The delay in completing the Required Filings is due, among other, to a change of auditors that took place last year (see November 7, 2024, release). As the newly appointed auditor, Forvis Mazars S.E.N.C.R.L. requires additional time to review the Company’s historical contractual arrangements and assess their potential impact on the financial statements.

This review has become even more relevant because, during the Audit Period, L’Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) also requested clarifications on similar matters. Given the overlap in the Auditor’s and the AMF’s inquiries, the Auditor intends to assist us in writing a consolidated response — addressing the AMF’s questions and finalizing the audited financial statements at the same time.

The Company expects to submit the Required Filings by May 6, 2025, which aligns with the AMF’s deadline for responding to its queries.
