Nel 2008 l'assemblea ordinaria TOUAX ha autorizzato l'emissione di 200.000 warrant per i dirigenti, con l'obiettivo di motivarli e allineare i loro interessi a quelli degli azionisti. I warrant conferivano loro il diritto di acquistare 200.000 nuove azioni. A causa del corso delle azioni TOUAX, questi warrant hanno perso valore e i Managing Partners della societ? hanno proposto di offrire l'opportunit? di scambiare i warrant con azioni ordinarie TOUAX in circolazione, in base a una valutazione indipendente.

Questa transazione consente di preservare la motivazione della direzione limitando il loro rischio, in cambio dell'acquisto di azioni TOUAX in circolazione al loro corso azionario attuale, evitando altres? la futura diluizione dei pacchetti azionari.

During its meeting on November 5, 2009, the Management Board decided to offer the holders of the 200,000 warrants issued February 11, 2008 the right to swap their warrants for TOUAX shares. The General Meeting of Warrant Holders held December 22, 2009 approved the terms of the transaction. The Company will repurchase the aforementioned warrants from their holders, who will then use the resulting cash to purchase TOUAX shares on the open market. On December 22 2009, the Management Board confirmed the terms for the transaction.

Following this transaction, the Management Board indicated that 89 % of the warrants issued on February 11, 2008 had been repurchased.
