III - OBJECTIVES OF THE SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMME AND USE OF THE SHARES PURCHASED

The objectives of this repurchase programme as defined in Resolutions 13 and 23 of the General Meeting of Shareholders of 26 April 2018 are classified by decreasing order of priority (which bears no relation to the actual order of implementation, which will be determined according to requirements and opportunities), and concern the following situations:

  • • market making by means of a liquidity contract, in accordance with the code of ethics of the French Association of Investment Firms (AFEI), recognised by the Financial Markets Authority,

  • • grants of shares to employees subject to legal provisions,

  • • purchase for retention or remittance in exchange or in payment, in connection with potential external growth transactions (within the limit of 5% of the share capital)

  • • cancellation of shares

The shares bought and retained by Affine shall be deprived of voting rights and will not confer dividend rights.

The Board of Directors will inform the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the purchases and transfers of shares carried out in this way, as well as the different objectives to which the shares acquired are allocated, and, where appropriate, reallocated, in accordance with legal requirements.

IV - LEGAL FRAMEWORK

This program is in line with the provisions of Articles 241-1 to 241-5 of the general regulations of the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) and EC Regulation 2273/2003 of 22 December 2003. It was approved by the Combined General Meeting of Shareholders (Resolutions Nos. 13 and 23) of 26 April 2018. The Board of Directors of 26 April 2018 decided to run this programme.

V - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1) Maximum amount of the share capital that may be acquired, and maximum amount payable by Affine

The maximum proportion of the share capital that Affine may acquire at any time is limited to 10% of the share capital. Given that the company directly held 18,997 own shares at 26 April 2018, i.e. about 0.19% of the share capital, a maximum of 986,610 shares may be bought back, i.e. 9.81% of the share capital, unless the company sells or transfers the securities it already holds.

The maximum purchase price of each share is €30. The maximum amount of capital that may be allocated to the share repurchase is €30,168,210.

In accordance with current legislation, the company undertakes not to hold, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the share capital

2) Repurchase procedure

The purchases, sales and transfers may be carried out using any methods available on the market, or by mutual agreement, including transactions concerning blocks of securities. It is stated that the resolution put to the shareholders does not limit the proportion of the programme that can be carried out by purchasing blocks of securities. The Board of Directors may choose to carry out these transactions at any time, including during the public offering of shares, within the limits allowed under stock market regulations. If derivative products are used, the company shall make sure that it does not increase the volatility of the security.

3) Programme duration and schedule

- either at the end of the General Meeting called to give a ruling on the financial statements for the financial year which ended on 31 December 2018, if the programme is ended by the General Meeting with immediate effect, for the unused part;

- or at the latest on 26 October 2019, at the end of the maximum period of 18 months.
