E and numbered from A.1 to E.7.

This summary contains all the Elements that must be included in the summary of a prospectus concerning this
class of marketable securities and to this type of issuer. Since not all the Elements are required to be disclosed,
the numbering of the Elements in this summary is not continuous.

In some instances, no relevant information may be provided in relation to a given Element that needs to be
included in this summary on account of the class of marketable securities and the type of issuer concerned. In
such a case, a brief description of the Element in question is included in the summary, with the specification
“Not applicable”.

origin
B.3 Nature of ECOSLOPS develops processing and recycling units for oil residues from bilge water or
operations and ship engine rooms known as shipping “slops”. By implementing processes and technologies
main activities used in the field of petrochemical refineries, ECOSLOPS is the only operator in the sector
to collect and transform this hydrocarbon waste into marine fuel to supply ship engines.
Ecoslops’ first industrial processing unit, which has an annual production capacity in excess
of 25,000 tonnes of recycled fuel, was built in Sines, Portugal’s leading industrial port,
located 150km south of Lisbon.
Ecoslops offers port infrastructures, waste collectors and ship-owners a solution via
processing units that it constructs and operates. The recycling market for oil waste is
growing, driven by the expansion of the so-called circular economy, the tightening of

Page 3
international regulations (the Marpol Convention) and the long-term annual growth of
maritime transport, at 3 to 4% per year. Ecoslops is aiming to establish itself as a leading
processor of marine hydrocarbon waste. Several projects to set up new processing units are
under consideration, notably in the Ivory Coast, Singapore and Northern Europe.

B.4a Main recent


trends affecting At the end of 2014, Ecoslops was awarded an environmental licence (19 December 2014)
the issuer and and operating licence (22 December 2014) authorising the recycling site for shipping oil
its operating residues in the port of Sines, Portugal to start operating.
sectors As such, the Sines processing unit has passed various milestones: mechanical completion of
the P2R, mechanical trials and the receipt of the operating licence allowing operations to
begin. Commencing full production at the factory required the completion of two final
steps: placing the entire P2R plant under vacuum (-250 mbar) and heating it to 400°C, both
of which ECOSLOPS has successfully achieved. The unit is currently operating at a lower
level than its design instantaneous capacity so that the settings can be refined, and the
Company expects it to reach its design processing capacity at the end of the first half of
2015 (100 tonnes of slops treated per day). Analyses carried out by the Company show that
the fuels produced meet the criteria of ISO standard 8217. An independent laboratory will
confirm these results over the next few weeks. The Company is registered with customs and
has the necessary authorisations for the commercialisation of marine fuel. ECOSLOPS
should be able to market marine fuel from the end of the first quarter of 2015.

Overall collection of oil waste at the Sines site is still increasing, with more than 5,900 m3
collected in 2014 (up 25% in comparison with 2013). The collection of sludge, the most
hydrocarbon rich oil residue, posted growth of 48% in volume, driven by the significant rise
in the number of vessels entrusting their waste to ECOSLOPS. This trend is set to continue
thanks to the growth dynamic set in motion by the Sines port authorities (increase in
capacities, investments in infrastructures) and by closer relationships with MSC (the world’s
second largest container ship owner) which has a significant hub at the port.

Moreover, in spite of the recent fall in the price of oil, ECOSLOPS continues to boast a
solid development plan and business model. The drop in the oil price has led to a reduction
in the sale price of marine fuel. Until August 2014, the price of a barrel of Brent oil was
above $100. The weighted price per tonne of marine fuel was therefore in excess of $800,
which, given the $/€ parity between 1.35 and 1.38, corresponded to a marine fuel price of
more than €600 per tonne. In January 2015, a tonne of marine fuel cost on average $481
(with a barrel of Brent oil at approximately $51) equating to €411 given the dampening
effect of the exchange rate fluctuation at 1.17.

Taking into account the cost structure of its unit and the resilience of its financial model,
ECOSLOPS considers that its break-even point (EBITDA) is likely to lie at $300 per tonne
of marine fuel (representing a level estimated at less than $35 per barrel of Brent oil).
Conversely, any rise in the price of marine fuel in the future will have a significant leverage
effect on profitability.

B.11 Net working At the Prospectus visa date, the Company does not have sufficient net working capital to
capital meet its commitments and operating cash requirements for the next twelve months.

expenditure anticipated at present. In the event commercial paper issued by BNP (€900K)
and CIC (€500K) are not extended in February 2015, Company shareholders are committed
to contribute €1,455K to the Company through exercise of their share warrants (€955K)
and an additional contribution of €500K to the shareholders' current account.

To date, the Company estimates its funding requirements at approximately €4.6 million for
the twelve months from the prospectus visa date. These consist of funding requirements of
€2.2 million to ensure the continuity of the Company and costs of €2.4 million associated
with the Company's development and capital expenditure.

The preparation of its initial public offering is the Company's preferred solution to finance
the continuation of its operations and obtain the funding necessary to its development for
the twelve months from the prospectus visa date.

In the event market conditions render the anticipated IPO impossible, the Company would
adapt its development strategy and would continue to seek industrial partners and investors
as part of a private placement.

Section D – Risks

D.1 Main risks - Main risks related to the Company’s activity and its market:
specific to the ◦ Industrial risks, equipment failure or mechanical breakdowns: Any equipment
issuer or its failure or mechanical breakdown of the main assets or problem relating to the ramp
business sector up of units operated by ECOSLOPS may have a negative impact on the Company’s
financial performance and reputation.
◦ In addition, ECOSLOPS’ activities are subject to the risks inherent in the oil and
petrochemicals industry, such as the risk of equipment failure, personal injury, fire
and explosion.
◦ Risks relating to competition and to the industrial ECOSLOPS processing units
becoming obsolete: The Company is in competition with other operators of varying
sizes, whose industrial and commercial experience and financial and human
resources may exceed its own. New operators may choose to make significant
investments in the future. The Company cannot therefore guarantee that an
alternative technology or solution to the “Petroleum Residue Recycling” (P2R)
process that it employs may not appear in the future and restrict its development
capabilities.
◦ Risks related to the construction of new installations: the Company expects to sign
3 new agreements for the creation of new units by the end of 2017. Achieving this
objective presupposes ECOSLOPS’ ability to ensure that the new units are
constructed and start operating. There are three main types of risk involved: (i)
Delay in securing the necessary agreements for the installation of the hydrocarbon
waste processing units; (ii) Delay and non-compliance with terms and conditions by
partners during the construction phase; (iii) Financial risk: business prospection,
file preparation, study, then implementation and construction phases will require
financial resources that ECOSLOPS may be unable to provide, either on its own or
as a joint investor.
◦ Reduction in the amount of hydrocarbon waste generated by ships: the Company
cannot rule out the possibility that the amount of waste produced by ships will not
fall over time, resulting in an increase in the price of marine hydrocarbon waste.
◦ Dependency risk in relation to third parties: ECOSLOPS has complete ownership
of its industrial installations and its expertise. Nevertheless, its processing units use
the P2R (Petroleum Residue Recycling) process. Designed in particular by Michel
Pingeot, this oil residue distillation process has been patented in Europe by the
Heurtey Petrochem Group. If this group is committed to continue providing, until

Page 8
31 December 2019, the design of the P2R modules in order to equip ECOSLOP’s
next processing units, failure to honour this commitment for any reason whatsoever
would have a negative impact on the Company’s development.
◦ Risks regarding failure to obtain port licences, authorisations or concessions: For
the installation of its processing units, ECOSLOPS is dependent on the decision of
several local and national authorities where it is located. Each country has its own
specific requirements and the control and licensing authorities are not the same
(Ministries, regional authorities, etc.). ECOSLOPS cannot be sure that it will
always be able to obtain or renew the licences or authorisations required for the
creation of new processing units. In addition, obtaining these licences is
traditionally conditional upon studies into the impact on the environment and on the
safety of the installations.

- Other risks:
The Company is also exposed to risks related to (i) Significant reliance on key
individuals, in particular members of management and in the first instance its Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) Management of the Company’s growth (both
internal and international) notably in relation to the internal structure

The Company is also exposed to legal risks related to: (i) The development of
regulations applicable to its oil waste reprocessing activity, and (ii) ECOSLOPS’
general liability being incurred in relation to its activity.

- Financial risks including:


◦ The risk related to the Company’s historical losses is a significant financial risk
given the requirement for the Company to continue its investment efforts for the
purpose of setting up new processing units. It should be noted that as of 30 June
2014, the Company’s cumulative operating losses since its creation total €5,131K
◦ The liquidity and future complementary capital and financing requirements risk:
the available cash flow at the end of January (i.e. €1.1 million) will enable the
Company to continue its operations until June 2015. In order to ensure its funding
beyond that date, the Company has taken the following measures:
(i) Preparation for an IPO of shares in the Company on the Alternext market of
Euronext Paris with a concurrent raising of funds, which is the purpose of this
Prospectus;
(ii) In the event that market conditions are not conducive to the completion of the
envisaged floatation: the Company will adjust its development strategy and
pursue its objective of fundraising on the basis of a private placement.
◦ Fluctuations in the price of oil affect both the sale price of marine fuel and the price
of oil waste supplies (“slops”). The Company has not introduced any specific
procedure to reduce the risk of changes in the price of materials. At the end of 2014
and the beginning of 2015, the fall in the price of oil led to a decrease in the price
of marine fuel which stood at approximately $481 per tonne on average in January
2015: $51). Taking into account the cost structure of its unit and the resilience of its
business model, ECOSLOPS considers that its break-even point is likely to lie at
$300 per tonne of marine fuel (representing a level corresponding to a price of less
than $35 per barrel of Brent oil).
◦ Moreover, the Company faces uncertainty regarding the possible repayment of the
balance of the financial assistance (€2.6 million) granted by IAPMEI (Portuguese
Institute to Support SMEs and Innovation) as part of the construction of the Sines
unit.
◦ Risk of dilution: This concerns the risk of dilution related to the exercise of some or
all of the instruments giving access to the capital already allocated or which may be
allocated in the future. The dilution from existing instruments represents a

Page 9
maximum dilution of 15.27% on a fully diluted basis of the share capital and the
voting rights (excluding Convertible Bonds which are not intended for conversion).

- Other financial risks: Risks related to the future use of deferred tax losses that may be
carried forward, risks related to the Research Tax Credit, interest rate risk, credit risk
and risk related to cash-flow management and foreign currency notably €/$, risks
related to off-balance-sheet commitments and collateral.

D.3 Main risks The main risks associated with the Offering are as follows:
specific to - The Company’s shares have not previously been traded and are subject to market
shares issued fluctuations;
- The market price of the Company’s shares is liable to be affected by substantial
volatility;
- The Offering will not be the subject of a performance bond within the meaning of
Article L. 225-145 of the French Commercial Code. Insufficient subscriptions (less
than 75% of the proposed capital increase) may result in the Offering being
cancelled;
- The transfer by the existing main shareholders of a large number of shares upon
expiry of the retention period to which they have committed may have an adverse
impact on the market price;
- The Company does not intend to adopt a policy of paying regular dividends;
- Since shares in the Company are not intended to be listed on a regulated market,
investors will not benefit from the guarantees associated with regulated markets;
- The exercise of instruments giving access to the existing capital, as well as any new
allocations or issues will result in a dilution for the shareholders.
- The potential fall in the gross proceeds of the Offering below €14 million will not
jeopardise the Company’s projects, but it will certainly increase the likelihood of
additional fundraising being required.
- Similarly, the Company may not have sufficient financial resources to be able to set
up or construct all the new units that it may sign up to in the future. Although
schemes involving local joint investors and liabilities may be implemented, the
possibility of raising further equity capital in the future, which would lead to an
additional dilution for the shareholders, cannot be ruled out.

expenses in the event of the full exercise of both the Increase Option and the Overallotment
associated with Option (based on a price at the midpoint of the indicative range of the Offering Price, i.e.
the issue. €18.50). The gross proceeds from the offering would be reduced to approximately €9.5
million in the event the transaction is limited to 75% and based on the lower limit of the
indicative range of the Offering Price. i.e. €16.65.

Net Proceeds from the Offering


The net proceeds from the offering is estimated at approximately €13.1 million (reduced
to €9.8 million in the event the transaction is limited to 75%), which may be increased to
approximately €15.1 million in the event of the full exercise of the Increase Option and
approximately €17.4 million in the event of the full exercise of both the Increase Option
and the Overallotment Option.
On the same basis, the total fees of intermediaries and advisors are estimated at
approximately €0.9 million (without exercising either the Increase Option or the
Overallotment Clause).
The net proceeds from the offering would be reduced to approximately €8.8 million in
the event the transaction is limited to 75% and based on the lower limit of the indicative
range of the Offering Price. i.e. €16.65.

E.2a Reasons for the The issue of new shares and the admission of Company shares to trading on the
Offering and Alternext Paris market are intended to provide the Company with additional resources to
intended use of finance its operations and its development with a view to taking a major position in the
the proceeds marine oil waste market.
thereof
The €14 million proceeds from the Offering (reduced to approximately €11.2 million
after deducting shareholders' current accounts of €2.8 million) would be allocated as
follows:
- €9 million to international development resources (primarily human resources, project
design and engineering and business development costs) and the setting up /
participation in the building of a new processing facility (funding of preliminary studies,
site financing and capital expenditure).
- €2.2 million for reasons associated with insufficient capital requirements and funding
to ensure business continuity over the next twelve months.

In the event of a 75% subscription of the Offering at the lower limit of the price range,
the Company would allocate the funds raised (€9.5 million reduced to €6.7 million after
the impact of current accounts) as follows:
- €4.5 million to international development resources (primarily human resources,
project design and engineering and business development costs) and the setting up /
participation in the building of a new processing facility (funding of preliminary studies,
site financing and capital expenditure).
- €2.2 million for reasons associated with insufficient capital requirements and funding
to ensure business continuity over the next twelve months.
Against this background, any reduction in gross proceeds from the Offering to less than
€14 million would not jeopardise the Company's plans but would result in a lack of
sufficient funding to install and build a unit without securing additional sources of
financing. Such an event would greatly increase the likelihood of supplementary
fundraising.

Page 11
It should be noted that ECOSLOPS estimates the cost of a "standard" unit to be
approximately €14 million. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the features of future
ECOSLOPS units will be specific to each country and local situation. Accordingly, the
Group will tailor its funding strategy on a case-by-case basis: debt financing, equity
investment by the local subsidiaries of partners (collectors, financial investors, etc.). In
the event of collaboration with local collectors in a number of ports, such as in the
Singapore project, ECOSLOPS may use a partner's local infrastructure and restrict its
investment to certain facilities, such as the P2R unit.
Lastly, it should be noted that the Group may be eligible for financial aid and grants, and
that it will gradually generate revenue from the production of marine fuel at its
processing unit located at Sines, Portugal, from 2015 onwards.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not committed to any acquisition
project in progress.

E.3 Terms and Nature and number of securities for which admission to trading is sought and the
conditions of the securities offered
Offering
The Company's shares for which admission to trading on the Alternext market of
Euronext Paris is sought are:
- all existing ordinary shares comprising the share capital, i.e. 2,053,520 shares with a
par value of one Euro each, fully subscribed, fully paid-up and all of the same class
(the "Existing Shares" hereafter);
and
- the 756,757 new shares to be issued as part of a share capital increase in cash with
waiver of the shareholders' preferential subscription rights and by means of a public
offering, which may be increased to a maximum of 870,270 new shares in the event
of the full exercise of the Increase Option (collectively the "New Shares" hereafter)
and increased to a maximum of 1,000,000 new shares in the event of the full
exercise of the Overallotment Option (the "Additional New Shares" and together
with the New Shares, the "Offered Shares" hereafter).

Increase Option
Depending on the demand expressed as part of the Offering, the initial number of new
shares may be increased, at the Company's discretion, by 15%, namely a maximum of
113,513 new shares, (the "Increase Option" hereafter).

Overallotment Option
An overallotment option would consist of a maximum of 15% of the number of new
shares in the event the Increase Option is exercised, namely a maximum of 129,370 new
shares (the "Overallotment Option" hereafter").
This Overallotment Option may be exercised by CM-CIC Securities, acting in its own
name and on its own account, until 20 March 2015.

Offering structure
The Offered Shares are intended to be distributed as part of a global offering (the
"Offering" hereafter), comprising:
- a public offering in France in the form of an open price offering, primarily
aimed at individuals (the "Open Price Offering" or "OPO" hereafter);
- a global placement aimed primarily at institutional investors and, within the
European Economic Area, at investors who acquire these shares for a total
amount of at least €50,000 per investor or at least €100,000 if the Member
State has transposed the amending prospectus directive in France and abroad

Page 12
(with the exception notably of the United States) (the "Global Placement"
hereafter).

Should the demand expressed under the OPO permit it, the number of offered shares
allocated in response to orders issued under the said OPO will be 10% or more of the
total number of offered shares, excluding shares issued in the event the Increase Option
is exercised and before the possible exercise of the Overallotment Option.

Indicative price range


The indicative price range is between €16.65 and €20.35 per Offered Share (the
"Offering Price" hereafter).

The Offering Price may be set outside of this range. In the event that the upper limit of
the range is increased or the Offering Price is set above the upper limit of the (initial or
modified) range, the ОРО closing date will be extended or a new OPO subscription
period will be reopened, as appropriate, so that at least two trading days elapse between
the date on which the press release notifying the modification is issued and the new
closing date of the OPO. Orders issued under the ОРО prior to the publication of the
aforementioned press release will be upheld unless expressly revoked prior to, or on, the
new OPO closing date.

The Offering Price may be freely set below the lower limit of the indicative price range
or the indicative price range may be revised downwards (with no significant impact on
the other features of the Offering).

Methods used to set the Offering Price


The Offering Price will be calculated by comparing the share offering under the Global
Placement and demand from investors, using the technique known as "order
bookbuilding" technique as developed on the basis of professional practice.

Subscription undertakings
Shareholders holding a receivable on the Company through a current account advance
are committed to participating in this Offering by offsetting receivables of €2,802K (out
of total current accounts of €3,502K at the date of this Securities Note).
The unit subscription price of the new shares will be equal to the IPO price set at a later
stage by the Board of Directors of the Company. This price will be calculated by
comparing the share offering under the Global Placement and demand from investors
using the technique known as "order bookbuilding" as developed on the basis of
professional practice.
The number of shares corresponding to the amount of subscriptions will therefore be
known when the price of new shares is finalised.
It should be noted that these offset transactions for the full amount of receivables will be
given priority under the Global Placement.
