NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, AUSTRALIA OR JAPAN. THIS PRESS RELEASE IS AN ADVERTISEMENT AND NOT A PROSPECTUS WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION (EU) 2017/1129 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL OF JUNE 14, 2017 Press Release Atos SE announces the completion of the settlement and delivery of its €233 million rights issue Paris, France – December 10, 2024 - Following the announcement on December 2, 2024 by Atos SE (Euronext Paris : ATO) (the “ Company ” or “ Atos ”) of the results of its rights issue of 233 million euros (the “ Rights Issue ”), Atos announces today that it has completed the settlement and delivery of the Rights Issue and the admission of the new shares to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Paris (“ Euronext Paris ”). As a result, the Rights Issue was subscribed for a definitive total amount of €233,332,767.7659 (including issue premium), representing an issuance of 63,062,910,207 new shares (the “ New Shares ”) at a subscription price of €0.0037 per share (including, as a reminder, €0.0001 par value per share and €0.0036 issue premium), broken-down as follows: a subscription on an irreducible and reducible basis ( à titre irréductible et à titre réductible ) of 18,476,832,229 New Shares as part of the offering, for a total subscription amount of €68,364,279.2473, comprising: 15,443,618,322 New Shares subscribed on an irreducible basis ( à titre irréductible ), for a total subscription amount (including issue premium) of €57,141,387.7914; and 3,033,213,907 New Shares subscribed on a reducible basis ( à titre réductible ), for a total subscription amount (including issue premium) of €11,222,891.4559; This includes the New Shares subscribed by Philippe Salle, Chairman of the Board of Directors and future Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who subscribed, in accordance with his subscription commitment, 2,432,432,432 New Shares, representing a total amount of €9 million. a subscription of 44,586,077,978 New Shares as a result of the exercise of the backstop commitments, for a total subscription amount of €164,968,488.5186, comprising: 20,270,270,176 New Shares subscribed in cash by the participating bondholders (in proportion of their final commitment to finance the new preferred bond financings), in accordance with their subscription commitment under the first-rank subscription guarantee of the Rights Issue (the “ First-Rank Subscription Guarantee ”), corresponding to an amount (including issue premium) of approximately €75 million; and 24,315,807,802 New Shares subscribed by the participating creditors, in accordance with their subscription commitment under the second-rank subscription guarantee of the Rights Issue (the “ Second-Rank Subscription Guarantee ”), corresponding to an amount (including issue premium) of €89,968,488.8674, by equitization of an equivalent portion of the unsecured debt they held in proportion of their definitive participation in the new secured financings and the First-Rank Subscription Guarantee. The total number of New Shares issued in the context of the Rights Issue has been slightly adjusted compared to the total number of new shares mentioned in the Company’s press release of December 2, 2024, in order to take into account the existence of fractional shares in the allocation of New Shares among the participating creditors as part of the implementation of the First-Rank Subscription Guarantee and the Second-Rank Subscription Guarantee in accordance with the accelerated safeguard plan of Atos approved by the specialised Commercial Court of Nanterre on October 24, 2024 (the “ Accelerated Safeguard Plan ”). 63,062,910,207 New Shares have been issued (i.e. a reduction of 198 shares compared to the total number of 63,062,910,405 New Shares mentioned in the December 2, 2024 press release). Consequently, the final total amount (including issue premium) of the Rights Issue is €233,332,767.7659 (i.e. a reduction of €0.7326 compared to the total amount of €233,332,768.4985 mentioned in the December 2, 2024 press release). The New Shares are of the same class as the Company’s existing ordinary shares and are subject to all the provisions of the Company’s bylaws. They carry all rights attached and are entitled, as from their issue date, to all distributions decided by the Company as from that date. They are immediately assimilated with existing shares of the Company already traded on Euronext Paris and are tradable, as from this date, on the same trading line under the same ISIN code FR0000051732. Impact of the Rights Issue on the Atos’s Shareholding structure As a result of the completion of the Rights Issue, the Company’s share capital now amounts to €6,317,504.70 and is comprised of 63,175,046,985 shares with a par value of €0.0001 each. Based on public information available to date, the allocation of the share capital of the Company following the Rights Issue is set out as below: Implementation of the financial restructuring plan will result in a massive issue of new shares and a substantial dilution of Atos existing shareholders that could have a very unfavorable impact on the market price of the share As mentioned by the Company in its press release of December 2, 2024, post completion of the Rights Issue, the new shares subscribed by the creditors, as a consequence of the exercise of the backstop, represent c. 70.6% of total shares, corresponding to a substantial dilution of the existing shareholders. In light of the recent volatility on the Atos stock, it is reminded that a massive number of new shares should still be issued and the existing shareholders will suffer from a substantial dilution of their stake in the Company’s share capital as a result of the future reserved capital increases corresponding to the equitization of c. €3 billion of old debt and the exercise of the warrants, resulting in a c. 90.8% ownership by creditors. As some creditors of the Company, who have not supported or voted in favor of the Accelerated Safeguard Plan, will become holders of new shares, a significant number of shares could be traded rapidly at the moment of the completion of the financial restructuring capital increases, or such trades could be anticipated by the market, which could have an unfavorable impact on the market price of the share.

Attachment PR - Atos - Settlement and delivery of the rights issue - 10 December 2024Title: "Two Markets Close with 100 Stocks Hitting the Limit Up: Stock Market Booms with Hot Trading Activity"Sydneysiders who want to live in a suburb along the Metro line for the convenient commute will have to pay top dollar to either rent or buy. The fast-rail system stretches from Sydenham to the CBD, lower north shore, Hills district and Tallawong, with a journey from North Sydney to Barangaroo in just three minutes. Castle Hill residents can get to Martin Place in 35 minutes. But convenience comes at a premium. Bella Vista residents can get to the CBD in 41 minutes, but face a median house price of $2,477,500, while a house will set renters back around $975 per week. Waterloo’s median unit price is $925,500, and median unit rent $935, for a commute of just six minutes to Martin Place. Rents are also high at $780 for a unit in Chatswood (11 minutes to Martin Place) and $720 for Castle Hill (35 minutes). Castle Hill house buyers would pay a median of $2,312,500. Ray White agent Peter Iann said the Metro had driven greater demand for Bella Vista and that he could not limit the buyer pool to one specific region of Sydney. “We are now seeing interest from all over Sydney,” he said. “There is not enough stock for the demand and sellers now have higher price expectations.” Geoffrey Clinton, senior lecturer in transport and logistics management at the University of Sydney Business School, said that while the Metro had a significant impact on social cohesion, it was just one piece of the puzzle. “Just building train lines alone is not going to create nirvana for Sydneysiders,” he said. “In the next five to ten years we will see mini CBDs pop up. People will be living in fairly small apartments, and they’ll be more likely to dine and go out, similar to what happens in other high-density areas like Singapore.” Sydneysiders who want to live along the Metro line in suburbs such as Bella Vista, pictured, will need to pay top dollar. Credit: Nick Moir Clinton said that while people wanted to live near public transport, pricing came down to the timing of developments. “If apartments are built ahead of demand, prices may be softer. But if they’re slow to be built, then prices will be higher.” He suggested the Metro and its surrounding high-rises are part of the solution to the housing crisis, but that we also need standalone houses and townhouses. “By opening up transport opportunities, it makes it easier to develop density around these areas.” Professor of civil engineering at the University of Technology Sydney, Buddhima Indraratna, said that while he would like to see young professionals living closer to the Metro, there was a lot of wishful thinking about how much the train line could improve housing affordability. “With the high cost of living, people are living further away from the CBD because they can’t afford it. Even a two-bedroom [CBD] apartment can cost up to $3 million,” he said. “Sydney is one of the most expensive cities in the world. We might not see the advantages of the Metro yet, but they will be there for the next generation.” Marriott Lane Crows Nest agent Stephen O’Sullivan said that while the Metro has enhanced the appeal of the suburb, it hasn’t changed the buyer pool. “There’s more appetite, but the buyers tend to be locals or downsizers from the upper north shore that are seeking convenience to the CBD,” he said. O’Sullivan said buyers are limited by price. However, the Metro allows for more choice when priced out of Crows Nest, as residents of nearby St Leonards and Wollstonecraft can walk to the station. O’Sullivan said we are yet to see an uptick in prices for Crows Nest since the introduction of the Metro, as there are few homes for sale and prices are high. An extension from Sydenham to Marrickville, Lakemba and Bankstown, will open in 2025, further connecting Sydney’s suburbs. BresicWhitney Lower North Shore agent Louise Barton said buyers from the eastern suburbs have moved to North Sydney in the past few months, but not because they’re priced out. “They’re just interested to explore North Sydney, and it makes a lot of sense as you’re just over the other side of the bridge,” she said. Barton said sellers are not driving up their prices due to the Metro. “Sellers remain realistic about the market. But given how the Metro has impacted other suburbs such as North Ryde, we’ve seen prices increase over time. Sellers are excited about what it means for them.” North Ryde’s median house price rose 10.9 per cent to $2,495,000 in the year to September on Domain data.

"It is my hope this legislation will start a conversation both within and outside the government about the level of change that is needed to prioritise building homes for people over the private profit of property investors and companies," Mr Rattenbury said. The Greens have released a consultation draft of a bill that would insert the right to adequate housing into the ACT's human rights laws. "Over the long term, we hope this would start a conversation both within and outside government about what level of change is needed to prioritise people over profit. This could include greater government focus on market interventions or broader provision of publicly owned housing to boost the rental market with affordable places to live," the party said. Mr Rattenbury said the law change was a practical way to focus the government's attention on fixing the housing crisis. "For too long, politicians across the nation have treated the government's role in the housing market as providing for private profit, rather than safeguarding our community from the skyrocketing cost of finding and keeping a home," Mr Rattenbury said. Greens leader Shane Rattenbury. Picture by Karleen Minney "Now more than ever, in the middle of the most urgent housing crisis in living memory, we need to think about housing differently." A discussion paper published by the Greens said the adoption of a housing right would reframe government decisions about housing to be about social need rather than private profit. The right would not immediately require the government to provide everyone in the ACT with a home, the paper said. "Express consideration of the right to housing will provide a clearer framework to ground the government's commitment to provide services in the area of housing, in the same way it is already called upon to do for health care, education and, shortly, the environment," the paper said. The Greens' bill would insert clauses into the Human Rights Act to say, "Everyone has the right to have access to adequate housing" and "everyone is entitled to enjoy this right without discrimination". The bill would also introduce a clause that says no one can be unlawfully or arbitrarily evicted from their home or have an essential service unlawfully or arbitrarily withdrawn. The Greens said they did not believe their proposed law would result in an increase in court action against the government. Australia already had an obligation to ensure access to adequate housing under international law but this did not do enough, the Greens' discussion paper said. "The right to housing is enshrined in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), a treaty adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1966. As a party to this treaty since 1975, Australia has an obligation under Article 11 to take steps to realise the right to adequate housing. It sets out three components of an adequate standard of living: food, clothing and housing," the paper said. The paper said adequate housing had been interpreted to include adequacy, protection against forced evictions, prohibition against discrimination and the provision of emergency housing for vulnerable people. The Greens said a human right to housing had been expressly protected in Belgium, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Finland, Switzerland, India, Argentina, and Russia. "In 2008, Finland introduced a human-rights-based policy aimed at ending homelessness. It focused on placing community members in stable, long-term accommodation, rather than short-term accommodation. Today, there are almost no rough sleepers in Finland," the discussion paper said. The Legislative Assembly last term voted to adopt the right to a healthy environment in the territory's human rights laws, giving people the power to complain about failures to protect and maintain the environment in the ACT.

The controversy has reignited concerns about the effectiveness of oversight and verification mechanisms in place to prevent fraud and abuse within agricultural subsidy programs. With limited resources and personnel to conduct on-site inspections and audits of every reported harvest, there are fears that similar cases of deception may be widespread and difficult to detect.From Matchday 1 to Matchday 2, Manchester City's performances have been lackluster, to say the least. The team, known for its attacking prowess and free-flowing football, has looked disjointed and uninspired on the pitch. The 1-2 loss to FC Porto followed by a 2-2 draw with Marseille have raised serious concerns about City's ability to compete at the highest level in Europe.
