Dividend policy

No dividend distribution policy has yet been established.

The annual dividend amount is set with representatives of the French government and the CEA, which together hold a majority of the group's capital. The Supervisory Board will submit a proposal to the Combined Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of April 17, 2008 to distribute a dividend of 6.77 euros per share or investment certificate for 2007, compared with 8.46 euros for the previous year.

The dividend of 6.77 euros corresponds to a distribution rate of 32.3% of 2007 consolidated net income and will be paid on June 30, 2008. The distribution rates for 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 were, respectively, 57%, 80%, 33.3% and 46% of consolidated net income for those years. These distribution rates are not an indication of the company's future dividend policy.
