Louis Hachette Group: Monthly Update on Voting Rights and Share Capital

Louis Hachette Group, a French joint-stock company, provided its monthly update on voting rights and shares as of October 31, 2025. The company reported a total of 991,996,494 capital stock shares. These shares align with the number of theoretical voting rights, also totaling 991,996,494. Notably, the number of exercisable voting rights is slightly lower, at 991,537,747. This figure accounts for shares that do not carry voting rights.

The information complies with Article L 233-8 II of the French Commercial Code and Article 223-16 of the General Regulations of the French financial markets authority (A.M.F). The discrepancy in voting rights is due to treasury shares that lack voting capability, affecting how statutory and legal thresholds are calculated.
