resolutions will be adopted if there is a 2/3 majority. I therefore declare this general meeting open and suggest that we now appoint the members of the bureau.
