Each of these public offers must be conducted in conformity and compliance with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to public offers in each country concerned.
In any case, the price must be fair and equitable and, in order to guarantee equality of treatment of shareholders and holders of securities linked to capital of the Company, the said public offers must be made at or on the basis of an identical price, which must be justified by a report drawn up by a first rank financial institution nominated by the Company whose fees and costs must be advanced by the person subject to the obligation laid down in the first paragraph of this Article 7.2.
The provisions of Article 7.2 above shall not apply:
to the Company itself in respect of shares directly or indirectly held in
treasury;
to a common or central depository of the Shares for the purposes of a listing or trading of the Shares; acting as such, provided that said depository may only exercise the voting right attached to such Shares if they have received instructions from the (beneficial) owner of the Shares, the provisions of Article
7.2 thereby applying to the (beneficial) owner of the Shares,
to the acquisition of Shares resulting from a public offer for the acquisition of all the Shares in the Company and all of the securities linked to capital;
