Viewing the materials you are seeking to access may not be lawful in certain jurisdictions. Any persons who wish to view these materials must first satisfy themselves that they are not subject to any local requirements that prohibit or restrict them from doing so.

The documents relating to the Bid (including, notably, the prospectus prepared by Modis and the annexes thereto, including the acceptance forms) (the “Bid Documentation”) are for informational purposes only and do not constitute or form a part of an offer or solicitation to acquire, purchase, subscribe for, sell or exchange any securities in the United States of America (including its territories and possessions and any State of the United States of America and the District of Columbia) or any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is unlawful or to any person to whom such an offer or solicitation could not be duly made.

The Bid is made exclusively in Belgium and in France. The Bid has not been registered or approved outside of Belgium and France and no action will be taken to register it or have it approved in another jurisdiction or to otherwise allow for a public takeover bid in another jurisdiction. The information contained in the Bid Documentation is neither to be published, released, broadcasted, disseminated or distributed, directly or indirectly, in countries other than Belgium and France, nor to be made available to residents of such countries. The holders of the AKKA shares and convertible bonds located outside of Belgium and France can only participate in the Bid if permitted by the local laws to which they are subject, without Modis having to carry out additional formalities. Participation in the Bid and the distribution of the Bid Documentation as well as of the information relating to the Bid may be subject to particular restrictions applicable in accordance with laws in effect outside Belgium and France, including, notably, registration, qualification or other requirements. The Bid will not be made to persons subject to such restrictions, whether directly or indirectly, and cannot be accepted in any way in a country in which the Bid would be subject to such restrictions. Accordingly, persons in possession of the Bid Documentation and the information relating to the Bid are required to obtain information on any applicable local restrictions and to comply therewith. Failure to comply with these restrictions could constitute a violation of applicable securities and/or stock market laws and regulations in one of these countries.

In the specific case of the United States of America, it is provided that the Bid is not being and will not be made, directly or indirectly, in or into, and is not capable of acceptance in or from, the United States of America, or by any U.S. jurisdictional means, including the use of postal services, or by any other means of communication or instrument (including by fax, telephone or email) concerning trade between States of the United States of America or between other States, or by a stock market or a trading system of the United States of America or to persons having residence in the United States of America or “U.S. persons” (as defined in and in accordance with Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended). Any acceptance of the Bid that could be assumed as resulting from a violation of these restrictions shall be deemed void. The subject of the Bid Documentation is limited to the Bid and no copy of the Bid Documentation may be sent, communicated, distributed, submitted, published, broadcasted or disseminated, directly or indirectly, in the United States of America other than in the conditions permitted by the laws and regulations in effect in the United States of America.
