each representing one ordinary share, nominal value €0.025 per share (the “Shares”) of Criteo S.A., a French société

Page 6 of 9 |
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item
3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
A total of approximately
$34 million, excluding commissions, was used to acquire our new stake of ADS compared to the previous filing of Amendment No. 6 on August
20, 2024, which amount includes proceeds related to repurchase agreements with RBC Bank. The sources of funds used to purchase the ADS
reported herein include the working capital of the investment vehicles and managed accounts that own the ADS directly,
for which Petrus serves as investment manager or portfolio adviser, the personal funds of the private individuals who have signed powers
of attorney in favor of Petrus, Mr. Hufnagel and Mr. Umek, and proceeds related to the Reporting Persons’ repurchase agreements
with RBC Bank.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5(a)-(c) of the
Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
| (a) | See rows (11) and (13) of pages 2, 3 and 4 of this Amendment
No. 7 for the aggregate number of ADS and percentage of ADS beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as of September 6, 2024. These
amounts include (i) an aggregate 2,800,000 ADS that the Reporting Persons have the right to acquire within 60 days upon exercise of long
standardized call options, (ii) 510,000 ADS that the Reporting Persons have the right to recall at any time at a price of $46.75, pursuant
to a repurchase agreement with RBC Bank that is scheduled to terminate on October 11, 2024, and (iii) 25,000 ADS that the Reporting Persons
have the right to recall at any time at a price of $0.00, pursuant to a repurchase agreement with RBC Bank that currently has no expiration
date. The aggregate percentage of ADS reported beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 55,985,114 Shares outstanding
as of July 26, 2024, as disclosed in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed by the Issuer with the Commission on August
1, 2024. |
| (b) | See rows (7) through (10) of pages 2, 3 and 4 of this Amendment
No. 7 for the ADS as to which the Reporting Persons have the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power
to dispose or direct the disposition as of September 6, 2024. Each of Petrus, Mr. Hufnagel and Mr. Umek may be deemed to share voting
power and share dispositive power over the ADS and options to acquire ADS held directly by the investment vehicles and managed accounts
for which Petrus serves as investment manager or portfolio adviser and the private individuals who have signed powers of attorney in
favor of Petrus. |
| (c) | The transactions in the ADS effected by the Reporting
Persons since the filing of Amendment No. 6 on August 20, 2024 and through September 6, 2024
are set forth on Schedule 8 attached hereto. |
