* Since the Annual General Meeting
will be held on May 25, the Company will be unable to both set the
ex-dividend date for, and to pay, the first dividend installment in May
according to the usual schedule, and has therefore resolved, in coordination
with the stock exchange and with a view to ensuring the appropriate functioning
of the market for its shares from a substantive standpoint, to pay such
installment on June 3 with an ex-dividend date on May 31 (May 28
in NY). Other than as indicated below, the ex-dividend and payment
dates for the subsequent installments are consistent with the usual
schedule.

February 18, 2011 are not trading days on the New York Stock
