In addition, the text of this provision must comply with the new law allowing for the possibility of one or more shareholders, who together possess at least 3% of the equity capital of the company, to request that items be put on the agenda for any General Shareholders' Meeting. It is therefore proposed to revise paragraph 2 and to introduce a new paragraph 3 to Article 34. Paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 34 of the by-laws would thus read as follows: The Board of Directors and the Auditors may call extraordinary shareholders meetings and prepare their agendas. They shall call them on the request of shareholders representing one-fifth of the Corporation's registered capital.

Paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 34 of the by-laws would thus read as follows: "The Board of Directors and the Auditors may call extraordinary shareholders' meetings and prepare their agendas.
