PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP

BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND GROUP STRATEGY

For its operations and design support services, Assystem has in-depth multi-sector expertise and its wealth of experience includes signalling designs for SNCF Réseau, mechanical and fluids systems designs, Balance of Plant analyses for the energy sector, detailed designs for the conventional turbine islands of EDF s nuclear power plants, designs of elementary and command/control systems, and materials classification analyses. Systems integration Systems integration services are used for complex projects, for which Assystem draws on its expertise in automation and the construction of buildings intended for complex processes. These services not only cover the installation phase but continue right through to the commissioning tests for the processes themselves. They are provided in a wide range of fields and Assystem’s experience in this area includes projects related to the cybersecurity of an energy transmission network, the energy efficiency of the Paris High Court and the command and control systems for nuclear power plants. STAFFING The Staffing division – which operates through the MPH Group – provides specialist consultants to companies in the Oil & Gas and other industrial sectors, primarily in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. MPH is a well-established player in the field of technical and engineering recruitment services for the Oil & Gas, energy, aerospace, defence, telecommunications, railway, mining, metallurgy, environmental and nuclear industries. The Group’s Strategy The Group expansion drive is focused on the GPS and E&I divisions, for which the strategy is to: ● combine organic and external growth in a balanced way; 1.2.3 1.2.4 ● develop new services for existing clients and enlarge the client portfolio, in particular by gaining additional skills through hiring employees and/or acquiring companies that possess those skills; ● ensure that client offerings remain competitive by using an appropriate mix of resources based in Western Europe and elsewhere in the world. ● consolidate the globalisation of their activities;

E&I is a well-established player in both infrastructure transformation (new methods of producing and storing electrical energy) and digital transformation (project development and providing secure solutions for users). Its engineering operations are structured around technical and project departments and its business areas include project management consultancy, engineering procurement and construction management, E&I’s PMC teams use project management methods put in place by Assystem based on an international PMC model that is suitable for complex installations. PMC services generally include assistance with the construction and start-up phases as well as with commissioning tests, with the design and performance of safety tests a particularly important aspect. Assystem’s main PMC projects are currently being carried out for (i) EDF (assistance for power plant activities such as on-line maintenance and outages, as well as for the construction of the European Pressurised Reactor (EPR) at Flamanville, France), (ii) Société du Grand Paris (concerning the creation of the new Grand Paris Express transport network), (iii) CEA (in the areas of defence, decommissioning and waste processing), and (iv) the ITER project based in Cadarache, France. Engineering Procurement and Construction management (EPCm) Assystem provides EPCm services across all project phases, from design through to decommissioning. Assystem’s expertise in this area covers new projects as well as decommissioning and waste recovery and processing programmes. The main EPCm projects it is currently working on concern (i) buildings and electrical easements for ITER, (ii) the automation of lines and the renewal of trains for the underground rail network in Marseille, (iii) ancillary buildings for EPRs in the UK, and (iv) the nuclear portion of the CIGEO radioactive waste storage project. Design engineering This business area covers design, assistance with configuration management, logistical support, customisation and research into the related risks. In the nuclear sector, the focus of our design engineering work is on demonstrating how operators can meet their safety objectives, which we do by analysing risks and verifying the resistance of systems based on scenarios of attacks and internal failures. design engineering, and systems integration.
