Bull SA issues preferred share to the French State to protect national interests
in relation to sovereign sensitive activities carried out by Atos


Paris, France – November 8, 2024 – Further to the agreement announced on June 26, 2024
between Atos SE (“Atos”), Bull SA and the French State, Atos announces that Bull SA has issued
today a preferred share (action de préférence) for the benefit of the French State to protect
national interests in respect of certain activities carried out by the Atos Group.

The French State benefits from governance rights at the level of Bull SA, in particular rights of
representation on corporate bodies (without voting rights at this stage) and prior authorization
and approval rights (droits d’autorisation préalable et d’agrément) designed to protect sovereign
sensitive activities.

The French State also benefits from a right to purchase sovereign sensitive activities if a third-
party has acquired 10% or a multiple of 10% of Atos’ or Bull SA’s share capital or voting rights
and the parties have not reached a reasonable agreement on how to protect national interests in
relation to these sovereign sensitive activities (without prejudice to the application of the French
Foreign Direct Investment regime).
