The dividend is deducted as a priority from the distributable profit for the financial year, under the meaning of Article Ǿ L.232-11 of the French Commercial Code. It may be deducted from the available reserves. The share capital injections received by public institutions do not give rise to remuneration. After assessing the financial position of the public institution and noting the existence of distributable amounts, in the report by the Board of Directors, Supervisory Board and any other deliberative body, the Minister of the Economy and the Minister for the Budget sets the amount of dividend paid to the State by ruling. P Partnership by design AFD’s fifth commitment is for thinking to automatically switch to partnerships. To meet these commitments, AFD Group firmly believes in the principle whereby working on a project with a partner is always better than working on a project alone. This willingness to always embrace new players is one of the key markers of our new strategy. 1.2.2 AFD Group’s action The AFD Group’s action takes the shape of a 3-lined matrix. THE GEOGRAPHICAL LINE Based on the specific needs of each territory, country or region, AFD has identified 3 areas for action: P “Africa”, to obtain an accurate, comprehensive picture of the whole continent; P “The Three Oceans” where France is represented through its Overseas Departments and Collectivities and seeks to boost regional momentum; P the emerging regions of the “Orients” and the “Americas” where a significant share of the issues surrounding low- carbon transition and the transformation of our economic and social models are found. THE SEGMENT LINE: 6 TRANSITIONS AFD’s strategic orientations are designed to support 6 major transitions: demographic and social, energy, territorial and ecological, digital and technological, political and civic, and economic and financial. THE RESEARCH AND INNOVATION LINE The aim is to anticipate future development issues to help us constantly improve our projects and invent the models and orientations for future sustainable development.

1.2 AFD Group’s 2018-2022 strategy

1.2.1 AFD Group’s missions and b commitments

The AFD Group’s main mission is to help build a shared world, a world that preserves and protects our five great global assets, namely the planet, social ties, peace, partnerships and economic prosperity. AFD adopted a new strategy for the period 2018-2022 designed to find the best way possible to meet these development challenges and the French State’s objective. The Group has identified five structural commitments to promote global assets. P 100% Paris Agreement AFD Group’s strategy is centred around implementation of the Paris Agreement and ensuring that all its financing is compatible with low-carbon, resilient development, within the meaning of this agreement. P 100% social link The Group is committed to combating inequality and carrying out action governed by the single tenet of stronger social ties between communities and territories. Access to education and gender equality are two top priorities in this area. P 3D development thinking AFD promotes the threesome of Defence, Diplomacy and Development (the “3Ds”) and works alongside other development players to supplement the action of humanitarian aid workers, diplomats and military personnel. A “3D vision” is a vision focused first and foremost on the prevention of armed conflict. P Non-sovereign first AFD intends to ramp-up our financing of non-sovereign players in the countries where we operate. These are public companies, regional and local authorities, civil society organisations, foundations and the private and finance sectors. Theirs is a key role in directing investment towards meeting all sustainable development goals (SDGs).
