DISCLAIMER

 
This press release does not constitute an offer to purchase or to subscribe the Bonds (as defined above) in the United States of America, Canada, Australia or Japan.

 
No communication or information relating to the issuance of the Bonds may be distributed to the public in a country where a registration obligation or an approval is required. No action has been or will be taken in any country where such action would be required. The offering and the subscription of the Bonds may be subject to specific legal and regulatory restrictions in certain jurisdictions; Cap Gemini accepts no liability in connection with a breach by any person of such restrictions.

 
This press release constitutes an advertisement. It does not constitute a prospectus within the meaning of the Prospectus Directive (as defined hereinafter).

In each of the various Member States of the European Economic Area other than France which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (the “Relevant Member States”), no action has been undertaken or will be undertaken to make an offer to the public of the Bonds requiring the publication of a prospectus in any Relevant Member State.

(c)           in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive.

 
For the purposes of this paragraph, (i) the notion of an “offer to the public of Bonds” in any Relevant Member State, means any communication, to individuals or legal entities, in any form and by any means, of sufficient information on the terms and conditions of the offering and on the Bonds to be offered, thereby enabling an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Bonds, as the same may be varied in the Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive, (ii) the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 4 November 2003 (and amendments thereto, including the PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented to the Relevant Member State), and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State and (iii) the expression “PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU of the European Parliament and Council dated 24 November 2010.

 
This selling restriction supplements the other selling restrictions applicable in the Member States which have implemented the Prospectus Directive.
