hoc notice must contain:

- the reasons for the application of Leclanché for granting an extension of
the deadline to publish its 2017 half-year report and to file such report

administrative delay in registering the capital increase scheduled on 29
September 2017 which was curing the over indebtedness position of the
Company.
