GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING -
ELEVENTH RESOLUTION
Authorization to be granted to the Board of Directors for allocation of five hundred thousand (500,000) stock options and taking note of the resulting capital increases.
After having heard a reading of the report of the Board of Directors and of the special report of the Statutory Auditor, the General Shareholders’ Meeting decides to authorize the Board of Directors, for a term of thirty eight months, to grant, in one or several times, in accordance with Articles L. 225-177 et seq. of the Commercial Code, for the benefit of employees of the Company or of some of them, as well as for the benefit of executive officers, as referred to in Article L. 225-185 paragraph 4 of the Commercial Code, a maximum number of five hundred thousand (500,000) options giving right to the subscription for shares of the Company to be issued as capital increase of the Company.
After having taken cognizance of the report of the Board of Directors, the General Shareholders’ Meeting decides that each option shall entitle to the subscription for one share of the Company and that the subscription price of each share by the beneficiary(ies) of the options, which shall be determined by the Board of Directors on the date when such options are granted by the Board, will be the market price for the share, in the form of ADS, on the NASDAQ, on the day preceding the date of the meeting of the Board of Directors, provided that such price shall not be less than 80% of the average of the market price for the share on the NASDAQ, in the form of ADS, during the last twenty trading days preceding the meeting. In this case, the price for the share shall be equal or superior to 80% of the average of the market price for the share on the NASDAQ, in the form of ADS, during the last twenty trading days preceding the meeting.
The price of the shares, thus determined by the Board of Directors, may not subsequently be modified during the option period. However, in accordance with Article L. 225-181 paragraph 2 of the Commercial Code, when the Company conducts a share capital redemption or a share capital reduction, a change in the profit distribution, a free allocation of shares, an incorporation of reserve,

- Translated from French -
profit, share premium to the share capital, a distribution of reserves or any issue of shares or of securities giving right to the allocation of shares with a preferential right to subscribe shares reserved to the shareholders, the Company shall take all necessary measures to protect the interests of the options beneficiaries pursuant to article L. 228-99 of the Commercial Code.
The General Shareholders’ Meeting decides that the options shall be exercised within a maximum ten-year term as from the date they were granted by the Board of Directors.
The General Shareholders’ Meeting decides to authorize the Board of Directors and to grant it all powers in order to:
  -   set the terms and conditions of grant of the options, freely determine the beneficiaries of such options, subject to the provisions of applicable laws and regulations, and, within such framework, if it considers it appropriate, set the obligation for each beneficiary to be an employee of the Company and/or of the companies referred to in Article L. 225-180-I of the Commercial Code, and/or to be an officer of the Company within the meaning of Article L. 225-185 paragraph 4 of the Commercial Code, at the time of the exercise of the options;
 
  -   set, if it considers it appropriate, a period of untransferability of the subscribed shares, in accordance with the conditions provided by applicable laws and regulations,
 
  -   set the subscription price of the shares to which the options thus granted give right, in accordance with the terms and conditions determined by the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting,
 
  -   set the exercise period(s) of the options thus granted, subject to the prohibitions and/or limitations provided by applicable laws and regulations and the by-laws in this regard, at the times that it will deem to be appropriate.
The General Shareholders’ Meeting decides to authorize the Board of Directors and to grant it all powers for the purpose of issuing a maximum of 500,000 shares with an approximate nominal value of 0.12196 euros, and accordingly, increasing the share capital in a maximum nominal amount of 60,980 euros.
The General Shareholders’ Meeting acknowledges that, in accordance with Article L. 225-178 paragraph 1 of the Commercial Code, the authorization thus granted to the Board of Directors entails, for the benefit of options beneficiaries, express waiver, by the shareholders, of the preferential right to subscribe for the shares that will be issued subsequently to the exercise of options.
The General Shareholders’ Meeting accordingly decides to authorize the Board and to grant it all powers in order to:
  (i)   Receive the subscriptions and related payments,
 
  (ii)   Deposit the funds in a bank account in accordance with the law,
 
  (iii)   Acknowledge the number of shares issued as a consequence of the exercises of the options granted, in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 225-178 paragraph 3 of the Commercial Code, to amend the by-laws accordingly and, more generally,
 
  (iv)   Take all measures necessary to implement the capital increase and complete all formalities required by law.

TWELFTH RESOLUTION
Authorization to be granted to the Board of Directors in view of allocating two hundred thousand (200,000) shares at no cost (“free shares”) and establishment of the subsequent capital increases.
The General Meeting, deliberating under the conditions of quorum and majority required for Extraordinary General Meetings, after hearing the reading of the report by the Board of Directors and the audit report by the Statutory Auditors, in application of Articles L. 225-197-1 et seq. of the Commercial Code:
  1.   authorizes the Board of Directors to proceed, in one or several times, with the free allocation of the Company’s shares, existing or to be issued, for the benefit of the employees of the Company or the companies and the economic interest groupings which are linked to it pursuant to the conditions stipulated in Article L. 225-197-2 of the Commercial Code or for the benefit of the company managers referred to in Article L. 225-197-1, II of the Commercial Code;
 
  2.   decides that the Board of Directors shall determine the identity of the beneficiaries, who can be employees or certain categories thereof of both the company and the companies which are bound to it directly or indirectly, pursuant to the conditions of Article L 225-197-2 of the Commercial Code and/or the company managers who meet the conditions of Article L 225-197-1 of the Commercial Code;
 
  3.   decides that the Board of Directors shall determine the conditions and, where appropriate, the criteria for allocation of the shares;
 
  4.   decides that the total number of shares free allocated is fixed at 200,000 shares, excluding adjustment of this number in order to take account of the operations necessary for preserving the rights of the beneficiary. In any event, the number of shares that can be allotted free of charge by the Board by virtue of the present delegation cannot exceed ten percent (10%) of the registered capital existing on the day of the first allocation;
 
  5.   decides that allocation of the shares to their beneficiaries will be definitive only on expiry of a minimum acquisition period of two (2) years and that the minimum duration of the beneficiary’s obligation of conservation at the end of the acquisition period is fixed at two (2) years, the Board of Directors having the option of extending either of the time limits. Nonetheless, the shares will be definitively allocated prior to expiry of this period in the event of disability of the beneficiary corresponding to classification in the second or third of the categories provided for in Article L 341-4 of the Social Security Code;
 
  6.   decides, in dispensation from the above, that beneficiaries who are not residents in France on the allocation date, for whom the taxable event coincides with the end of the acquisition period, will be allocated the shares definitively on expiry of a minimum acquisition period of four (4) years, except in the event of disability, as stated above. These same beneficiaries will then be bound by no period of conservation;
 
  7.   takes due cognizance that, concerning the shares to be issued, the present decision will include, at the end of the acquisition period, a capital increase through incorporation of reserves, profits or share premiums in favor of the beneficiaries of said shares and correlative renunciation by the shareholders in favor of said beneficiaries to the part of the reserves, profits or premiums thus incorporated;

7


 

- Translated from French -
  8.   fixes at thirty-eight (38) months, as from the date of the present Meeting, the duration of validity of the present authorization;
 
  9.   delegates all powers to the Board of Directors in order to implement the present authorization within the limits fixed above and thus determine the effects on the rights of the beneficiaries of the operations modifying the capital or likely to influence the value of the shares to be allotted and realized during the periods of acquisition and conservation; where appropriate, to establish the existence of sufficient reserves and proceed, at the time of each allotment, with transfer to a non-available reserves account of the sums required for paying up the new shares to be allotted; to decide on capital increase(s) through the incorporation of reserves, premiums or profits correlative to the issuance of new shares allotted free of charge; to proceed with acquisitions of the necessary shares by means of offers of sale made to all shareholders proportionally to the number of ordinary shares held by each of them; to take all useful measures for ensuring compliance with the obligation of conservation required of the beneficiaries; and, generally, to do everything, within the scope of the regulations in force, that the implementation of the present authorization will require;
 
  10.   takes due cognizance of the fact that, in the event that the Board of Directors should make use of this authorization, it shall inform the Ordinary General Meeting each year of the operations performed by virtue of the provisions stipulated in Articles L. 225-197-1 to L. 225-197-3 of the Commercial Court pursuant to the conditions stipulated by Article L. 225-197-4 of said Code.

The General Shareholders’ Meeting, voting under the quorum and majority requirements for extraordinary general meetings, after having heard a reading of the Board of Directors’ report and Statutory Auditor’s special report, acknowledging that the share capital of the Company is fully paid up, in accordance with the provisions of Articles L. 225-138 and L. 228-91 et seq. of the Commercial Code,
  1.   decides to authorize the Board to issue 150,000 warrants (BSA) for a subscription price to be paid up in cash and determined by the Board based on the evaluation of an independent expert. Such evaluation shall be the fair value of the warrants (BSA) which will be in part a function of the subscription price of the shares to be determined by the Board, in accordance with the provisions set forth in paragraph 3 below. The subscription amount of these warrants (BSA), if any, will be registered in a special reserve account labeled “issue premium” which will carry rights for all shareholders;
 
  2.   decides to cancel the preferential right of subscription attributed to the shareholders by Article L. 225-132 of the Commercial Code and to reserve the subscription of these 150,000 warrants (BSA), to the following category of beneficiaries: Directors of the Company who are not officers and/or employees of the Company, but including the Chairman

In this case, the price for the share shall be equal to 80% of the average of the market price for the share on the NASDAQ, in the form of ADS, during the last twenty trading days preceding such Board’s decision;
 
  4.   resolves that the shares thus subscribed upon exercise of the warrants (BSA) shall be fully paid up on the date of their subscription, either in cash or by offset of debt in the conditions laid down by law;
 
  5.   decides that each warrant (BSA) shall be exercised by its holder in accordance with the conditions set forth by the Board’s decision to issue the warrants (BSA), provided that such exercise shall occur within five years from the issuance date and that the holder is still a member of the Board of Directors of the Company on the day of such exercise;
 
  6.   If its holder fails to exercise the warrant in whole or in part at the expiry of the above mentioned period, the warrant (BSA) and the attached right to subscribe will lapse automatically;
 
  7.   decides that, as of, at the issuance date of the warrants (BSA), the Company will be entitled to:
  -   conduct any change in its corporate organization,
 
  -   conduct any change in its corporate purpose,
 
  -   change the allocation rule of its profits and to redeem its share capital, subject to the Company taking all the necessary measures to protect the warrants holders pursuant to Article L. 228-99 of the Commercial Code,
 
  -   issue preferred shares subject to the Company taking all the necessary measures to protect the warrants holders pursuant to Article L. 228-99 of the Commercial Code;

MANAGEMENT REPORT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
TO THE ORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS MEETING
HELD ON 15 MAY 2007
To the Shareholders
Pursuant to French law and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors has called an Ordinary SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING to present to you the report concerning the Company’s situation and business during the financial year ending on 31 December 2006 (the “Financial Year”) and to submit the annual financial statements concerning the said Financial Year for your approval.
In addition, we propose to you that you renew the terms of the directors for the coming year.
At the said Ordinary SHAREHOLDERS MEETING, you will hear a reading of the reports by the auditor.
The said reports, the management report, the annual financial statements as well as all documents relating thereto were made available to you at the registered office under the legal and regulatory conditions.
The annual financial statements presented to you have been established in accordance with the French accounting laws, principles and methods.
You will kindly note that the accounting methods used in established the said annual financial statements are the same as the ones used for the previous financial years.
I. The Company’s activity
The financial year ending on 31/12/2006 represents a key year for FLAMEL, more particularly marked by the marketing authorization granted by the FDA for the CoregCR product, developed in partnership with GlaxoSmithKline (“GSK”), and which will be marketed by GSK before the end of the first quarter of 2007.
Finalization of this project required construction of a new production unit at our Pessac site, making it possible to start manufacture of the commercial batches in 2006. Our Pessac site was successfully audited and approved by the FDA.

 


 

- Translated from French -
This project marks a noteworthy and very positive advance for our company, which is going to be able to base its development, both in terms of research and development and in terms of “business development”, on this success.
To deal with the forecasts for increased production at the site, Flamel has started work on extending its “Micropump® pilot”. GlaxoSmithKline has committed itself to financing the project to the extent of 5.5 million euros, in exchange for exclusive use of the pilot after completion of the work for a period of three years.
Moreover, the company continued to develop its two technological platforms, Micropump® and Medusa®, throughout the year 2006, particularly with the development of a single polymer for Medusa® and its application to the Basulin® project.
II. Results of the financial year activity
The following results have been established in accordance with the French accounting standards.
1. Operating profit
The operating revenues for the 2006 financial year come to 20.6 million euros, compared with 17.5 million euros in 2005. The 2006 revenues include 1.6 million euros in sales of products, 16.4 million euros in revenue from licenses and research, and 0.5 million euros in royalties.
The salaries and social charges, representing 39% of the operating charges, rose by 21.8 in 2006 to 17.7 million euros, compared with 14.5 million euros in 2005. This increase is mainly due to the increase in the number of employees, particularly in connection with development of the production activity in Pessac for GSK and the CoregCR project (302 employees on 31/12/2006 against 254 employees on 31/12/2005).
The operating charges are down by comparison with 2005 following the decline of the expenditures relating to the clinical studies following the complete review of the research projects during the financial year. This reduction of expenditures was partly offset by the increased payroll charges resulting from a marked staff increase, at the Pessac site, for production of CoregCR.
The financial net income, standing at 1.2 million euros in 2006, comes mainly from financial revenue generated by investing our available cash.
The loss before taxes and extraordinary earnings in 2006 came to 22.5 million euros, compared with a loss of 27.8 million euros in 2005.
In view of an extraordinary profit of 3.5 million euros and of a research tax credit amounting to 1.7 million euros, the net loss for the financial year comes to 17,259,532 euros, compared with a net loss of 20,705,494 euros for the previous financial year.

- Translated from French -
2. Balance sheet
     Assets
Total assets come to 90.7 million euros, including 21.7 million euros in fixed assets and 68 million euros in current assets.
Accounts receivable at the end of the financial year stood at 4.2 million euros.
The short-term investment securities come to 47 million euros at the end of 2006, including investment funds invested on the money market and time deposits, to be compared with 70.1 million euros at end-2005.
     Liabilities
The net worth, taking the 2006 losses into account, comes to 72.5 million euros.
The rest of the liabilities come to 18.2 million euros, including 7.2 million euros in accounts payable, 2.1 million euros in repayable advances from the French administration, and 4.7 million euros in social and taxation liabilities.
3. Investments made
The physical investments made during the financial year come to 13.3 million euros, and went mainly into research and development activities and development in Pessac of a production unit for GSK’s COREG project.
4. Financing
The Company did not make any external financing transactions during the 2006 financial year.
No important events having a material effect on the annual financial statements for 2006 occurred between 1 January 2007 and the date of the present management report.
Nevertheless, we remind you that your Board of Directors recorded the capital increase following exercise of 257 000 options and the subscription to 27,000 equity warrants for an amount of 34,636,64 , increasing the share capital to 2,925,755 .
The financial statements is subject to approval by the SHAREHOLDERS MEETING. (first resolution)
III. Progress Made – Difficulties Encountered
The company made considerable progress in 2006, and the most important points were as follows:
    The registration of CoregCR, and the audit and approval of our Pessac site by the FDA.

- Translated from French -
    FLAMEL modified its strategy in connection with its Medusa® platform along the lines of simplification and rationalization with development of a single polymer applicable to all current and future developments.
 
    Several feasibility studies in connection with both Micropump® and Medusa® were launched with various partners, which could wind up in some new partnerships in the future.
 
    The development of our polymer technologies for application to Medusa®
IV. Appropriation of the Earnings
The financial statements presented to you show that the net income for the financial year is a loss of 17,259,532 euros.
We propose to you to appropriate this entire loss of 17,0259,532 to the retained earnings account, which, following that appropriation, will amount to 74,505,317 euros (second resolution).
V. Purchases of its own shares made by the Company
None.
VI. Dividends paid for the last three financial year and the corresponding Tax Credit
We inform you, pursuant to Article 243 bis of the General Taxation Code, that no dividends were distributed during the last three financial years.
VII. Non deductible charges
During the financial year the company recorded 17,145 euros in excess depreciation that is not tax-deductible.
In the 2006 financial year the company also incurred 424,653 euros in Directors attendance fees that are not tax deductible.
VIII. Important events occurring between the end of the financial year and the date of the present report
In December 2006, Flamel filed suit against Mr Gérard SOULA, its previous President and Chief Executive Officer, who was served with a writ in 2007.
We believe that Flamel has a very good chance of winning its case in connection with this dispute, and if that does not occur, we do not think that the consequences would have a significant impact on the company.
We also inform you that the CoregCR product was officially launched at the end of the first quarter of 2007.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT ON THE CONDITIONS FOR PREPARATION AND
ORGANIZATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE INTERNAL
CONTROL POLICIES
PRESENTED TO
THE COMBINED SHAREHOLDERS MEETING
HELD ON 15 MAY 2007
Gentlemen
Please find below a description of the conditions regarding preparation and organization of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) (I) and the internal control procedures installed by the Company (II).
I. Conditions regarding preparation and organization of the Board of Directors
As of 31 December 2006, 99.42% of the Company’s share capital was deposited in the Bank of New York, the ADR relating thereto being held by the public on the American market. 0.58% of the share capital is held by various individuals, including 0.11% by the company’s employees.
The Board consists of 6 members, each appointed for one year.
The main characteristics expected in a Board member are (i) desire to develop thorough knowledge of the Company’s activity and strategy and take part in its development, (ii) judgement of the Company’s business environment, (iii) his ability to work with others, (iv) courage in expressing a contrary opinion, (v) sense of responsibility, (vi) and integrity.
A. Conditions regarding preparation of the Board of Directors’ work
The Board’s activities are directed by the Chairman of the Board.


 

- Translated from French -
The Chairman of the Board:
  approves the documents prepared by the Company’s internal departments;
 
  organizes and directs the Board’s work;
 
  ensures that the directors are able to carry out their duties;
 
  ensures that they receive the information and documents needed for carrying out their duties; and
 
  ensures that the representatives of the Works Council are called on and that they receive all information and documents required for performance of their duties.
B. Conditions regarding the organization of the Board of Directors’ work
The Chairman organizes the Board’s activities. The Board meets at least once a year to close out the financial statements, and whenever necessary depending on developments in the Company’s activity.
In 2006, the Board met 7 times in response to notices issued by the Chairman.
The attendance rate was 100% in 2006, except for three Board meetings where one member (a different one each time) was absent. All meetings of the Board of Directors were chaired by the Board Chairman.
The two representatives of the Works Council attended all of the Board meetings except for two at which only one was present.
The minutes concerning each Board meeting are submitted for approval by the Board members by the Chairman. The minutes are entered in the Company’s register, after signature by the Chairman, one director and the secretary.
At the time of each Board meeting, the directors receive all documents required for performance of their duties. In the intervals between Board meetings, the directors regularly receive any significant information concerning the Company.
II. Internal control procedures
The Company has established committees and instituted procedures making it possible to audit compensation, preparation and certification of the financial statements, information for the public, and the ethics of the executives and financial senior managers of the Company. A project was instituted in 2005 to meet the obligations laid down under Article 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, and at the end thereof, initially scheduled for late 2006, The company Flamel was in compliance with all provisions of the said law, even though the said expiration date was deferred solely for certification by the auditors to the 2007 financial year. The management certification will be incorporated without any exceptions into the documents filed with the SEC. The Audit Committee was kept informed of progress made in the project at each meeting by the CFO, who handled the project.

A. Compensation Committee
A Compensation Committee was appointed by the Board with the assignment of advising, recommending and monitoring the staff’s optional profit-sharing plans and the plans for employee shareholding determined by the Board, and to help the Board meet its responsibilities relative to the compensation of (i) the Company’s Managing Director (“DG”), (ii) the Assistant Managing Directors, if any, and (iii) the other Management executives (CFO and COO). The responsibilities granted or delegated to the Compensation Committee in the said Charter are granted in all cases subject to the powers reserved under French law to the Managing Director, the Board and the Shareholders’ meeting. The Compensation Committee is authorized to request any required exception to the applicable US financial laws and regulations, and the NASD rules and regulations, as seems proper to it in the light of the foregoing. Insofar as is required by the applicable US financial laws and regulations and the NASD rules and regulations, any exception as well as any lack of compliance will be reported once a year in the Company’s annual report (form 20-F).
The rules governing this Committee were reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee meeting held in 2006.
B. Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board to handle, on the basis of a delegation from the President and Chief Executive Officer, as required under French law, the designation, compensation and supervision of the work done by any accounting firm used by the Company, with the exception of the auditors, and to help the Board in its supervision of the following: (1) the integrity of the Company’s annual financial statements; (2) the adequacy of the Company’s internal control system; (3) the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory standards; (4) the auditors’ qualifications and independence; and (5) execution by the external and internal accounting departments employed by the Company of their functions.

The responsibilities granted or delegated to the Audit Committee in the said Charter are granted in all cases subject to the powers reserved under French law to the Managing Director, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Board and the Shareholders’ meeting.

C. Procedure regarding Advance Approval of the Auditor’s Services
The Audit Committee has established rules concerning the appointment of the Company’s Auditor for supplying the Company with services. These rules are valid for the auditing services as well as for other services. The said rules were reviewed in 2006 and are established as follows:
For the auditing services (including the commitments regarding statutory auditing imposed by local law in the country), the auditor must supply the Audit Committee with a commitment letter during the financial year summing up the scope of the auditing services that it plans to perform during the financial year. The said letter, including the budget, must be accepted by the Audit Committee. All other auditing services are also approved in advance pursuant to a procedure established by the Audit Committee.
For services other than those relating to control and auditing, the Company’s general management, prior to a commitment, must submit, for the approval of the Audit Committee, the list of the other services that it advises the Audit Committee to request the Auditors to supply during the financial year. The said advance approval procedure as for the auditing services has been instituted. The Company’s general management and the Auditor must each provide the Audit Committee with confirmation that each service appearing in the said list is allowed under all of the applicable legal standards. A list of the prohibited services was established and approved by the Audit Committee in 2005, and remains valid for the 2006 financial year.
D. Alert procedures in connection with doubtful accounting and auditing practices
The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has installed procedures to facilitate alerts by the employees concerning any information relative to doubtful accounting or auditing practices.
The said procedures include the alert means available to the employees for reporting doubtful accounting practices, consideration of such alerts and the inquiry to be conducted, if any, in that connection. The said procedures were reviewed in 2006 and are established in accordance with the CNIL recommendations.
E. Disclosure Committee
The Disclosure Committee helps the Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer or similar persons (the “Senior Executives”) meet their responsibility to supervise the accuracy and observance of the deadlines concerning the information supplied by the Company, by handling the following tasks:
    Design and establish checks and other procedures within the Company in order to ensure that the information which the Company must supply in the report that it files or submits in connection with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are recorded, handled, summed up and presented within the periods laid down in the rules and the forms, and that the said

- Translated from French -
      information is collected and communicated to management, including to the Senior Executives, in such a way as to make appropriate decisions possible in connection with the information obligation (“Information Checks”).
 
    Monitor the integrity and effectiveness of the Company’s Information Checks
 
    Examine and direct preparation of the Company’s annual report in form 20-F, the quarterly reports in form 6-K, any modifications made therein, and any other report or public information that the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee asks the Committee to consider and direct.
 
    Evaluate the effectiveness of the Information Checks at the end of the period concerned by the Company’s annual report in form 20-F and each quarterly report in form 6-K (collectively the “period reports”).
 
    Discuss, with the Senior Executives, any relevant information concerning the Committee’s work, preparation of the information reports, and evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s Information Checks by the Committee.
 
    Supply an attestation to Senior Executives prior to the filing with the SEC of each periodic report relative to (i) the Committee’s compliance with its rules and procedures and the proper performance of the responsibilities assigned to it, and (ii) the conclusions of the Committee resulting from its evaluation of the effectiveness of the Information Checks.
F. Code of Ethics for the Managing Director, the Assistant Managing Directors and the executives of the Financial Department

The Managing Director, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Accounting Officer or Controller or persons performing similar duties (collectively the “financial department executives”) are bound by the provisions listed therein and which relate to moral conduct, conflicts of interest and compliance with law.

REPORT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO THE COMBINED SHAREHOLDERS’
MEETING HELD ON 15 MAY 2007
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have called you to meet in the form of a SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING in order to submit the following questions to you for your approval as extraordinary matters:
  1.   a project for installation of a new stock option plan bearing on five hundred thousand (500,000) shares,
 
  2.   a project for installation of a new plan for a free allocation of shares bearing on two hundred thousand (200,000) shares,
 
  3.   a project for issue of a total of one hundred and fifty thousand (150,000) securities offering access to the capital, taking the form of autonomous stock warrants (BSA) reserved for the company’s directors who are neither authorized agents nor employees of the company, but including the Chairman of the Board of Directors,
 
  4.   a project for a capital increase reserved for the employees.
Before informing you of the details about these operations, we would like to remind you that the 2006 financial year, thanks to the extraordinary work done by the Flamel teams, made it possible in particular to obtain the marketing authorization, granted by the FDA to our GlaxoSmithKline partner, for the CoregCR product.
You will find all information relative to the events and to the figures for the financial year ending on 31/12/2006 in your Board’s management report.
1. Project for installation of a new stock option plan bearing on five hundred thousand (500 000) shares (Eleventh resolution)
To enable the Company to attract and/or keep talented senior managers and employees, and insofar as the number of stock options that your Board was authorized to allocate in connection with the previous plans is almost exhausted, we propose to you to delegate an option to the Board of Directors, for a duration of thirty-eight months, to grant, all at once or in instalments, pursuant to Articles L. 225-177 et seq. of the Code of Commerce, to the benefit of the Company’s employees or some such employees, as well as to the benefit of the senior authorized agents, as mentioned in Article L. 225-185 paragraph 4 of the Code of Commerce, a maximum of five hundred thousand (500,000) options granting a right to subscription to the Company’s shares to be issued as a capital increase of the Company.

 


 

- Translated from French -
Each option could create a right to subscription to one Company share, the subscription price of which, for the beneficiaries of the options, could be determined by the Board of Directors on the day on which it grants the options.
We remind you in this connection that the Company’s securities, even though listed in the form of ADS (American Depositary Shares) on the NASDAQ, are all the same, in the light of French law, considered as listed for trading on a regulated market. Hence the subscription price for each share must be determined in accordance with the objective methods adopted in connection with valuation of the shares, as provided for in Article L. 225-177, paragraph 4 of the Code of Commerce, on the basis of appropriate weighting of the network, of the profitability and of the activity prospects of the business.
It appears in this connection that the most objective valuation method and that most appropriate to the Company’s case is its trading price on the NASDAQ. The fact is that the price of the share, if calculated as a function of its mathematical value and/or of the net worth, the profitability and the prospects of the Company’s activity, even if weighted, could result, in the light of the history of the share price, in the form of ADS, on the NASDAQ, in a valuation substantially below the actual economic value of the share, the trading price of which on the NASDAQ remains the most objective valuation method.
Hence we propose to you that the price of the share to which each option would create a right could be valued by the Board of Directors in accordance with the trading price of the share, in the form of ADS on the NASDAQ, on the day prior to the date of the meeting of the Board of Directors, but only condition that the said price is no less than 80% of the average trading price of the share on the NASDAQ, in the form of ADS, during the last twenty trading sessions prior to the said meeting. In such a case, the price of the share should be equal to or greater than 80% of the average trading price of the share on the NASDAQ, in the form of ADS, during the last twenty sessions preceding the said meeting. The said minimum price is the one applicable to companies whose securities are listed for trading on a regulated market.
As provided for by law, the price of the shares, determined in this way by the Board of Directors, could not then be modified for the entire duration of the option, unless, pursuant to Article L. 225-181, paragraph 2, of the Code of Commerce, when the Company carries out a redemption or reduction of the capital, a modification of the distribution of profits, a free allocation of shares, an incorporation into the capital of reserves, profits or premiums on shares, a distribution of reserves or any issue of capital securities or of other securities creating a right to allocation of capital securities including an application right reserved for the shareholders, it will have to take the steps required for protection of the interests of the beneficiaries of the options under the conditions laid down in Article L. 228-99 of the Code of Commerce.
The options should be exercised within a maximum period of 10 years starting from the date of their award to the beneficiaries by the Board of Directors.
Hence we propose to you that you should authorize the Board of Directors and entrust it with full powers for the following purposes:
  -   determine the conditions and procedures for allocation of the options, freely determine the beneficiaries of the said options subject to the legal and regulatory provisions and, in that connection, lay down, if it considers this appropriate, an obligation for each beneficiary to be a paid employee of the Company and/or the companies mentioned in Article L. 225-180 – I of the Code of Commerce, and/or being a senior manager of the Company in the meaning of Article L. 225-185, paragraph 4, of the Code of Commerce, at the time of exercise of the options,
 
  -   determine, if it considers this appropriate, a period of non-transferability of the shares acquired, under the conditions laid down in law and in the rules and regulations in effect,


 

- Translated from French -
  -   determine the subscription price of the shares to which the options as granted in this way create a right, under the conditions and pursuant to the procedures laid by the Extraordinary SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING, and,
 
  -   determine the period or periods for exercise of the options granted in this way, subject to the prohibitions and/or limitations provided for by law and in the rules and regulations in effect and by the Articles of incorporation in this connection, at the times it considers appropriate.
As a result of the foregoing authorization, we also propose to you that you should authorize the Board of Directors and grant it full powers for the purposes of issuing a maximum of 500,000 shares with a par value of about 0.12196 euros, and hence to increase the capital by a maximum nominal amount of 60,980 euros.
Pursuant to Article L. 225-178, paragraph 1, of the Code of Commerce, the authorization that would be granted in this way to the Board of Directors would include, to the benefit of the beneficiaries of the options, an explicit waiver by the shareholders of their preferential right to subscribe to the shares to be issued as the options are exercised.
Finally, we propose that you should authorize the Board and fully empower to do the following:
  (i)   Receive the applications and the corresponding payments,
 
  (ii)   Deposit the funds in a bank account pursuant to law,
 
  (iii)   Record the number of shares issued as a result of the exercises of the options granted, pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-178, paragraph 3, of the Code of Commerce, and to modify the Articles of incorporation as a result, and more generally
 
  (iv)   To take any appropriate steps to put through the capital increase and to carry out all formalities required by law.
2. A project for installation of a new plan for a free allocation of shares to the benefit of the members of the salaried staff and/or of certain authorized agents (Article L.225-197-1 of the Code of Commerce) (Twelfth resolution)
We propose that you should delegate the option to the Board of Directors, for a duration of 38 months, to proceed, within the framework of Article L.225-197-1 of the Code of Commerce, with a free allocation of new shares resulting from a capital increase by incorporation of reserves, premiums on shares or profits.
The beneficiaries of the said allocations could be:
  -   The members of the salaried staff or certain categories among them, both of the Company and of the companies connected with it directly or indirectly, under the conditions Article L 225-197-2 of the Code of Commerce;
 
  -   The authorized agents meeting the conditions set forth in Article L 225-197-1 of the Code of Commerce.
The number of shares that could be allocated free by the Board under the present delegation could not exceed 10% of the share capital existing on the day of the first allocation.
We propose that you authorize the Board of Directors to allocate, without charge, two hundred thousand (200,000) shares at the most.
The allocation of the shares to the beneficiaries will be definitive only at the end of an acquisition period having a minimum duration of two (2) years starting with the Board’s decision to allocate the shares. However, the shares will be definitively allocated before the end


 

- Translated from French -
of the said period in case of disability of the beneficiary corresponding to classification in the second or the third of the categories provided for in Article L341-4 of the Social Security Code.
Furthermore, the beneficiaries shall have to keep the shares allocated for a minimum duration of two years starting with the time of their definitive allocation. As an exception, the shares allocated shall be freely transferable in case of a request for award filed by the heirs of a deceased beneficiary or in case of disability of the beneficiary corresponding to their classification in the above-mentioned categories of the Social Security Code.
As a departure from the foregoing, the beneficiaries who are not French residents on the date of allocation for whom the generating fact of taxation coincides with the end of the period of acquisition shall definitively receive the shares at the end of a minimum acquisition period of four years, except in case of disability, as mentioned above. Those same beneficiaries shall not then be required to observe any period for keeping the shares.
The Board of Directors shall have the option of increasing the duration of the said minimum acquisition and preservation periods.
Within the limits set above, the Board shall hold full powers for determine the conditions and, if the case arises, the criteria for allocation of the shares, determine the identity of the beneficiaries of the free allocations from among the persons complying with the conditions set above, as well as the number of shares due to each of them, determine the effects on the beneficiaries’ rights of the operations modifying the capital or which might influence the value of the shares to be allocated and carried out during the periods of acquisition and of preservation, if the case arises, record the existence of sufficient reserves and carry out, at the time of each allocation, the transfer to an account of frozen reserves of the amounts required for paying up the new shares to be awarded, decide on the capital increase or increases by incorporation of reserves, premiums on shares or profits, related to the issue of the new shares allocated without charge, carry out the required acquisitions of shares by means of sale offers made to all shareholders in proportion to the number of ordinary shares held by each of them, take all useful steps to guarantee respect for the preservation obligation incumbent on the beneficiaries, and generally do, within the framework of the rules and regulations in effect, everything made necessary by implementation of the present authorization.
The present authorization shall entail, by right, a waiver by the shareholders of their preferential application right to the new shares issued by incorporation of reserves, premiums on shares and profits.
3. Project for issue of a total of one hundred and fifty thousand (150 000) Autonomous Stock warrants (BSA) reserved for the category of persons consisting of the company’s directors who are neither authorized agents nor employees of the company, but including the Chairman of the Board of Directors (Thirteenth resolution)
During the present meeting, we will put a proposal to you for renewing the mandates of Messrs. Elie Vannier (Chairman of the Board of Directors), Cor Boonstra, Frédéric Lemoine, John L. Vogelstein, Stephen H Willard and Lodewijk J. R. De Vink.
The Company believes the profit-sharing in the form of shares is the most effective way of having the interests of the directors and of the employees converge, and of keeping key staff.
Hence, and in the light of their important contribution to Company management, we propose to you to authorize issue of a maximum of one hundred and fifty thousand (150,000) stock warrants (BSA) in the same form as the ones used previously to interest the directors.
In order to give the Board the greatest possible flexibility, we propose that you authorize the Board to use the said authorization for a period of eighteen months, and to delegate the powers to the Board for determining the beneficiaries of the stock warrants (BSA) and the subscription price of the said stock warrants (BSA) in the light of their fair value.


 

- Translated from French -
This decision to issue stock warrants (BSA) presupposes, if you decide to adopt it, elimination of the shareholders’ preferential application rights to the stock warrants (BSA), in order to reserve subscription thereto for their beneficiaries.
We inform you that with respect to the said one hundred and fifty thousand (150,000) stock warrants (BSA), you will have to suppress the shareholders’ preferential application right appearing in Article L. 225-132 of the Code of Commerce, and reserve applications for a category of persons consisting of the Company’s directors who are neither authorized agents nor Company employees, but including the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
We propose to you that you authorize the Board of Directors to issue a maximum of one hundred and fifty thousand (150,000) stock warrants (BSA) for a subscription price having to be paid up in full at the time of subscription by cash payments, and set by the Board of Directors on the basis of a valuation made by an independent expert. The said valuation shall have to correspond to the fair value of the stock warrants (BSA), and in particular shall include the subscription price of the shares as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the provisions in the following paragraph.
We propose to you to decide that an stock warrant (BSA) shall give its holder, subject to the terms and conditions defined below and by the decision of the Board of Directors relative to the issue of the stock warrants (BSA), the right to subscribe to one (1) Company share, at a subscription price to be determined by the Board of Directors with reference to the trading price of the share, in the form of ADS, on the NASDAQ, at the close of that market on the day preceding the decision by the Board of Directors relative to the issue of the stock warrants, but only as long as the said price is no less than 80% of the average trading prices of the share on the NASDAQ, in the form of ADS, during the last twenty trading sessions prior to the said decision; in that case, the price of the share shall have to be equal to 80% of the average trading prices of the share on the NASDAQ, in the form of ADS, during the last twenty sessions preceding the decision by the Board of Directors relative to issue of the stock warrants.
We propose that you decide that each stock warrant (BSA) may be exercised by its holder subject to the terms and conditions defined below and decided on by a decision made by the Board on the occasion of the issue of the stock warrants (BSA), and at the latest within five (5) years following their issue, and only as long as the said holder is a member of the Board of Directors on the day of the said exercise.
We propose that you decide that starting with the time of issue of the stock warrants (BSA), the Company shall be entitled to do the following:
  -   modify its form,
 
  -   modify its business purpose,
 
  -   modify the rules regarding the distribution of its profits, redeem its capital, subject to taking the steps required for maintaining the rights of the holders of the stock warrants (BSA) under the conditions laid down in Article L. 228-99 of the Code commerce,
 
  -   create preferred shares, subject to taking the steps required for maintaining the rights of the holders of the stock warrants (BSA) under the conditions laid down in Article L. 228-99 of the Code of Commerce.
We propose that you decide that if the Company decides to issue securities including a preferential application right for the shareholders, to increase its capital by incorporation of reserves, profits or premiums on shares, or to distributes reserves in cash or in portfolio securities, or decides to modify the distribution of its profits by issuing preferred shares, the Company shall take the required steps for maintaining the rights of the holders of stock warrants (BSA) under the conditions defined in Article L. 228-99 of the Code of Commerce.


 

- Translated from French -
We propose that you decide that in case of a reduction of its capital, whether or not that is due to losses, and carried out by reducing the par value or the number of securities constituting the capital, the rights of the holders of the stock warrants (BSA) shall be reduced as a result, as if they had exercised them before the date on which the capital reduction has become final.
We propose that you take note, pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 228-103 et seq. of the Code of Commerce, that the holders of the stock warrants (BSA) are grouped by right, for defence of their common interests, into a whole enjoying legal personality. The general meetings of the holders of the stock warrants (BSA) are called to authorize any modification of the issue contract and to rule on any decision affecting the conditions regarding subscription to or allocation of capital securities determined at the time of the issue. Each stock warrants (BSA) creates a right to one vote. The quorum and majority conditions are the ones established in the second and third paragraphs of Article L. 225-96 of the Code of Commerce. The meeting expenses as well as, in a general way, all expenses relating to the functioning of the whole are for the Company’s account.
We propose that you decide on issue of a maximum number of 150,000 Company shares with a par value of 0.12196 euros each, to which exercise of the stock warrants (BSA) issued will create a right, namely a capital increase in a maximum nominal amount of 18,294 euros, to which one must add, if the case arises, a number of additional shares to be issued to safeguard the rights of the holders of the stock warrants (BSA) under the conditions defined in Article L. 228-99 of the Code of Commerce.
We propose that you decide that the new shares delivered to the subscriber at the time of exercise of its stock warrants (BSA) shall be subject to all of the provisions of the Articles of incorporation, and shall bear dividend rights as of the time of their issue.
We propose that you set the duration of validity of the present authorization at eighteen (18) months, starting with the date of the present meeting.
We propose that you take note, pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-138 of the Code of Commerce, of the fact that the issue of the stock warrants (BSA) shall have to be carried out within a period of eighteen (18) months, starting with the date of the present meeting
Finally, we propose that you decide to grant full powers to the Board of Directors to implement the present authorization, pursuant to the provisions and within the limits to be laid down in your resolution, and in particular for the following purposes:
  -   issue the stock warrants (BSA) and determine their subscription price,
 
  -   close out the list of the beneficiaries within the defined category of persons,
 
  -   determine the subscription price of the shares to be issued upon exercise of the stock warrants (BSA), subject to the terms and conditions laid down in your (?) resolution, the opening and closing dates of the subscriptions, and the definitive conditions of the said issue, and enter the premium on shares, if any,
 
  -   order early closing of the subscription or extend it, depending on the case,
 
  -   gather the subscriptions to the stock warrants (BSA) and the payments relating thereto,
 
  -   record the number of shares issued due to exercise of the stock warrants (BSA), carry out the formalities resulting from the corresponding capital increases and make the related modifications of the Articles of incorporation,

4. Proposal to authorize the Board to increase the share capital by issue of shares reserved for the employees (fourteenth resolution)
Pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-126-6 of the Code of Commerce and of Article L. 443-5 of the Labour Code, we remind you that the shareholders must make a decision on a draft resolution aimed at carrying out a capital increase under the conditions laid down in Article L. 443-5 of the Labour Code (reserved, directly or through the intermediary of a company investment fund, for the members of a company savings plan, even in the absence of such a plan within the Company), on the occasion of each capital increase by cash conveyance that is proposed to them.
As a result of the operations regarding a capital increase listed above, we therefore invite you to make a decision on the proposed capital increase reserved for the Company’s employees (fourteenth resolution).
Such a resolution implies the suppression of the preferential application right granted to the shareholders, to the holders of stock warrants and to any other holder of securities offering access to the Company’s capital, pursuant to the applicable legal and regulatory provisions.
In order to comply with this legal requirement, we are submitting for your approval a draft resolution authorizing the Board of Directors and delegating to it, for a period of twenty-six months, the powers required for increase in the share capital, in a nominal amount equal at most to 1% of the share capital on the date of the present meeting, to set the issue price under the conditions laid down in the provisions of Article L. 443-5 of the Labour Code, subject to supervision by the Auditor, and to determine the number of shares allocated to each beneficiary pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-138 of the Code of Commerce.
We draw your attention to the fact that the Company does not have a company savings plan.
Furthermore, the Board of Directors considers that the present authorization is unnecessary in view of the Company’s situation. Hence we invite you to vote against this resolution.
Powers for formalities (fifteenth resolution)
The fifteenth resolution is a usual one granting the required powers for carrying out the notice and other formalities to be required in the light of the nature of the present combined SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING of an ordinary and extraordinary nature.
* *
In the light of the draft resolutions subject to the jurisdiction of the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting (first to the tenth resolutions), which you will find described in the management report submitted by your Board of Directors, we advise the shareholders to vote in favour of these resolutions.
Furthermore, and in the light of the draft resolutions subject to the jurisdiction of the Extraordinary SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING (eleventh to the fifteenth resolutions), we advise the shareholders to vote in favour of the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth resolutions, and to vote against the fourteenth resolution.
The Board of Directors

VOTE PAR CORRESPONDANCE
  POUVOIR AU PRESIDENT DE L’ASSEMBLEE GENERALE OU POUVOIR A UNE PERSONNE DENOMMEE
(3) Art. L 225-107 du Code de Commerce (extrait) :
  (2) Art. L 225-106 du Code de Commerce (extrait) :
« Tout actionnaire peut voter par correspondance, au moyen d’un formulaire dont les mentions sont fixées par décret. Les dispositions contraires des statuts sont réputées non écrites.
Pour le calcul du quorum, il n’est tenu compte que des formulaires qui ont été reçus par la Société avant la réunion de l’Assemblée, dans les conditions de délais fixés par décret. Les formulaires ne donnant aucun sens de vote ou exprimant une abstention sont considérés comme des votes négatifs. »

Si vous désirez voter par correspondance, vous devez obligatoirement cocher la case JE VOTE PAR CORRESPONDANCE au recto.
Dans ce cas, il vous est demandé :
Pour les projets de résolutions proposées ou agréés par le Conseil d’Administration ou le Directoire ou la Gérance :
- - soit de voter « oui » pour l’ensemble des résolutions en ne noircissant aucune case,
- - soit de voter « non » ou de vous « abstenir » (ce qui équivaut à voter « non ») sur certaines ou sur toutes les résolutions en noircissant individuellement les cases correspondantes.
Pour les projets de résolutions non agréés par le Conseil d’Administration ou le Directoire ou la Gérance :
- - de voter résolution par résolution en noircissant la case correspondant à votre choix,
En outre, pour le cas où des amendements aux résolutions présentées ou des résolutions nouvelles seraient déposées lors de l’assemblée, il vous est demandé d’opter entre 3 solutions (pouvoir au Président de l’Assemblée Générale, abstention ou pouvoir à personne dénommée), en noircissant la case correspondante à votre choix.
  « Un actionnaire peut se faire représenter par un autre actionnaire ou par son conjoint. »

Tout actionnaire peut recevoir les pouvoirs émis par d’autres actionnaires en vue d’être représenté à une Assemblée, sans autres limites que celles résultant des dispositions légales ou statutaires fixant le nombre maximal des voix dont peut disposer une même personne tant en son nom personnel que comme mandataire. Avant chaque réunion de l’Assemblée Générale des actionnaires, le Président du Conseil d’Administration ou le Directoire, selon le cas, peut organiser la consultation des actionnaires mentionnés à l’article L. 225-102 afin de leur permettre de désigner un ou plusieurs mandataires pour les représenter à l’Assemblée Générale conformément aux dispositions du présent article. Cette consultation est obligatoire lorsque, les statuts ayant été modifiés en application de l’article L. 225-23 ou de l’article L. 225-71, l’Assemblée Générale ordinaire doit nommer au Conseil d’Administration ou au Conseil de surveillance, selon le cas, un ou des salariés actionnaires ou membres des Conseils de surveillance des fonds communs de placement d’entreprise détenant des actions de la société. Les clauses contraires aux dispositions des alinéas précédents sont réputées non écrites.
Pour toute procuration d’un actionnaire sans indication de mandataire, le Président de l’Assemblée Générale émet un vote favorable à l’adoption de projets de résolutions présentés ou agréés par le Conseil d’Administration ou le Directoire, selon le cas, et un vote défavorable à l’adoption de tous les autres projets de résolution. Pour émettre tout autre vote, l’actionnaire doit faire choix d’un mandataire qui accepte de voter dans le sens indiqué par le mandant.
(*) Le texte des résolutions figure dans le dossier de convocation joint au présent formulaire (art D 133) : ne pas utiliser à la fois « JE VOTE PAR CORRESPONDANCE » et « JE DONNE POUVOIR A » (art D 133-8). La langue française fait foi.

A shareholder can have himself/herself represented by another shareholder or by his/her spouse.”

Any shareholder can receive proxies issued by the other shareholders to have themselves represented at a meeting, without any other limitations other than those laid down by the law or by the articles of association fixing the maximum number of votes to which a person is entitled both in his/her own name or a proxy. Before each shareholders’ meeting, the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Executive Board may consult the shareholders listed in article L. 225-102 in order to allow them to designate one or several proxies to represent them at the shareholders’ meeting in accordance with this article. Such consultation is obligatory when the articles of association, having been modified pursuant to articles L. 225-23 or L. 225-71, require the shareholders’ ordinary meeting to appoint to the Board of Directors or the Executive Board, one or more shareholder employees or members of the Executive Board of a pension fund holding shares in the company. The clauses in contradiction with the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs are deemed to be invalid.
When proxies do not indicate the name of the appointed proxy, the chairman of the meeting will vote the proxy in favor of the adoption of the draft resolutions presented or approved by the Board of Directors or the Executive Board, and will vote the proxy against the adoption of all the other draft resolutions. To give any other vote, the shareholder must choose a proxy who accepts to vote as he/she indicates.
(*) The text of the resolutions are in the notification of the meeting which is sent with this proxy (art D 133) : please do not use both « I VOTE BY POST » and « I HEREBY APPOINT » (art D 133-8). The French version of this document governs. The English translation is for convenience only.
