Ladies and gentlemen, dear shareholders, good afternoon. Welcome to Pavillon Gabriel. I hope you like the venue for the Annual General Meeting. This meeting will be videotaped, it is being broadcast and will be available on the Group's website. I will be chairing the meeting with Stanislas de Gramont, General Manager; Olivier Casanova, in charge of Finance; Philippe Sumeire, General Secretary and Secretary of the Board of Directors; Cathy Pianon, who's the Vice General Manager in charge of Public Affairs and Communication. You can recognize them.

We would like to say hello to the directors who are here, the members of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee and all the company's employees, and I would like to thank our statutory auditors for being here. The meeting statement was published in the Bulletin des Annonces Legales as per law on 11th of March 2026, and it was also published in the legal announcement Gazette. And the shareholders and the statutory auditors have been invited to attend the meeting.

I will be the Chair of the bureau of the Board of Directors, and I would like to call the 2 members representing the largest number of votes. Please be the scrutineers, Mrs. Damarys Braida and Mrs. Caroline Chevalley representing GENERACTION and the other lady represents the shareholders. Ladies, would you like to do this?

Thank you very much. Philippe Sumeire will be the General and the Secretary
