Following the end of the Window of Transferability:

• the allocation of the purchase and transfer orders of the Class 1 and Class 2 Warrants will be performed within seven calendar days following the end of the Window of Transferability, in accordance with the rules set out below:
  • If the transfer orders of Class 1 Warrants provide for a total number of Class 1 Warrants that is higher than the total number of Class 1 Warrants specified in all the purchase orders of Class 1 Warrants^[1], any transfer order of Class 1 Warrants will be served in proportion to the number of Class 1 Warrants to be transferred under this order, compared to the total number of Class 1 Warrants to be transferred under all of the transfer orders of Class 1 Warrants and up to the total number of Class 1 Warrants to be purchased under all of the purchase orders of Class 1 Warrants, based on the following formula:
    
    

                         Where:

• "A" refers to the number of Class 1 Warrants effectively transferred by the relevant holder,
• "B" refers to the number of Class 1 Warrants specified in the transfer order of the relevant holder,
• "C" refers to the total number of Class 1 Warrants specified in all of the transfer orders, and

• Conversely, if the purchase orders of Class 1 Warrants provide for a total number of Class 1 Warrants that is higher than the total number of Class 1 Warrants specified in all of the transfer orders of Class 1 Warrants, any purchase order of Class 1 Warrants will be served in proportion to the number of Class 1 Warrants to be purchased under this order, compared to the total number of Class 1 Warrants to be purchased under all of the purchase orders of Class 1 Warrants and up to the total number of Class 1 Warrants to be transferred under all of the transfer orders of Class 1 Warrants; it being specified that any purchase order of Class 1 Warrants which is not served, whether in whole or in part, will be served by a transfer by the company Horizon of the relevant Class 1 Warrants, within the limit of a maximum undertaking to transfer Class 1 Warrants of 20% of the number of Class 1 Warrants held by Horizon following the liquidity period for the Warrants, ended on January 4, 2016 (namely a maximum number of 2,727,588 Class 1 Warrants).
• In the event of reduction of the transfer or purchase orders of Warrants 1 in accordance with the abovementioned conditions, the number of Class 1 Warrants effectively transferred by any holder of Warrants or effectively purchased by any Eligible Manager will be rounded to the unit below for any number including one first decimal below 5 and to the unit above for any number including one first decimal equal or higher than 5.
• The same allocation rules will apply for the Class 2 Warrants, with it being specified that any purchase order of Class 2 Warrants which is not served, whether in whole or in part, will be served by a transfer by the company Horizon of the relevant Class 2 Warrants, within the limit of a maximum undertaking to transfer the Class 2 Warrants of 20% of the number of Class 2 Warrants held by Horizon following the liquidity period for the Warrants, ended on January 4, 2016 (namely a maximum number of 2,727,588 Class 2 Warrants).

• within 10 calendar days from the end of the Window of Transferability, i.e., no later than October 18, 2018:

  • the number of Class 1 and/or Class 2 Warrants effectively transferred by each holder of Warrants and purchased by each Eligible Manager will be the subject of an individual information.
• Class 1 and/or Class 2 Warrants purchased during the Window of Transferability may be held in pure or administered registered form, at the purchaser's option; as a consequence the rights of these persons will be represented by an account-entry in a securities account opened in their name in the books of:
