  1. PURPOSE

The Performance Based Plan sets forth the conditions and criteria for the grant of Restricted Stock Units under the Performance Based Plan, pursuant to Articles L. 225-197-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code and to the authorization granted by the shareholders’ meeting of the Company dated October 23, 2015.

The purposes of the Performance Based Plan are:

to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility;

to provide additional incentive to Beneficiaries, including performance incentives; and

to promote the success of the Company's business.

  1. BENEFICIARIES: ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES

Pursuant to the authorization of the shareholders’ general meeting dated October 23, 2015 , the Board of Directors of the Company will approve the list of Beneficiaries among the chief executive officer and, from time to time, certain named executive officers, members of executive management and certain other employees of the Group, as determined by the Board of Directors, together with the indication of the number of Restricted Stock Units granted to each of them.

  1. NOTICE OF THE GRANT OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

The notice of the Grant of Restricted Stock Units to each Beneficiary shall be made pursuant to a Grant Letter made available to the Beneficiary together with a copy of the Performance Based Plan as amended and restated, indicating the number of Restricted Stock Units granted, the Vesting Period, the Holding Period, if any, and the Performance Targets (as described in Article 6.1 and 6.2).

The Beneficiary shall acknowledge receipt of the Grant documentation comprised of the Grant Letter and of the Performance Based Plan by accepting online his or her documentation by means of the tool made available by the Company and by sending signed copies of the Grant Letter within 6 months (or such other number of days determined by the Company) from the date of notification by the Company of the availability on line of the Grant documentation; the documents being deemed to be received on the date of the electronic delivery.

  1. VESTING PERIOD

6.1. Principle

Appendix C-6

(a) The Restricted Stock Units granted under the 2015 Performance Based Plan shall vest in the Beneficiaries at the end of the Vesting Period, provided that the following condition(s) precedent(s) is (are) met:

  1. except as set forth in Article 6.1(b), continued presence of the Beneficiary in his or her capacity as employee and/or corporate officer of the Company or of any of the companies of the Group during the Vesting Period, in the absence of which he or she will not be entitled to acquire Ordinary Shares on the date when this condition is no longer met; and

  2. attainment of one or more Performance Targets determined by the Board of Directors at grant in accordance with Article 6.2 and reflected in the relevant Grant Letter.

Should the Beneficiary be at the same time an employee and an officer of the same company or of two companies of the Group, the loss of one of these capacities shall not result in the loss of the right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units granted under the Performance Based Plan at the end of the Vesting Period; provided, that if the Beneficiary is an officer on the Grant Date and subsequently ceases to be an officer of any company of the Group, the Board of Directors shall have the discretion to terminate the Beneficiary’s Restricted Stock Units granted under the Performance Based Plan at any time up to the end of the Vesting Period.

Pursuant to Article L. 225-197-3 of the French Commercial Code, the Beneficiaries hold a claim against the Company which is personal and may not be transferred until the end of the Vesting Period, except in case of death.

During the Vesting Period, the Beneficiaries will not own the Ordinary Shares and will not be shareholders of the Company. As a consequence, they will not hold any rights attached to the Ordinary Shares.

(b) Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors at the Grant Date, if the Beneficiary (i) ceases to be an employee or officer of the Group more than one year after the Grant Date but prior to (A) the Vesting Date or (B) in the case of a Grant that vests in tranches, the vesting date of the first tranche of the Grant (such date in either (A) or (B), the“First Vesting Date”), and (ii) prior to the termination of his or her employment or term of office, any applicable Performance Targets (as defined below) are fully satisfied, then the Beneficiary shall vest in, on the First Vesting Date, only those Restricted Stock Units that correspond to the Performance Targets that were fully satisfied prior to the termination of his or her employment or term of office (rounded to the nearest whole number). For instance, for a Grant where 2/3 of the Restricted Stock Units vest upon the second anniversary of the Grant Date subject to the attainment of Performance Target No. 1 and 1/3 of the Restricted Stock Units vest upon the third anniversary of the Grant Date subject to the attainment of said Performance Target No. 1, if the Beneficiary ceases to be an employee or officer of the Group on the day following the first anniversary of the Grant Date and the Board determines that, by that date, the Beneficiary has satisfied said Performance Target No. 1 at 100%, it shall vest in on such second anniversary date 1/3 of his Restricted Stock Units, with the balance being automatically forfeited. If said Performance Target No. 1 is not met at the 100% level or higher prior to the Beneficiary’s termination, the Beneficiary’s entire Grant will be automatically forfeited.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Article 6.1(b) shall apply only for Grants where the First Vesting Date is more than one year after the Grant Date.

(c) In addition to any other powers set forth in the Performance Based Plan and subject to the provisions of the Performance Based Plan, the Board of Directors shall have the full and final power

Appendix C-7 and authority, in its discretion, to determine the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to each Grant (which need not be identical) and any Restricted Stock Units acquired pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, the Performance Measures (as defined below), performance period, performance award formula and Performance Targets (as defined below) applicable to any grant and the extent to which such Performance Targets have been attained. Further, the Board of Directors shall have the full and final power and authority, in its discretion, to determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances a Grant may be settled, cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered.

Notwithstanding Articles 6.6, 6.7 and 6.8 of the Performance Based Plan, the Board of Directors shall not accelerate or shorten the minimum Vesting Period of one year. For clarity, there shall be no automatic acceleration of vesting with respect to a Grant under the Performance Plan solely based on a Change in Control.

6.2 Performance criteria

The vesting of any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder shall be subject to or conditioned upon, in whole or in part, the achievement of Performance Targets in accordance with the following terms and conditions (each, a “Performance Grant”):

6.2.1 Establishment of performance period, performance targets and performance award formula

In granting each Performance Grant, the Board of Directors shall establish in writing the applicable performance period, performance award formula and one or more Performance Targets (as defined herein) which, when measured at the end of the performance period, shall determine, on the basis of the performance award formula, the final number of Restricted Stock Units acquired by the Beneficiary. The Board of Directors shall have full power and final authority, in its discretion, to alter or cancel the Performance Targets or performance award formula applicable to a Beneficiary, including, without limitation, in the event that the Beneficiary changes roles or functions within the Group during the performance period. In any case, the performance period shall not be shorter than one year.

6.2.2 Measurement of performance targets

Performance shall be evaluated by the Board of Directors on the basis of targets to be attained (“Performance Targets”) with respect to one or more measures of business or financial performance (each, a“Performance Measure”), subject to the following:

(a) Performance Measures

(i) Determination of Performance Measures. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors and in each case to the extent applicable, Performance Measures shall have the same meanings as used in the Company’s financial statements, or, if such terms are not used in the Company’s financial statements, they shall have the meaning applied pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles or as used generally in the Company’s industry.

(ii) Calculation of Performance Measures. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, the Performance Measures applicable to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and excluding the effect (whether positive or negative) of any change in accounting standards or any extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring item, as determined by the Board of Directors, occurring after the establishment of the Performance Targets applicable

Appendix C-8 to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units. Each such adjustment, if any, shall be made solely for the purpose of providing a consistent basis from period to period for the calculation of Performance Measures in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the Beneficiary’s rights with respect to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units.

(iii) Types of Performance Measures. Performance Measures may be one or more of the following or such other measures as determined by the Board of Directors:

(1) contribution excluding traffic acquisition costs;

(2) adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined by the Company in its financial statements as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission in the United States;

(3) cash flow from operating activities;

(4) stock price;

(5) completion of identified special project(s); or

(6) any combination of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may provide that one or more objectively determinable adjustments shall be made to the Performance Measures, which may include adjustments that would cause the measures to be considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(b) Performance Targets

Where applicable, Performance Targets may, without limitation, be expressed in terms of attaining a specified level of the Performance Measure or the attainment of a percentage increase or decrease in the particular Performance Measure, and may be applied to one or more of the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, or a division or strategic business unit of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, or may be applied to the performance of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof relative to a market index, a group of other companies or a combination thereof, all as determined by the Board of Directors. The Performance Targets may be subject to a threshold level of performance below which no Restricted Stock Units will vest, levels of performance at which specified numbers of Restricted Stock Units will vest, and a maximum level of performance above which no additional number of Restricted Stock Units will vest (or at which full vesting will occur).

6.3 Compliance with Company Policies

1)Grant Subject to Clawback Policy. The Grant Letter shall contain an acknowledgement and agreement by the Beneficiary that any Grant pursuant to the Performance Based Plan shall be subject to any applicable clawback policy of the Company, as adopted by the Company from time to time, as well as to any clawback required by any applicable laws, regulations or trading rules of any exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed at such time.

Appendix C-9

2)Share Ownership Guidelines. Any Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to the vesting of Restricted Stock Units may need to be retained by the Beneficiary in order to comply with the Company’s Share Ownership Guidelines, to the extent applicable to the Beneficiary.

6.4 Internal mobility

In the event of transfer or temporary assignment of the Beneficiary within a company of the Group, implying (i) the termination of the initial employment agreement and the entering into of a new employment agreement or of a position as officer, and/or (ii) a resignation of the Beneficiary from his or her position as officer and the acceptance of a new position of officer or the entering into of a new employment agreement in one of such companies, the Beneficiary shall retain his or her right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units at the end of the Vesting Period.

6.5 Agreed Leave of Absence Exceeding Three Months

In the event a Beneficiary is on an Agreed Leave, such Beneficiary’s Grant(s) shall (a) stop vesting on the first day of the quarter immediately following the quarter during which the Agreed Leave begins; and (b) resume vesting on the first day of the quarter immediately following the quarter in which the Agreed Leave ends. As a result of any Agreed Leave, the Vesting Period for the applicable Grant(s) shall be extended in accordance with this Article 6.5.

6.6 Disability

In the event of Disability before the end of the Vesting Period, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest in the Beneficiary on the date of Disability in accordance with articles 6.1 and 6.2 and reflected in the Grant Letter, but being noted that (i) the condition related to the continued presence of the Beneficiary in his or her capacity as employee and/or corporate officer of the Company or of any of the companies of the Group during the Vesting Period will be considered as met immediately on the date of Disability and (ii) the condition of the attainment of one or more Performance Targets determined by the Board of Directors at grant will be measured on the date of Disability.

6.7 Death

In the event of the death of the Beneficiary during the Vesting Period, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest in accordance with articles 6.1 and 6.2 and reflected in the Grant Letter, but being noted that (i) the condition related to the continued presence of the Beneficiary in his or her capacity as employee and/or corporate officer of the Company or of any of the companies of the Group during the Vesting Period will be considered as met immediately on the date of death and (ii) the condition of the attainment of one or more Performance Targets determined by the Board of Directors at grant will be measured on the date of death.

The Restricted Stock Units shall vest at the date of the request made by his or her beneficiaries in the framework of the inheritance. The request for the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units by the heirs shall be made within six months from the date of death in compliance with Article L. 225-197-3 of the French Commercial Code.

6.8 Retirement

In the event of the retirement of a Beneficiary during the Vesting Period, and notwithstanding the number of Restricted Stock Units that may vest pursuant to Article 6.1(b) upon retirement of such Beneficiary, the Board of

Appendix C-10

Directors of the Company may decide that the conditions set forth in Article 6.1 above shall be deemed to be met for all or part of the Restricted Stock Units prior to the date of such retirement.

6.9 Change in Control

(1)Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, an agreement between a Group company and the Beneficiary or in the applicable Grant Letter, in the event of a Change in Control:

(◦)Where the successor corporation or parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation does not agree to assume or substitute for any outstanding Grant, for each Grant that is not assumed or substituted for and for which the Grant Date is at least one year prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, the restrictions and forfeiture conditions applicable to the Vesting Period shall lapse, any performance conditions imposed with respect to such Grant shall be deemed to be achieved at target performance levels and the Restricted Stock Units shall be deemed fully vested by the Beneficiary prior to the consummation of the Change in Control. Any Grant for which the Grant Date is less than one year prior to the consummation of the Change in Control shall either be assumed or substituted for in accordance with Article 6.9(a)(ii) or cancelled in accordance with Article 6.9(a)(iii) below.

(◦)For the purposes of this Article 6.9, a Grant will be considered assumed or substituted if, (A) following the Change in Control, the Grant confers the right to receive, for each Restricted Stock Unit subject to the Grant immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) or the fair market value, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, of the consideration received in the Change in Control by holders of Ordinary Shares for each such share held on the effective date of the transaction ; provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, the Board of Directors may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide that the consideration to be received for each Restricted Stock Unit shall be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, to the per share consideration received by holders of Ordinary Shares in the Change in Control; (B) any securities of the successor corporation or its parent forming part of the Grant following the Change in Control are freely tradable on a major stock exchange; and (C) the Grant otherwise remains subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the Grant immediately prior to the Change in Control.

(◦)Notwithstanding any other provision of the 2015 Performance Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, except as would otherwise result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, provide that each Grant shall, immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, be cancelled in exchange for a payment in cash or securities in an amount equal to (i) the consideration paid per Ordinary Share in the Change in Control multiplied by (ii) the number of Restricted Stock Units granted. The Board of Directors shall not be required to treat all Grants similarly for purposes of this Article 6.9(a). Payment of amounts under this Article 6.9(a) shall be made in such form, on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Board of Directors determines in its discretion, which may or may not be the same as the form, terms and conditions applicable to payments to the Company's shareholders in connection with the Change in Control and may, in the Board of

Appendix C-11

Directors’ discretion, include subjecting such payments to vesting conditions comparable to the Grants surrendered, subjecting such payments to escrow or holdback provisions comparable to those imposed upon the Company's shareholders in connection with the Change in Control, or calculating and paying the present value of payments that would otherwise be subject to escrow or holdback terms.

(2)The obligations of the Company under the Performance Based Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the Change in Control.

6.10 Compliance with Laws and Liability of the Company

a) Shares shall not be sold or issued pursuant to the vesting of Restricted Stock Units unless the vesting of such Restricted Stock Units, and the issuance or sale and delivery of such shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law including, without limitation, the French Commercial Code, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, Applicable Laws and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the shares may then be listed or quoted, the laws of any applicable jurisdiction in which Restricted Stock Units are granted and any other French, U.S. or other laws applicable to the Restricted Stock Units.

b) Without limiting the provisions of Article 6.10(a) above, the inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction or to otherwise comply with any applicable law, which authority or compliance is deemed by any counsel to the Company to be necessary for the lawful issuance or sale of any shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained or as to which such legal compliance has not been possible or practicable, and shall constitute circumstances in which the Board may determine to amend or cancel the Restricted Stock Units, with or without consideration to the affected Beneficiary.

c) The Company and its affiliated companies may not be held responsible in any way if the Beneficiary for any reason not attributable to the Company or its affiliated companies was not able to acquire the shares.

  1. HOLDING PERIOD

7.1 Principle

1)During the Holding Period, if any, the Beneficiaries concerned will be the owner of the Ordinary Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units granted under the Performance Based Plan and will be shareholders of the Company. As a consequence, they will benefit from all the rights attached to the capacity of shareholder of the Company.

However, the Ordinary Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units shall not be transferable during the Holding Period, if any, and the Beneficiaries may not transfer or pledge those shares, by any means, or convert them into bearer form.

2)At the end of the Holding Period, if any, the Restricted Stock Units will be fully transferable, subject to the provisions of the following paragraph.

Appendix C-12

At the end of the Holding Period, if any, the Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units granted under the Performance Based Plan may not be transferred (i) if a “black-out” period is in effect pursuant to the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, as in effect at such time, or (ii) otherwise in contravention of any applicable laws or regulations, or trading rules or restrictions of any exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed at such time.

7.2 Specific situations

Notwithstanding the provisions of the second paragraph of Article 7.1 above, the Ordinary Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units delivered to the Beneficiaries referred to in Article 6.5 above or to the beneficiaries of the deceased Beneficiary referred to in Article 6.6 above may be freely transferred as from the date of their date of vesting.

  1. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ORDINARY SHARES

The Ordinary Shares delivered pursuant to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall be, at the Company’s choice, new shares to be issued by the Company or existing shares acquired by the Company.

As from the Vesting Date, the Ordinary Shares delivered pursuant to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all the provisions of the Bylaws. They shall be assimilated to existing Ordinary Shares and shall benefit from the same rights as from the Vesting Date.

Restricted Stock Units that do not vest do not give right to any dividend paid or dividend equivalent accumulated prior to the Vesting Date.

  1. DELIVERY AND HOLDING OF THE ORDINARY SHARES UNDERLYING THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

At the end of the Vesting Period, the Company shall deliver to the Beneficiary the Ordinary Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units vested under the Performance Based Plan provided that the conditions and criteria for such vesting provided by Articles 5 and 6 above are met. However, Ordinary Shares may not be delivered in fractional shares. Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement or grant letter, the number of Ordinary Shares delivered at the end of any Vesting Period will always be rounded to the nearest whole number, provided however that the rounding does not result in the issuance of Ordinary Shares in excess of the total number of Ordinary Shares subject to the Grant.

If the Vesting Date is not a Working Day, the delivery of the Ordinary Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units shall be completed the first Working Day following the end of the Vesting Period.

The Ordinary Shares that may be acquired under the Performance Based Plan will be held, during the Holding Period (if any), in nominative form(nominatif pur) in an individual account opened in the name of the relevant Beneficiary at UPTEVIA with a legend stating that they cannot be transferred. If the provisions of Article 7.1(b) above are applicable at the end of the Holding Period (or the end of the Vesting Period if there is no Holding Period), the Restricted Stock Units shall remain in nominative form(nominatif pur) at UPTEVIA until such time as they are transferred to make sure that the restrictions set forth in Article 7.1(b) above are complied with.

In the event that, as a consequence of the Grant of Restricted Stock Units under the Performance Based Plan, the Company or any of the companies of the Group shall be compelled to pay taxes, social costs or any other social security taxes or contributions on behalf of the Beneficiary, the Company retains the right to postpone or to forbid the delivery of the Ordinary Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units on the Vesting Date until the

Appendix C-13 relevant Beneficiary has paid to the Company or to the relevant company of the Group the amount corresponding to these taxes, social costs, or social security taxes or contributions.

  1. SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN; INDIVIDUAL LIMITATIONS

10.1 Shares Available

Subject to adjustment as provided in Articles 11 and 12, the maximum aggregate number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units that may be delivered under the Performance Based Plan shall not exceed the number of shares remaining available for issuance or transfer under the Company’s equity compensation plans pursuant to authorizations previously approved by the shareholders of the Company, as of the Grant Date, that are not subject to outstanding awards thereunder. Any Restricted Stock Units granted in connection with a Grant under the Performance Based Plan (i.e., grants other than options or warrants) shall be counted against this limit as 1.57 shares for every one Ordinary Share underlying the Restricted Stock Unit granted in connection with such Grant. Shares subject to the Performance Based Plan shall consist of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares, as well as existing Ordinary Shares.

In the event that a Grant, or any part thereof, for any reason is terminated or canceled without having vested, the unvested and forfeited portion of the Restricted Stock Units relating to such Grant shall, provided the 2015 Performance Based Plan is still in force, again be available for future grant pursuant to the Time-Based Restricted Stock Units Plan or the Performance Based Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of the Performance Based Plan or the Appendix thereunder to the contrary, shares withheld or reacquired by the Company in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations with respect to a Beneficiary shall not again be available for issuance or transfer under the Performance Based Plan.

10.2 Individual Grant Limits

Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, the following limits shall apply to the grant of a Grant under the Performance Based Plan.

  1. INTERMEDIARY OPERATIONS

Subject to Article 6.9, in the event of exchange of shares without any payment in cash(soulte) resulting from a merger or split-up completed during the Vesting Period or the Holding Period (if any), the remainder of such period(s) shall apply to the rights to receive Ordinary Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units of the Company or shares of the surviving entity received by the Beneficiary in exchange for his rights to receive Ordinary Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units.

The same shall apply in the event of exchange resulting from a public tender offer, a stock split or reverse stock split completed in compliance with applicable regulations during the Holding Period (if any).

Each Beneficiary shall be informed of the practical terms of the adjustment and of its consequences on the Grant of Restricted Stock Units he or she benefited from, it being specified that the shares of the Company granted pursuant to this adjustment shall be governed by the Performance Based Plan.

The new provisions shall apply to the Beneficiaries of the Restricted Stock Units during the Vesting Period on the date of the decision to amend the Performance Based Plan made by the Board of Directors, or the written consent of the Beneficiary, if required.

13.2 Notice of the amendments

The affected Beneficiaries shall be notified of an amendment to the Performance Based Plan, by any reasonable means, including by electronic delivery, internal mail, by simple letter or, with acknowledgement of receipt, by fax or by e-mail.

  1. MISCELLANEOUS

15.1 Rights in relation to the capacity of employee

No provisions of the Performance Based Plan shall be construed as granting to the Beneficiary a right to have his or her employment agreement with the Company or any of the companies of the Group maintained, or limiting

Appendix C-15 the right of the Company or any of the companies of the Group to terminate or amend the terms and conditions of the employment agreement of the Beneficiary.

15.2 Rights in relation to future Restricted Stock Units plans and Nature of Grant

Rights in relation to future Restricted Stock Units plans. The fact that a person may benefit from the Performance Plan does not imply that he or she shall benefit from any other plan that may be implemented thereafter.

Nature of Grant. In accepting any Grant under the Performance Based Plan, the Beneficiary acknowledges that:

(a) the Performance Based Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Performance Based Plan;

(b) the grant of the Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units , even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted repeatedly in the past;

(c) all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d) Beneficiary’s participation in the Performance Based Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate Beneficiary’s employment relationship at any time with or without cause unless otherwise required under local law;

(e) Beneficiary is voluntarily participating in the Performance Based Plan;

(f) the Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of Beneficiary’s employment contract, if any;

(g) the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or the Employer;

(h) in the event that Beneficiary is not an employee of the Company, the grant will not be interpreted to form an employment agreement or relationship with the Company; and furthermore, the grant will not be interpreted to form an employment agreement with the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;

(i) the future value of the underlying Ordinary Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(j) if the Beneficiary obtains Ordinary Shares, the value of those Ordinary Shares may increase or decrease;

(k) in consideration of the grant, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the award of Restricted Stock Units or diminution in value of the award resulting from termination of the Beneficiary’s employment with the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever) and

Appendix C-16 the Beneficiary irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing the Performance Based Plan, the Beneficiary shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Beneficiary’s entitlement to pursue such claim; and

(l) unless otherwise decided by the Board of Directors, in the event of termination of Beneficiary’s employment during the Vesting Period, Beneficiary’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Performance Based Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Beneficiary is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under the local law(e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law).

15.3 Applicable law - Jurisdiction

The Performance Based Plan is subject to French law. Any dispute relating to its validity, its interpretation or its performance shall be decided by the competent courts of the French Republic.

15.4 Provisions Applicable to Beneficiaries Located outside of France

The attached Appendix applies to Beneficiaries located outside of France at the time of a relevant taxable event.

  1. DATA PRIVACY

As part of the Performance Based Plan, the Company processes some personal data of the Beneficiary. For this processing, the Company acts as the controller of this personal data and in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and, where applicable, those of Act No. 78-17 known as "Information technology & Civil Liberties", as amended, together the "Personal Data Regulation". Undefined terms used in this clause have the meaning given to them pursuant to the Personal Data Regulation.

The Company processes the Beneficiary's personal data on the legal basis of the conclusion and performance of the contract concluded at the time of the Beneficiary's acceptance of the Grant Letter. The purpose of the contract is to implement, administer and manage the Beneficiary's participation in the Performance Based Plan. Processed personal data are those strictly necessary for the aforementioned purposes. Especially, this includes the following information: the Beneficiary's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards or any other entitlement Shares awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Beneficiary's favor (the "Data"). Failure by the Beneficiary to provide certain Data could compromise the conclusion and performance of the contract concluded at the time of the Beneficiary's acceptance of the Grant Letter.

The Company may disclose the Data to the Employer, subsidiaries and affiliated companies, sub-contractors, banking and financial organizations, on a need-to-know basis. These entities may be located outside the European Union and in countries that have not been subject of an adequacy decision. If the recipients are located in other countries that do not provide an adequate level of protection for personal data, the Company will take all necessary measures and guarantees to ensure such a level and to supervise such transfers of Data in accordance with the Personal Data Regulation, in particular by implementing standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. The Beneficiary may request a copy of these guarantees by writing to the Data Protection Officer at the following address: dpo@criteo.com.

Appendix C-17

In accordance with the Personal Data Regulation, where applicable, the Beneficiary has the right to access, rectify, delete, limit processing and transfer his Data. To exercise these rights, the Beneficiary may contact the Data Protection Officer at dpo@criteo.com. The Beneficiary also has the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority and to communicate to the Company instructions for the storage, deletion and communication of its Data after its death.

In the context of this processing, the Data will not be kept for longer than necessary for the purposes referred to in this clause. In any event, the Company will comply with the retention periods imposed by law.

  1. ELECTRONIC DELIVERY

The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the 2015 Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units Plan or future awards that may be granted under the 2015 Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units Plan by electronic means or to request Beneficiary’s consent to participate in the 2015 Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units Plan by electronic means. Beneficiary hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the 2015 Performance -Based Restricted Stock Units Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

  1. SEVERABILITY

The provisions of this Performance Based Plan are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

Appendix C-18

APPENDIX

This Appendix contains additional terms and conditions that will apply to the Beneficiary if he or she resides outside of France. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the 2015 Performance Based Restricted Stock Units Plan (the "Plan").

NOTIFICATIONS

This Appendix also includes information regarding exchange control and certain other issues of which the Beneficiary should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Performance Based Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of March 2023. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. The Company therefore strongly recommends that the Beneficiary not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because such information may be outdated when the Beneficiary vests in the Restricted Stock Units and/or sells any Ordinary Shares delivered pursuant to the award.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company or the Beneficiaries’ employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Beneficiary acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Beneficiary is and remains the Beneficiary’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units grant, including the grant, vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of shares acquired pursuant to such vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Beneficiary’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

Prior to vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the Beneficiary will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Company and/or the Employer, if any. In this regard, the Beneficiary authorizes the Company and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Beneficiary from the Beneficiary’s compensation paid to the Beneficiary by the Company and/or Employer or from proceeds of the sale of shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may, (1) sell or arrange for the sale of shares underlying the vested Restricted Stock Units to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items and/or (2) withhold in shares, provided that, to the extent required under applicable accounting or tax rules, the Company only withholds the amount of shares necessary to satisfy the withholding amount and further provided that any such withholding of shares shall be subject to advance approval by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof as constituted in accordance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. Finally, the Beneficiary will pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Beneficiary’s participation in the Plan or the Beneficiary’s vesting of Restricted Stock Units that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to honor the vesting and refuse to deliver the shares underlying the vested Restricted Stock

Appendix C-19

Units if the Beneficiary fails to comply with Beneficiary’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.

For Tax Residents of the United States

Beneficiary acknowledges that both this award and any underlying Ordinary Shares are securities, the issuance or transfer of which by the Company requires compliance with federal and state securities laws.

Beneficiary acknowledges that these securities are made available to Beneficiary only on the condition that Beneficiary makes the representations contained in this section to the Company.

Beneficiary has made a reasonable investigation of the affairs of the Company sufficient to be well informed as to the rights and the value of these securities.

The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under the Plan comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan and the Grant Letters thereunder shall be interpreted and be administered to be in compliance therewith or exempt therefrom. In this regard, any payments or benefits (including vesting tranches) described in the Plan and the Grant Letters thereunder that are due within the "short-term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise and each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under the Time-Based Plan shall be treated as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the Beneficiary shall not be considered to have separated from service with the Company for purposes of the Plan and no payment or benefit shall be due to the Beneficiary under the Plan and the Grant Letters thereunder on account of a separation from service until the Beneficiary would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan and the Grant Letters thereunder, to the extent that any amounts are payable upon a separation from service and such payment would result in accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code due to the Beneficiary’s status as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, such payment, under the Plan or any other agreement of the Company, shall be made on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following such separation from service (or death, if earlier). Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required under Section 409A of the Code to make payment of an award upon a Change in Control, the applicable transaction or event defined in Article 2 and described in Article 6.9 of the Plan must qualify as a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and if it does not, then unless otherwise specified in the applicable Grant Letter, any Restricted Stock Units vested in the Beneficiary upon a Change in Control shall be delivered on their originally specified Vesting Date, in accordance with Article 9 of the Plan (or death, if earlier).

For Beneficiaries who are United States taxpayers, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 6.6 of the Plan, the shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units shall be delivered to the Beneficiary no later than 60 days following the date of the Beneficiary’s Disability; provided, that, to the extent that the Restricted Stock Units are considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, any such Disability will be within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and if it is not, any

Appendix C-20

Restricted Stock Units vested in the Beneficiary upon Disability shall be delivered on their originally specified Vesting Date, in accordance with Article 9 of the Plan (or death, if earlier).

For Beneficiaries who are United States taxpayers, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 6.7 of the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units shall be delivered no later than no later than 90 days following the date of the Beneficiary’s death, but in any event no later than December 31st of the calendar year following the year of the Beneficiary’s death to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code.

The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in the Plan and the Grant Letters thereunder will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such payment. The Grantee shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A.

The Company makes no representation as to the tax status of the Plan to the Beneficiary who should seek his or her own tax advice.

For Israeli Tax Residents

Upon grant of Restricted Stock Units, if the award is made to an employee, director or officer of an Israeli resident member of the Group (the "Approved Israeli Participants"), and is intended to qualify for beneficial tax treatment pursuant to the trustee capital gains route of Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version] 1961 ("Trustee 102 Awards", "Capital Gains Route" and "Ordinance") the following provisions shall apply. The designation of a Restricted Stock Unit as a Trustee 102 Award shall be determined by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof. Unless otherwise specifically determined, all Restricted Stock Units awards to Approved Israeli Participants are intended to be Trustee 102 Awards. The provisions below set out the terms and conditions applicable to Trustee 102 Awards granted to Approved Israeli Participants, as defined below, in order to satisfy Israeli tax requirements. If the terms are not met the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to tax pursuant to the non-trustee route of Section 102 or Section 2 or 3(i) of the Ordinance.

Trustee 102 Awards and/or any Ordinary Shares allocated or issued upon the vesting of a Trustee 102 Award and/or other Ordinary Shares received following any realization of rights under the Plan, shall be allocated or issued to the trustee appointed by the Company and/or its Israeli subsidiary pursuant to the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance (the "102 Trustee") or controlled by the 102 Trustee, for the benefit of the Approved Israeli Participants, in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance. In the event the requirements for Trustee 102 Awards are not met, the Trustee 102 Awards may be regarded as awards subject to tax pursuant to Section 102(c) of the Ordinance or as awards which are not subject to Section 102, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102.

With respect to any Trustee 102 Award, subject to the provisions of Section 102, an Approved Israeli Participant shall not sell or release from trust any Ordinary Shares received upon the grant, vesting or exercise of a Trustee 102 Award and/or any Ordinary Shares received following any realization of rights, including, without limitation, stock dividends, under the Plan at least until the lapse of the period of time required under Section 102 or any shorter period of time determined by the ITA (the “102 Holding Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such sale or release occurs during the 102 Holding Period, the sanctions under Section 102 shall apply to and shall be borne by such Approved Israeli Participant.

Appendix C-21

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the 102 Trustee shall not release or sell any Ordinary Shares allocated or issued upon the vesting of a Trustee 102 Award unless the Company, the Group and the 102 Trustee are satisfied that the full amounts of any Tax due have been paid or will be paid.

Upon receipt of any Trustee 102 Award, the Approved Israeli Participant will consent to the grant of such award under Section 102 and undertake to comply with the terms of Section 102 and the trust arrangement between the Company and the 102 Trustee.

Each Trustee 102 Award will be deemed granted on the Grant Date, provided that and subject to (i) the Approved Israeli Participant has signed all documents required by the Company or applicable law, and (ii) the Company has provided all applicable documents to the 102 Trustee in accordance with the guidelines published by the ITA such that if the guidelines are not met the 102 Award will be considered as granted under Section 102(c) of the Ordinance.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, no Trustee 102 Award or any right with respect thereto, whether fully paid or not, shall be assignable, transferable or given as collateral, and no right with respect to any such award shall be given to any third party whatsoever, and during the lifetime of the Approved Israeli Participant, each and all of such Approved Israeli Participant’s rights with respect to an award shall belong only to the Approved Israeli Participant. Any such action made, directly or indirectly, for an immediate or future validation, shall be void. As long as Restricted Stock Units and/or Ordinary Shares issued or purchased hereunder are held by the 102 Trustee on behalf of the Approved Israeli Participant, all rights of the Approved Israeli Participant over the Restricted Stock Units and Ordinary Shares cannot be transferred, assigned, pledged or mortgaged, other than by will or laws of descent and distribution.

With regard to Trustee 102 Awards, the provisions of Section 102 and any approval issued by the ITA shall be deemed an integral part of the Plan and the Grant Letter. Any provision of Section 102 and/or said approval issued by the ITA, which must be complied with in order to receive and/or to maintain any tax treatment with respect to a Trustee 102 Award, which is not expressly specified herein, shall be considered binding upon the Company and the Approved Israeli Participants. Furthermore, if any provision of the Plan disqualifies Trustee 102 Awards from the beneficial tax treatment pursuant to Section 102, such provision shall not apply to the Trustee 102 Awards.

Any tax consequences arising from the grant, vesting or sale of any Trustee 102 Award or Ordinary Shares covered thereby or from any other event or act (of the Company, and/or the Group, and the 102 Trustee or the Approved Israeli Participant), hereunder, shall be borne solely by the Approved Israeli Participant. The Company and/or the Group, and/or the 102 Trustee shall withhold tax according to the requirements of applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including withholding taxes at source. Furthermore, the Approved Israeli Participant agrees to indemnify the Company and/or the Group and/or the 102 Trustee and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such tax or interest or penalty thereon, including without limitation, liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any such tax from any payment made to the Approved Israeli Participant. The Company and/or, when applicable, the 102 Trustee shall not be required to release any Ordinary Shares to an Approved Israeli Participant until all required tax payments have been fully made.

[Beneficiary Name and Address]

[Date]

Letter delivered by electronic delivery

[Name of Beneficiary],

We have the pleasure to inform you that, pursuant to the authorization granted by the shareholders’ meeting held on June 13, 2023, the board of directors of Criteo S.A. (the“Company”), during its meeting held on[ ] (the“Grant Date”), granted to you Restricted Stock Units of the Company, under the terms and conditions provided for in Articles L. 225-197-1 to L. 225-197-5 of the French Commercial Code and in the Amended and Restated 2015 Performance Based Restricted Stock Units (the“2015 Performance Plan”). Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the 2015 Performance Plan.

The Board granted to you[ ] ordinary shares of the Company (the“Shares”), with a par value of EUR 0.025 each (the“Grant”).

There is a period (the“Vesting Period”) at the end of which the Grant will become effective and final (i.e., the Shares will be delivered to you and be your property). The Shares may be acquired by you not earlier than [ ] unless you shall cease to be an employee or officer of the Criteo group for any reason whatsoever during the Vesting Period [(subject to the following paragraph)], and subject to the attainment of the following performance goals:[ ].

[In the event (i) you cease to be an employee or officer of the Criteo group more than one year after the Grant Date but prior to the First Vesting Date, and (ii) prior to the termination of your employment or term of office, any of the Performance Targets set forth above are fully satisfied, you shall acquire, on the First Vesting Date, only those Shares that correspond to the Performance Targets that were fully satisfied prior to the termination of your employment or term of office. All other Shares will be automatically forfeited.]

In the event of Disability before the end of the Vesting Period, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest on the date of Disability. In the event of death during the Vesting Period, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest at the date of the request made by your beneficiaries in the framework of the inheritance. The request for the vesting of the Shares shall be made within six (6) months from the date of death in compliance with Article L. 225-197-3 of the French Commercial Code.

Neither the Performance-Based Plan nor this letter shall confer upon you any right to be retained in any position, as an employee, consultant or director of the Company. Further, nothing in the Performance-Based Plan or this letter shall be construed to limit the discretion of the Company to terminate your continuous service at any time, with or without cause.

By acknowledging this Grant, you hereby acknowledge and agree that any Grant pursuant to the 2015 Performance Plan shall be subject to any applicable Company clawback policy, as adopted by the Company from

Appendix C-23 time to time, as well as to any clawback required by any applicable laws, regulations or trading rules of any exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed at such time.

[To be included for the employees of the Israeli subsidiary: The Restricted Stock Units are intended to be subject to tax pursuant to the trustee capital gains route of Section 102 of the Ordinance, subject to compliance with the requirements under Section 102 and any rules or regulations thereunder, including the execution of this Grant Letter and the required declarations. However, in the event the Restricted Stock Units do not meet the requirements of Section 102, such Restricted Stock Units and the underlying Ordinary Shares shall not qualify for the favorable tax treatment under the Capital Gains Route. The Company makes no representations or guarantees that the Restricted Stock Units will qualify for favorable tax treatment and will not be liable or responsible if favorable tax treatment is not available under Section 102. The Restricted Stock Units and the Ordinary Shares issued upon vesting and/or any additional rights, as detailed above, including without limitation any right to receive any dividends or any shares received as a result of an adjustment made under the Plan, that may be granted in connection with the Restricted Stock Units (the “Additional Rights”) shall be issued to or controlled by the 102 Trustee for your benefit under the provisions of the Capital Gains Route for at least the period stated in Section 102 or any other period of time determined by the Israel Tax Authority (“ITA”). In accordance with the requirements of Section 102 and the Capital Gains Route, you shall not sell nor transfer from the 102 Trustee the Ordinary Shares or Additional Rights until the end of the 102 Holding Period. Notwithstanding the above, if any such sale or transfer occurs before the end of the 102 Holding Period, the sanctions under Section 102 shall apply and shall be borne by you. The Company and/or member of the Group and/or the 102 Trustee shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the applicable laws, the rules, and regulations, including withholding taxes at source. Furthermore, you hereby agree to indemnify the Company and/or any member of the Group and/or the 102 Trustee and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such tax or interest or penalty thereon, including without limitation, liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any such tax from any payment made to you. The Company and/or any member of the Group and/or the 102 Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, shall have the right to deduct from any payment otherwise due to you, or from proceeds of the sale of any Ordinary Shares, an amount equal to any tax required by law to be withheld with respect to such Ordinary Shares. You will pay to the Company, any member of the Group or the 102 Trustee any amount of taxes that the Company and/or any member of the Group or the Trustee may be required to withhold with respect to any Ordinary Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver any Ordinary Shares if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the taxes as described in this section. Any fees associated with any vesting, sale, transfer or any act in relation to the Restricted Stock units and the Ordinary Shares issued upon vesting, shall be borne by you. The 102 Trustee and/or the Company and/or any member of the Group shall be entitled to withhold or deduct such fees from payments otherwise due to/from the Company or any member of the Group or the 102 Trustee.

[Security Law Exemption. If required, the Company will obtain an exemption from the requirement to file a prospectus with respect to the Restricted Stock Units. If obtained copies of the Plan and Form S-8 registration statement for the Plan filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will be available free of charge upon request from your local human resources department.]

In addition to the acknowledgments noted above and in the Plan, you hereby understand, acknowledge, agree as follows: (i) you are familiar with the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance and the regulations and rules promulgated thereunder, including without limitations the provisions of the tax route applicable to your Restricted Stock Units and agree to comply with such provisions, as amended from time to time, provided that if such terms are not met, the specific tax route may not apply; (ii) you accept the provisions of the trust agreement

Appendix C-24 signed between the Company and the 102 Trustee, and agree to be bound by its terms; (iii) you acknowledge that selling the Ordinary Shares or releasing the Ordinary Shares from the control of the 102 Trustee prior to the termination of the 102 Holding Period constitutes a violation of the terms of Section 102 and agree to bear the relevant sanctions; (iv) you authorize the Company to provide the plan administrator and the 102 Trustee with any information required for the purpose of administering the Plan including executing their obligations according to Section 102 of the Ordinance, the trust deed and the trust agreement, including without limitation information about your Restricted Stock Units, Ordinary Shares, income tax rates, salary bank account, contact details and identification number and acknowledge that the information might be shared with an administrator who is located outside of Israel, where the level of protection of personal data is different than in Israel.]

The detailed terms of this Grant are described in the Performance Based Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto. The 2015 Performance Plan is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and the Restricted Stock Units granted herein shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Performance Based Plan and this Grant Letter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Grant Letter and the provisions of the Performance Based Plan, the provisions of the Performance Based Plan shall govern.

Thank you for accepting the Grant by clicking on the acceptance button directly in your Equate platform no later than 6 months from the date of notification by the Company of the availability online of the Grant documentation; the documents being deemed to be received on the date of the electronic delivery.
