constitutional document "As from the date of admission of the Company's shares
to trading on a regulated market, a voting right double that which is conferred
on other A Shares, by reference to the fraction of share capital they represent,
is attributed, under the conditions provided by applicable law and regulations,
to all fully paid-up A Shares which can be shown to have been held by the same
shareholder in registered form for two years (such two year period running from
the date of admission of the Company's shares to trading on a regulated
market)."
