Share Capital Decrease
At its meeting of April 26, 2022, the Board of Directors decided to cancel the 13.2 million treasury shares that were bought-back during the second half of 2021.

Continuation of the global Employee Share Subscription Plan
The Board of Directors decided to continue in 2022 its capital increase program reserved to employees working for Danone foreign subsidiaries or in a situation of international mobility within the Group, launched in 2019.
Under this program, eligible employees of Danone foreign entities will be able to subscribe to new shares with a 30% discount of the reference price. The subscription period is expected to occur in June 2022. The new shares issued under the 21st resolution approved during today Shareholders’ Meeting shall not exceed a nominal amount of €200,000. It is expected that the capital increase will be opened to around 83% of Danone employees worldwide, working in 48 different countries.
