l Principle No. 2: Directors are elected by all of the shareholders and must act in all circumstances in CDA’s corporate interest, serving the long-term value creation strategy that is part of a constant desire to respect stakeholders such as employees, shareholders, customers, partners and, of course, public authorities, and make every effort to ensure that CDA’s activities are conducted legally, responsibly, transparently and ethically. The Board of Directors may consist of no more than eight members and must conform with the composition of the shareholding structure and the size and nature of CDA’s activities. Preference is given to representation of long-term shareholders (stakes held in pure registered or administered form). Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC) – the Leading Shareholder with a stake greater than or equal to one third – thus has five Directors (including the Chairman), namely: l Dominique Marcel, Chairman;

The composition of the Board of Directors and its three committees follows several principles set out in the Corporate Governance Charter. The Charter, in force since the Company’s privatisation in 2004 and amended several times since (the last time on 31 May 2021) to include new governance provisions, is available in its entirety on the Compagnie des Alpes website at the following address: www. compagniedesalpes.com, under the heading “Governance”. It serves as the internal regulations of the Board of Directors. Given the presence of a Leading Shareholder (Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations), the Charter is intended to promote a democratic and collective representation of shareholders and take into account corporate interests, mainly through the appointment of independent Directors. Principles of Board composition In total, the Charter contains six principles governing the composition of the Board of Directors. These principles are summarised below. As a guiding principle, the Board endeavours to ensure that its composition and that of the committees is well balanced, in particular in terms of the range of skills present and the number of men and women and different nationalities represented. l Principle No. 1: based on the recommendations of the Appointments and Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors submits to the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting a list of candidates chosen in accordance with the principles of the Charter, in view of their competence and their potential contribution to the Board’s work and to the creation of long-term value, while taking into consideration social and environmental responsibility issues.

l Antoine Saintoyant, Vice-Chairman; l CDC, represented by Marion Cabrol; l Clothilde Lauzeral; l Arnaud Taverne.

Other shareholders that hold their stakes in pure registered or administered form and wish to be represented on the Board of Directors must submit their request to the Chairman. All requests are examined by the Appointments and Compensation Committee, which makes recommendations to the Board of Directors in the light of the six principles set out in the Charter. l Principle No. 3: the number of Board members is set at twelve (set number of members), including four independent Directors. Since the conditions set out in Article L. 22-10-7 of the French
