   FFP acquires a minority stake in International SOS, a worldwide leader in
                         health and security services

FFP today announces that it has signed an agreement to acquire a minority
interest in International SOS (www.internationalsos.com) primarily through a
capital increase, for $306 million. FFP will thus contribute to pursuing the
development of a company that is uniquely positioned worldwide in the fields of
health and security.

Founded in 1985 in Singapore by Arnaud Vaissié and Dr. Pascal Rey-Herme,
International SOS offers medical prevention and security services, access to
healthcare and emergency intervention to international companies and government
organisations. Operating in 85 countries, the company employs 10,000 health,
security and logistics experts dedicated to supporting and assisting 12,000
organisations 24/7. In its financial year ended 30 June 2020, the company
achieved sales of $1.2 billion, balanced between America, Asia-Pacific and
EMEA.

FFP joins the group's founders and managers, majority shareholders, alongside
Cobepa, and will participate in the governance of the company, in line with its
strategy as a long-term active minority investor.

Commenting on this investment, Robert Peugeot, Chairman of the Board of
Directors of FFP, said: "I am delighted that FFP is joining forces with a
talented team, with whom we share the same values, to contribute to the
development of a player without equal in the world."

Bertrand Finet, CEO of FFP, added: "International SOS has shown strong
resilience and agility in the face of the crisis we are going through, and has
a know-how that responds to the growing concerns of companies and governments
in terms of health and security at work."

Arnaud Vaissié, Chairman and CEO of International SOS, added: "International
SOS is delighted to welcome FFP, a partner with a long-term vision and a great
industrial history, to accompany the group in its future development".

Jean-Marie Laurent Josi, CEO of Cobepa, concluded: "Throughout our thriving
partnership over the last 14 years, we have been impressed by the achievements
of the International SOS team which has grown the company into the undisputed
global market leader through their relentless focus on delivering premium
healthcare and security services to the benefit of their global clients. We are
delighted to reinforce our commitment to International SOS in this transaction
and to welcome FFP alongside us to accompany the company in the future."
