of EUR179,387.04, the balance to be carried forward being EUR1,573.50.

The amount of this distribution corresponds to a dividend of EUR0.21 per share.
The dividend payment date will be 15 April 2010, with an effective payment three

The General Meeting also approved the extension of the share buyback programme
within the framework of the existing liquidity share management agreement for a
further 18 months, subject to the number of treasury shares not exceeding 5% of
share capital and a maximum purchase price of EUR65 per share.

Lastly, the General Meeting approved two technical amendments to the Articles of

taken by a simple majority in all circumstances.

The Board of Directors, in its meeting on the same date, adopted the description
of the share buyback programme already referred to and, within this framework,
