Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: All of the Ordinary Shares that are held of record by the Reporting Persons as reported herein were acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons retain the right to change their investment intent, from time to time to acquire additional Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Issuer, or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Issuer, if any, beneficially owned by them, in any manner permitted by law. The Reporting Persons may engage from time to time in ordinary course transactions with financial institutions with respect to the securities described herein. Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons currently has any plans or proposals which would be related to or would result in any of the matters described in Items 4(a)-(j) of the Instructions to Schedule 13D. However, as part of the ongoing evaluation of investment and investment alternatives, the Reporting Persons may consider such matters and, subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the board of directors of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters.

Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: As of the date hereof, (i) Bpifrance Participations holds directly 8,639,886 Ordinary Shares and 17,259,364 Voting Rights, and (ii) CDC Croissance held, through CDC PME CROISSANCE, 4,550,812 Ordinary Shares and 4,550,812 Voting Rights.. As of the date hereof, none of Bpifrance, EPIC or CDC holds any Ordinary Shares directly. Bpifrance may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 8,639,886 Ordinary Shares and 17,259,364 Voting Rights, indirectly through its 99.99% ownership of Bpifrance Participations. EPIC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 8,639,886 Ordinary Shares and 17,259,364 Voting Rights, indirectly through its joint ownership and control of Bpifrance. CDC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of (x) 8,639,886 Ordinary Shares and 17,259,364 Voting Rights, indirectly through its joint ownership and control of Bpifrance, (y) 4,550,812 Ordinary Shares and 4,550,812 Voting Rights, indirectly through its ownership of CDC Croissance and (z) 708 Ordinary Shares and 708 Voting Rights, indirectly through its ownership of CNP Assurances. This Amendment is being filed to reflect a decrease in the Reporting Persons' percentage ownership of the Issuer's Ordinary Shares and Voting Rights, which resulted solely from an increase in the number of Ordinary Shares and Voting Rights outstanding since the filing of Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D and is not due to any transactions in the Ordinary Shares by the Reporting Persons. The ownership percentages are calculated based on 171,730,534 Ordinary Shares outstanding and 187,854, 877 Voting Rights as of August 31, 2025, as reported by the Issuer. The amount of outstanding Ordinary Shares and Voting Rights disclosed in the prior sentence is calculated under U.S. law, which requires treasury shares to be excluded from the calculation of outstanding shares. Under French law, treasury shares are required to be included in the calculation of outstanding shares. Using the French law requirements, the Issuer has 171,854,856 outstanding Ordinary Shares and 187,980,079 outstanding Voting Rights, and (i) Bpifrance Participations' Ordinary Share holdings represent approximately 5.0% of the Issuer's outstanding Ordinary Shares, and its Voting Rights represent approximately 9.2% of outstanding Voting Rights, and (ii) CDC Croissance's Ordinary Share holdings represent approximately 2.6% of the Issuer's outstanding Ordinary Shares, and its Voting Rights represent approximately 2.4% of outstanding Voting Rights.

Item 5(b) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: See the information contained on the cover pages of this Amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: There have been no reportable transactions with respect to the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer within the last 60 days by the Reporting Persons, or, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons referred to in Exhibit 99.2.
