The Masse will be governed by the provisions of the French Commercial Code (with the exception of the provisions of Article L.228-48 thereof), subject to the following provisions:
The Masse will be a separate legal entity by virtue of Article L.228-103 of the French Commercial Code, acting in part through a representative (the “Representative”) and in part through a holders’ general meeting (the “Holders’ General Meeting”).
The Masse alone, to the exclusion of all individual Holders, shall exercise the common rights, actions and benefits which now or in the future may accrue with respect to the Warrants.
In accordance with Articles L. 228-59 and R. 228-67 of the French Commercial Code, notice of date, hour, place and agenda of any Holders’ General Meeting will be given by way of a press release published by the Company which will also be posted on its website (www.erytech.com) not less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the date of such general meeting on first notice, and five (5) calendar days on second notice.
Each Holder has the right to participate in a Holders General Meeting in person, by proxy, by correspondence and, in accordance with Article L. 228-61 of the French Commercial Code by videoconference or by any other means of telecommunication allowing the identification of participating Holders, as provided mutatis mutandis by Article R. 223-30-1 of the French Commercial Code.
