Neither the Offer document, nor the Offer document in response and any other document relating to the Offer (including this press release) constitute an offer to buy or sell financial instruments or a solicitation of an offer in any country in which such offer or solicitation would be illegal, or to any person to whom such an offer cannot legally be made. The security holders of the Company located outside of France may participate in the Offer only to the extent that such participation is authorized by the local law to which they are subject.
The distribution of the Offer document, the Offer document in response and any other document relating to the Offer (including this press release) and the participation in the Offer may be subject to legal restrictions in certain jurisdictions.
The Offer is not being made to persons subject directly or indirectly to such restrictions, and may not in any way be subject to an acceptance from a country in which the Offer is subject to restrictions.
Those who come into possession of the Offer document, the Offer document in response and any other document relating to the Offer (including this press release) must inform themselves of the applicable legal restrictions and comply with them.
