Pursuant to the Transparency Directive, Regulated Information

market manipulation (the “Market Abuse Directive”). Such
information must be disseminated throughout the European
Community (see introduction to section “—3.1.3.1 Periodic

Inside information consists of information of a precise nature
which has not been made public that relates, directly or
indirectly, to one or more issuers of financial instruments or
to one or more financial instruments and which, if it were
made public, would be likely to have a significant effect on the
prices of those financial instruments or on the price of related
derivative financial instruments.
Inside information must be disclosed to the markets as soon as
possible. However, an issuer may under its own responsibility
delay the public disclosure of inside information so as not to
prejudice its legitimate interests provided that such omission
would not be likely to mislead the public and provided that the
issuer is able to ensure the confidentiality of that information.
Dutch Regulations
Following the implementation of the Transparency Directive
into Dutch law, the Company must publicly disclose Regulated
Information and also file Regulated Information with the AFM,
which will keep all relevant Regulated Information in a publicly

inside information pursuant to applicable mandatory law as
part of the Regulated Information, disclose and disseminate
throughout the European Community any such information.
Under Dutch law, the Company must also publish any change
in the rights attached to its shares, as well as any changes in
the rights attached to any rights issued by the Company to
acquire AirbusGroup shares.
French Regulations
Any inside information as defined above will be disclosed in
France by means of dissemination throughout the European
Community, as it is organised under Dutch law implementing
the Transparency Directive so as to provide simultaneously in
France equivalent information to that provided abroad.
German Regulations
Any inside information as defined above will be disclosed in
Germany by means of dissemination throughout the European
Community, as it is organised under Dutch law implementing
the Transparency Directive so as to provide simultaneously

its shares (“Relevant Event”). Any Relevant Event must be
notified to the CNMV simultaneously with its diffusion by any
other means, as soon as the relevant fact is known, the relevant
decision has been made or, the relevant agreement has been
executed, as the case may be. The Company may, under its
own responsibility, delay the publication of any Relevant Event
if it considers that such publication damages its legitimate
interests, provided that such lack of publication does not mislead
the public and that the Company is in a position to guarantee
the confidentiality of the relevant information. Nonetheless, the
Company will immediately inform the CNMV should it decide
to delay the publication of any Relevant Event. Furthermore,
pursuant to the Spanish Securities Act, the Company must
post details of any Relevant Event on its website. The Company
must try to ensure that the relevant information is disclosed
simultaneously to all types of investors in the Member States
of the European Union where it is listed.
