Appointment of an Ad Hoc Representative to Represent Defaulting Shareholders In light of the significant difficulties in reaching the required quorum, the President of the Antibes Commercial Court, has appointed by order on May 12, 2026, SCP EZAVIN-THOMAS, represented in the person of Maître Thibault EZAVIN, domiciled 1, rue Alexandre Mari – 06000 Nice, as ad hoc representative to represent defaulting shareholders at the Shareholder’s Meeting convened for June 24, 2026 on first call.

The participation of the ad hoc representative will thus bring the quorum to 100% of shares with voting rights. In order to ensure the neutrality of the ad hoc representative’s role, the voting rights attached to the shares of the defaulting shareholders will be exercised as follows: <ul type="disc"><li style="text-align:justify;">for ordinary resolutions, whether proposed, approved or not approved by the Board of Directors: half the votes in favor and half against;</li><li style="text-align:justify;">for extraordinary resolutions whether proposed or approved by the Board of Directors: two-thirds in favor and one-third against;</li><li style="text-align:justify;">for extraordinary resolutions not approved by the Board of Directors: one-third in favor and two-thirds against;</li></ul> Documentation and Participation in the General Meeting The documents relating to the General Meeting, including the draft resolutions and the proxy form, are made available to shareholders at the Company’s headquarters and on its website (<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=Qt09GSVh4KC2mP8p5J4q0P6Wr1cR2p7Mt8kj5yYVIlxro289LNiOAmusG0VzGU_gCpkMEY_tFoO37d5fvS91F_JcJaO5I5Lb50TA2axkrBJPgzmx6u_8UUyFzFzSqHEAOS41jMsK6dSrL7NualUijGUPyHjVo3Qx5IOiUlmryhQ=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">https://www.nicox.com/investors/shareholder-meetings</a>).
