* Since the Annual General Meeting was held on May 27, 2015, the Company was unable to both set the ex-dividend date for, and to pay, the first dividend installment in May according to the usual schedule, and has therefore resolved, in coordination with the stock exchange and with a view to ensuring the appropriate functioning of the market for its shares from a substantive standpoint, to pay such installment in Europe on June 17, 2015 with an ex-dividend date on June 15, 2015. Other than indicated in the table, the ex-dividend and payment dates for the subsequent installments are consistent with the usual schedule.
