PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED
IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
The documents containing the employee benefit plan
information and other information required by Part I of Form S-8 will be included in documents sent or given to participants in the Plan
as specified by Rule 428 under the Securities Act. In accordance with Rule 428 under the Securities Act and the requirements of Part I
of Form S-8, such documents are not being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
either as a part of this registration statement on Form S-8 (this “Registration Statement”) or as a prospectus
or prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act. The Registrant will maintain a file of such documents in accordance
with the provisions of Rule 428 under the Securities Act. Upon request, the Registrant will furnish to the Commission or its staff a copy
or copies of all of the documents included in such file.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents, which are on file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), are incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference:
(a) |
The Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2021, filed April 8, 2022 (Commission File No. 000-29374), (the “2021 Form 20-F”);
|
(b) |
The Registrant’s Report on Form 6-K furnished to the Commission
on August 24, 2022; and
|
(c) |
The description of the Registrant’s ordinary shares, nominal value €0.13 per share, set forth under “Memorandum and Articles of Association” in Item 10, the description of the Registrant’s American Depositary Shares set forth under “American Depositary Shares” in Item 12 of the Registrant’s 2021 Form 20-F and the description of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act in Exhibit 2.3 of the 2021 Form 20-F. |
To the extent designated therein, certain current
reports of the Registrant on Form 6-K and all documents filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c),
14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment
that indicates that all securities offered have been sold or that deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, will be deemed to
be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement
contained in any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein will be deemed to be modified or superseded for
purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which
also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded
will not be deemed, except as modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under French law, provisions in the By-laws that
limit the liability of directors and officers are ineffective. However, French law allows sociétés anonymes to contract
for and maintain liability insurance against civil liabilities incurred by any of their directors and officers involved in a third-party
action, provided that they acted in good faith and within their capacities as directors or officers of the company. Criminal liability
cannot be indemnified under French law, whether directly by the company or through liability insurance. Such rules apply to executive
and supervisory board members.
As of the date hereof, we have purchased liability
insurance for our directors and officers, including insurance against liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and this
coverage is subject to annual renegotiation. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to the Registrant’s directors, officers and controlling persons, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required
by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed
that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee”
table in the effective Registration Statement.
(iii) To include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information
in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes
that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing
on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized,
in Vaulx-en-Velin, France, on November 9, 2022.
