Addendum

A material error occurred in the documentation for the meeting of 28 May 2013 concerning the sixteenth resolution relating to the authorization granted to the Board for the issuance of various securities; indeed, the threshold of "thirty million euros (€ 30 million)" set forth in the original text of the resolution submitted to the shareholders should read "three million euros (€ 3,000,000)."
 
Convened on May 28, the Board of Directors has adopted the amendment allowing the shareholders to vote on the corrected text.
