Explanation of Voting Rights Discrepancy
The difference between the number of shares comprising the capital and the theoretical number of voting rights is due to the existence of double voting rights.

Double voting rights are generally awarded to shares held in registered form for at least two years, in accordance with legal and statutory provisions.
