Preference shares are convertible into ordinary shares at the option of

their holders exercised in the cases referred to in Article 8.2 of the Articles

of Association. More specifically, preference shares are convertible into

ordinary shares, in one or more tranches, at the option of their holders

exercised in the following cases:

during the ten final calendar days of each civil quarter;

at any time during a period of one month following the notification of

the implementation of the promise of sale referred to below; and,

in the event of the liquidation of the company, during a period

starting 15 days after the publication of the decision to liquidate and

ending on the day before the General Meeting closing the liquidation.

Conversions will occur at the rate of one ordinary share for one preference

share. Conversions will be considered to take place with effect on the date

of sending the application for conversion. The applications for conversion

must be sent to the company by the holder of preference shares by regis-

tered letter, indicating the number of preference shares for which conver-

sion is requested. Before 01.05.2009, the start date of the first conversion

opportunity, each holder of preference shares received a letter containing

information on the procedure to be followed.

The subscription or acquisition of preference shares implies a commit-

ment to sell such shares to a third party designated by the company (call

option) dating from the 15th year following their issue (2019), subject to

the conditions and in accordance with the procedure defined in Article 8

of the Articles of Association. Finally, the preference share has priority in

the case of liquidation.
