2.2 Principal provisions of the Company’s Articles of Association

2.2.1 CORPORATE PURPOSE

The Company’s corporate purpose is, in France and abroad:

  • to acquire any form of interests or investments in all types of company or business, whether French or foreign, by any appropriate means;
  • to manage any type of transferable security portfolio and to carry out any related spot or forward transactions, whether contingent or not;
  • to acquire and license any patents, trademarks, and commercial and industrial businesses;
  • and more generally, to carry out any commercial, financial, industrial, security and property transactions related to the above purposes or to any other purpose related thereto which would be likely to promote and develop the Company’s business.

2.2.2 MANAGING PARTNERS

  1. The Company is managed by one or more Managing Partners (Gérants).
    Following the death of Jean-Luc Lagardère on 14 March 2003, the Supervisory Board, at its meeting of 26 March 2003, approved Arjil Commanditée-Arco’s proposal to appoint Arnaud Lagardère as Managing Partner for a six-year term. The Company is managed by two Managing Partners: Arnaud Lagardère and the French joint-stock corporation (société anonyme) Arjil Commanditée-Arco.
    The Supervisory Board approved the General Partners’ proposals to renew Arnaud Lagardère’s appointment as Managing Partner on 11 March 2009 and 11 March 2015 for successive six-year terms, with the latest term expiring on 25 March 2021.
    Arjil Commanditée-Arco was appointed as a Managing Partner on 17 March 1998 and the Supervisory Board approved the General Partners’ proposals to re-appoint it as Managing Partner on 12 March 2004, 10 March 2010 and 9 March 2016 for successive six-year terms, with the latest term expiring on 17 March 2022.
    At the time of the most recent re-appointment of Arjil Commanditée‑Arco on 9 March 2016, the Supervisory Board, in application of the provisions of article 14-2 of the Articles of Association and acting on the recommendation of the General Partners, re-appointed:
    • Arnaud Lagardère, as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer;
    • Pierre Leroy, as Deputy Chairman and Chief Operating Officer;
    • Thierry Funck-Brentano, as Chief Operating Officer.
  2. Throughout the life of the Company, any new Managing Partner is appointed unanimously by the General Partners, with the approval of the Supervisory Board or of the General Meeting according to the provisions of article 14 of the Articles of Association below.
  3. Each Managing Partner has the broadest possible authority to act in any circumstances in the name of the Company, within the scope of the corporate purpose and subject to the powers expressly attributed by the law or the Articles of Association to the General Meeting of shareholders and the Supervisory Board. In accordance with the law, each Managing Partner may authorise and grant, in the name of the Company, any sureties, warranties and undertakings which he deems reasonable.
    Each Managing Partner may delegate part of their powers to one or more persons, whether or not they are employees of the Company and whether or not such persons have a contractual relationship with the Company. Such delegation in no way affects the duties and liability of the Managing Partner in relation to the exercise of such powers.
  4. The Managing Partner(s) must take all necessary care in handling the business of the Company
  5. The age limit for a Managing Partner who is a natural person is 80.
  6. The term of office of a Managing Partner cannot exceed six years but is renewable.

Any Managing Partner wishing to resign must inform the other Managing Partners, the General Partners and the Chairman of the Supervisory Board by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, at least three months before the date on which the said resignation is to take effect.
In the event that a corporate General Partner that is also a Managing Partner of the Company changes its own Managing Partner(s), Chairman of its Board of Directors and/or Chief Executive Officer and/or Chief Operating Officer(s), it is deemed to have resigned as Managing Partner of the Company, with immediate effect. This is also the case in the event of the sale or subscription of shares which the Supervisory Board has not approved, as described in section 2.2.3.
When a Managing Partner’s office terminates, the management of the Company is carried out by the Managing Partner or Partners who remain in office, without prejudice to the right of the General Partners to appoint a new Managing Partner as a replacement, or to renew the appointment of the outgoing Managing Partner, under the conditions described in paragraph 2 above.
When a sole Managing Partner’s office terminates, one or more new Managing Partners are appointed, or the outgoing sole Managing Partner is re-appointed, under the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 above. However, pending such appointment, the Company shall be managed by the General Partner or Partners who may delegate all necessary powers for the management of the Company until the new Managing Partner or Partners have been appointed.
A Managing Partner may be dismissed at any time on the grounds of incapacity (whether as a result of insolvency proceedings or otherwise) or for any other cause, by the unanimous decision of the General Partners, after the Supervisory Board has expressed its opinion under the conditions provided for in section 2.2.3. A Managing Partner may also be dismissed for just cause, by decision of the courts.

2.2.3 SUPERVISORY BOARD

COMPOSITION OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD (ARTICLE 12 OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION)

  1. The Company has a Supervisory Board comprising a maximum of 12 members, selected exclusively among shareholders who are neither General nor Managing Partners. In accordance with French Act no. 2019-486 dated 22 May 2019 (known as the “Pacte law”), at the Annual General Meeting on 5 May 2020, the shareholders will be asked to amend the Company’s Articles of Association in order to set out the terms and conditions for appointing two employee representative members of the Supervisory Board.
  2. The members of the Supervisory Board are appointed or dismissed by the shareholders in an Ordinary General Meeting. Shareholders who are also General Partners are not entitled to vote on such resolutions.
  3. The term of office of members of the Supervisory Board cannot exceed four years. It terminates at the close of the Annual General Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the preceding year that is held during the year in which the term of the member expires. Members of the Supervisory Board may be re-appointed. No more than one-third of the members of the Supervisory Board in office may be more than 75 years old. If this proportion is exceeded, the oldest member is deemed to have resigned.

MEETINGS OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD (ARTICLE 13 OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION)
The Supervisory Board appoints one of its members as Chairman and may, if it wishes, appoint one or more Deputy Chairmen to preside over Board meetings.
The Board meets as often as the Company’s interests require and in any event at least once every six months.
Meetings may be called by the Chairman of the Board or, in his absence, by one of the Deputy Chairmen, or by at least half of the Board members, or by each of the Company’s Managing Partners or General Partners.
At least half of the members must be present in order for the Board’s decisions to be valid.
The decisions are made by a majority vote of the members present or represented. In the event of a tied vote, the Chairman has the casting vote.
In calculating the quorum and majority, Board members attending the meeting via video conferencing or other telecommunications technology are considered to be present.
The deliberations are recorded in minutes of the meetings which are stored in a special register and signed by the Chairman of the meeting as well as by the Board Secretary or the majority of the members present.

POWERS OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD (ARTICLE 14 OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION)

  1. The management of the Company is placed under the permanent supervision of the Supervisory Board as provided by law. In accordance with the law, the Board prepares a report for each Annual General Meeting called to approve the financial statements of the Company. This report is made available to the shareholders at the same time as the Managing Partners’ report and the parent company financial statements.
    In the event of one or more Managing Partners being dismissed by the General Partners, the Board must give its opinion. For this purpose, the Board is notified by the General Partners at least 15 days in advance, and it must give its opinion within ten days of such notice. Notice is given by registered letter addressed to the Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
    The Supervisory Board draws up a report on any proposal to increase or reduce the Company’s share capital submitted to the shareholders.
    The Supervisory Board may, if it deems it necessary, after having informed the Managing Partners in writing, call an Ordinary or Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders, in compliance with the legal provisions relating to calling meetings.
    The Supervisory Board has, by law, the right to receive from the Managing Partners the same documents as are made available to the Statutory Auditors.
  2. The appointment or re-appointment of any Managing Partner must be approved by the Supervisory Board. Should Arjil Commanditée-Arco be appointed as Managing Partner, the Supervisory Board’s approval has to be obtained, not in respect of Arjil Commanditée-Arco itself, but in respect of its Chairman, Chief Executive Officers and Chief Operating Officers.
    The Supervisory Board has a maximum of 20 days from receiving notice from the General Partners in which to grant or refuse its approval of the proposed appointment.
    If the Supervisory Board refuses to approve an appointment twice within a period of two months, in respect of two different candidates, while the Company is left without a Managing Partner and is being managed on an interim basis by the General Partners under article 10-6 of the Articles of Association, approval may be given by a majority vote of the shareholders in an Ordinary General Meeting called by the General Partner(s) at which only one of the two candidates is put forward.
    In the absence of approval from either the Supervisory Board or the General Meeting in accordance with the above paragraphs, the General Partner(s) shall designate a third person. If the Supervisory Board fails to approve the appointment of the said third candidate, the appointment shall be submitted to the shareholders in an Ordinary General Meeting, which may only refuse the candidate by a vote of a two-thirds majority of the shareholders present or represented.
  3. If Arjil Commanditée-Arco becomes a Managing Partner of the Company, from the date of its appointment to such office, no person may become a shareholder of Arjil Commanditée‑Arco either by acquiring shares in Arjil Commanditée-Arco or by subscribing to an increase in its share capital, exercising share warrants or through the conversion or redemption of bonds, without the prior agreement of the Supervisory Board, which must approve or refuse this proposal within 20 days of receiving notice, either from Arjil Commanditée-Arco or from those shareholders who intend to transfer their shares.
    If such a transaction takes place without the approval of the Supervisory Board, Arjil Commanditée-Arco, by virtue of the third paragraph of article 10-6 of the Articles of Association, shall be deemed to have resigned from its office as Managing Partner, effective immediately.
  4. Any transaction for the transfer of Arjil Commanditée-Arco shares or the issue of transferable securities by Arjil Commanditée-Arco, which might alter its control immediately or in the future, is subject to the prior approval of the Company’s Supervisory Board, which must make a decision within 20 days of receiving notice, either from Arjil Commanditée-Arco or from those shareholders who intend to transfer their shares.
    Should the transaction take place without the approval of the Supervisory Board, Arjil Commanditée-Arco, by virtue of article 18-5 of the Articles of Association, shall automatically lose its status as General Partner, effective immediately.
  5. The approval of the Supervisory Board required in paragraphs 3 and 4 above shall be automatically deemed to have been given, if the acquiring or subscribing candidate makes a valid public tender offer for all of the Company’s shares. Such approval shall not be required in the event of a transfer of Arjil Commanditée‑Arco shares by way of inheritance.

2.2.4 GENERAL PARTNERS (ARTICLE 18 OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION)

  1. The General Partners (Associés Commandités) are:
    • Arnaud Lagardère, domiciled at 4, rue de Presbourg, 75116 Paris, France;

  2. The appointment of one or more new General Partners is decided by the shareholders in an Extraordinary General Meeting, upon the unanimous recommendation of the existing General Partners or Partner.
  3. The Company shall not be wound up in the case of the death or incapacity of a natural person who is a General Partner, nor in the event of liquidation of a corporate person who is a General Partner.
  4. Any natural person who is a General Partner and who is also a Managing Partner ceases to be a General Partner, automatically and effective immediately, if he is dismissed as Managing Partner for just cause under the terms of article 10-6 of the Articles of Association.
  5. Any corporate entity which is a General Partner automatically ceases to be a General Partner, effective immediately, in the event that a sale or subscription of shares which is likely to change its control has been carried out without the consent of the Supervisory Board, as provided in article 14-4 of the Articles of Association.

In either case the Articles of Association are automatically amended accordingly. The amendment is recorded and published by a Managing Partner or, in the absence of a Managing Partner, by a General Partner or by the Supervisory Board.

RIGHTS OF THE GENERAL PARTNERS (ARTICLE 18 A OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION)
A General Partner who is not also a Managing Partner (commandité non-gérant) does not participate directly in the management of the Company, except as described in article 10-6 of the Articles of Association.
General Partners exercise all the prerogatives attributed to their status by law and the Articles of Association.
By reason of the unlimited joint and several liability they assume, a General Partner who is not also a Managing Partner has the right to see all books and documents of the Company and to submit in writing to the Managing Partners any questions concerning the management of the Company. The Managing Partners must answer such questions in writing as promptly as possible.
In addition, in consideration for their unlimited joint and several liability, General Partners are entitled to specific remuneration calculated in accordance with the provisions of article 25 of the Articles of Association.

DECISIONS OF THE GENERAL PARTNERS (ARTICLE 18 B OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION)

  1. The decisions of the General Partner(s) may be made either at meetings, or by written consultation (ordinary letter, telex, telegram, fax, etc.).
  2. In the event of a written consultation, each General Partner has a period of 15 days to inform the Managing Partners of his or her decision on each of the draft resolutions. A General Partner who does not reply within this period is considered to have voted against the resolution.
  3. Decisions taken by the General Partner(s) are recorded in minutes stating, inter alia, the date and method of consultation, the report or reports made available to the General Partner(s), the text of the resolutions and the result of the vote.

The minutes are drawn up by the Managing Partners or by one of the General Partners and signed by the General Partner(s) and/or the Managing Partner(s), as appropriate.
Copies or extracts of the minutes are validly certified as true copies either by the sole Managing Partner or by one of the Managing Partners if there are more than one, and by the General Partners.

2.2.5 REQUIREMENTS FOR CHANGING SHAREHOLDERS’ RIGHTS

Any change in the rights of shareholders as defined in the Company’s Articles of Association requires:

  • a unanimous decision by the General Partners;
  • a decision by the Extraordinary General Meeting, passed by a two-thirds majority of the votes of shareholders present or represented, including votes cast remotely.

2.2.6 GENERAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

2.2.6.1 GENERAL MEETINGS (ARTICLE 19 OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION)

General Meetings are called either by the Managing Partners or by the Supervisory Board, or by any other person having the right to do so by virtue of the law or under the Articles of Association. General Meetings are held at the registered office or at any other place as indicated in the notice of meeting. Notices of meeting are issued in the manner and within the time period provided by law and regulations.
General Meetings are chaired by the Managing Partner or one of the Managing Partners if there are several of them. If the meeting is called by the Supervisory Board, it is chaired by the Chairman of the Supervisory Board or by a member of the Supervisory Board appointed to this effect. Where the meeting has been called by any other person legally empowered to do so, the meeting is chaired by the person who called the meeting. If the person entitled or appointed to chair the meeting fails to do so, the meeting itself elects its Chairman.
The duties of vote tellers (scrutateurs) are performed by the two shareholders having the greatest number of shares, either directly or by way of proxy, and who are present and accept to be tellers. The vote tellers thus designated constitute the officers of the meeting (bureau), and appoint a secretary who need not be a shareholder. The officers of the meeting verify, certify and sign the attendance register, on the basis of specifications provided by the establishment in charge of organising the meeting, ensure that discussions are properly held, settle any differences that may arise in the course of the meeting, count the votes cast and ensure their validity and ensure that minutes of the meeting are drawn up.
Minutes recording the deliberations of each meeting are entered in a special register signed by the officers of the meeting. The minutes, drawn up and recorded in this form, are considered to be a true transcript of the meeting. All copies of or extracts from the minutes must be certified by one of the Managing Partners, by the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, or by the secretary of the meeting.

2.2.6.2 ORDINARY GENERAL MEETINGS (ARTICLE 20 OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION)

The Annual General Meeting examines the management report prepared by the Managing Partners, the report of the Supervisory Board and the Statutory Auditors’ reports. It discusses and approves the Company financial statements for the previous year and the proposed allocation of profit, in accordance with the law and the Articles of Association. In addition, the Annual General Meeting and any other Ordinary General Meeting may appoint or dismiss the members of the Supervisory Board, appoint the Statutory Auditors and vote on all questions within its authority and placed on the agenda, with the exception of those matters defined in article 21 of the Articles of Association as being exclusively within the authority of an Extraordinary General Meeting.
With the exception of resolutions concerning the election, resignation or dismissal of Supervisory Board members and the approval of the appointment of a Managing Partner (after the Supervisory Board has exercised its power of veto twice within two months in accordance with section 2.2.3 – Powers of the Supervisory Board), resolutions may only be passed at an Ordinary General Meeting with the unanimous and prior consent of the General Partners. This consent must be obtained by the Managing Partners prior to the said Ordinary General Meeting.
Apart from the case expressly provided for in the last paragraph of article 14-2 of the Articles of Association (see section 2.2.3 – Powers of the Supervisory Board), such resolutions are passed by a majority vote of the shareholders present, represented or having voted by mail at this meeting.

2.2.6.3 EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETINGS (ARTICLE 21 OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION)

Extraordinary General Meetings may validly deliberate on:

  • any amendments of the Articles of Association for which approval by an Extraordinary General Meeting is required by law, including, but not limited to, and subject to the provisions of the Articles of Association, the following;
  • an increase or reduction of the Company’s share capital;
  • a change in the terms and conditions of share transfers;
  • a change in the composition of Ordinary General Meetings or in the shareholders’ voting rights at Ordinary or Extraordinary General Meetings;
  • a change in the purposes of the Company, its duration or its registered office, subject to the powers granted to the Managing Partners to transfer the Company’s registered office pursuant to the Articles of Association;
  • the transformation of the Company into a company having another legal form, such as a French joint-stock corporation (société anonyme) or a limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée);
  • the winding-up of the Company;
  • the merging of the Company;
  • and all other matters on which an Extraordinary General Meeting may validly decide in accordance with the law.

No resolution can be passed by the Extraordinary General Meeting without the unanimous prior consent of the General Partner(s). However, where there are several General Partners, a resolution to transform the Company into a company having another legal form requires the prior agreement of only a majority of the General Partners.
The agreement of the General Partner(s) must be obtained by the Managing Partners, in advance of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

2.2.6.4 ATTENDANCE AND REPRESENTATION AT MEETINGS, PROXIES, DOUBLE VOTING RIGHTS (ARTICLE 19 OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION)

Each shareholder has the right to attend General Meetings and to take part in the deliberations, either personally or through a proxy, subject to providing proof of their identity and to submitting evidence of the registration of their shares in the nominative shareholders’ accounts kept by the Company – either in their own name or in the name of the authorised intermediary acting on their behalf in accordance with the seventh paragraph of article L 228-1 of the French Commercial Code – at 00:00 hours, Paris time, on the second working day preceding the meeting.
Subject to inclusion of the relevant decision by the Managing Partners in the public notice of meeting and the notice of call of meeting sent to shareholders, shareholders may participate in General Meetings by means of video conferencing technology, and vote in these meetings by electronic means of communication. The Managing Partners shall establish the procedures of attendance and voting after consulting the Supervisory Board. Any technologies used must guarantee the continuous and simultaneous transmission of the deliberations of the meeting, secure communication, authentication of those participating and voting and the integrity of the votes cast.
A shareholder who does not personally attend the meeting may choose one of the three following possibilities:

  • give proxy to any other person of their choice; or
  • vote remotely; or
  • send a blank proxy form to the Company without naming a proxy, in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.

In this last case, the Chairman of the General Meeting casts a vote in favour of the draft resolutions presented or approved by the Managing Partners and a vote against all other draft resolutions. In order to cast their votes differently, shareholders must either vote remotely or choose a proxy holder who agrees to vote as instructed by them.
If a shareholder decides, after a decision of the Managing Partners taken in accordance with the terms of the second paragraph of article 19-3 of the Articles of Association, either to vote remotely, or to give a proxy to a third party, or to send a proxy to the Company without indicating the name of a proxy-holder, by sending the corresponding form electronically, the electronic signature must:

  • either take the form of a secure electronic signature as defined by the applicable legislation;
  • or result from the use of a reliable identification procedure guaranteeing the connection between the shareholder and the document to which his or her identity is attached, or from any other identification and/or verification procedure admitted by the applicable legislation.

At each General Meeting, each shareholder has a number of votes equal to the number of shares he or she owns or represents, as evidenced by the share register on the second working day prior to the meeting at 00:00 hours, Paris time. However, voting rights double those attributed to other shares as a proportion of the share capital they represent – two votes for each share – are attributed to all those shares which are fully paid-up and which have been registered in the name of the same shareholder for at least four years. In addition, shareholders entitled to double voting rights on the date on which the Company was transformed into a French partnership limited by shares (société en commandite par action – SCA), retain their double voting rights.
Furthermore, where the Company’s share capital is increased by incorporation of reserves, profits or issue premiums, double voting rights are granted, from the date of issue, in respect of registered shares distributed free of charge to the holder of shares which originally carried double voting rights.
Transfer of title to a share results in the loss of double voting rights. However, transfer of title as a result of inheritance, the liquidation of commonly-held property between spouses or an inter vivos gift to a spouse or to a relative automatically entitled to inherit under French law does not cause existing double voting rights to lapse, nor does it interrupt the four-year period referred to above. Similarly, the merger or demerger of the Company has no effect on double voting rights, which may be exercised within the resulting company or companies if the Articles of Association of the said companies recognise such rights. For pledged shares, the right to vote is exercised by the owner.
For shares where beneficial ownership and bare ownership are separated, the right to vote is exercised by the beneficial owner (usufruitier) at Ordinary General Meetings, and by the bare owner (nu-propriétaire) at Extraordinary General Meetings. 

2.2.7 REQUIREMENTS FOR A CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY

As stated above at the beginning of section 2.1.1, a French partnership limited by shares (société en commandite par actions – SCA) has two categories of partner: General Partners and Limited Partners.
Any change in control of the Company implies a change in the composition of both categories of partner. As the Company is listed on the stock exchange, it would be possible for a third party to take control of the capital and associated voting rights through a public tender offer. However, it would not be possible to take control over General Partners’ meetings, and consequently, no third party could independently amend the Company’s Articles of Association. As any new Managing Partner must be appointed by unanimous decision of the General Partners subject to approval of the Supervisory Board, the person or entity taking control over the capital and associated voting rights would be unable to appoint new Managing Partners.
Therefore, it is impossible to appoint any new Managing Partners or amend the Articles of Association without the consent of the General Partners.
In view of these measures, no change in control of the Company could take place without the consent of the General Partners who manage the Company until the end of the period during which the Company is left without a Managing Partner.

2.2.8 DISCLOSURE OF SHAREHOLDINGS EXCEEDING SPECIFIC THRESHOLDS (ARTICLE 9 A OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION)

Without prejudice to the provisions of article L 233-7 of the French Commercial Code, any shareholder holding directly or indirectly, as defined in said article L 233-7, 1% or more of the voting rights, must, within five days following registration to his account of the shares that brought his holding to or above such threshold, disclose to the Company the total number of shares and voting rights he holds by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt addressed to the head office. For registered shareholders and intermediaries not living in France, this disclosure may be made by means of a procedure similar to that of sending a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt in use in his country of residence. Such procedure must enable Lagardère SCA to have proof of the date on which the disclosure was sent and received. This procedure must be repeated as described above every time a threshold of a further 1% is crossed.
In the absence of disclosure according to the conditions described above, all shares in excess of the threshold for which disclosure should have been made may lose their voting rights for any General Meeting that may be held within a two-year period following the date on which the declaration is finally made, at the request of one or more shareholders together holding 5% or more of the share capital, such request being duly recorded in the minutes of the General Meeting.
In these same circumstances, voting rights attached to such shares for which a proper declaration has not been made cannot be exercised by the shareholder at fault, nor may he or she delegate such rights to others.
In accordance with the applicable legal regulations, particularly article L 228-2 of the French Commercial Code, the Company has the right to obtain at any time from the central securities depositary in charge of the Company’s share issue account the name, or corporate name in the case of a corporate shareholder, nationality, date of birth or formation, and address of holders of securities carrying immediate or deferred voting rights at its own General Meetings, together with the number of securities held by each of them and the restrictions, if any, that may apply to those securities.
