CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Members and functioning of the Board of Directors

Duties The Nuclear Commitments Monitoring Committee (NCMC) was created by Article 9 of Decree no. 2007-243 of 23 February 2007 on the securing of the financing of long-term nuclear expenses. It is tasked with monitoring the value of nuclear liabilities and changes in the related provisions, issuing an opinion on issues relating to the governance of dedicated assets, the rules for asset-liability matching and on strategic allocation, as well as examining the results of the management of assets constituted by the Company and verifying the compliance of such management with the rules on constituting, managing, and controlling the financial risks of dedicated assets. It provides the Board with an opinion on the internal control procedure for the financing of the expenses set out in Article L. 594-1 of the French Environment Code.

The Committee relies on the works of the Nuclear Commitments Financial Expertise Committee (NCFEC) which is comprised of independent experts appointed by the Board (1) , whose duty is to assist the Company and its corporate bodies with matters relating to asset-liability matching and the management of dedicated assets. Finally, the Committee issues an opinion prior to any investment in unlisted assets for any project exceeding a unit amount of €400 million as well as for any project (excl. real estate) exceeding a unit amount of €200 million resulting in full consolidation of the target investment by the Company. In case the Committee issues a negative opinion on an investment plan, the Board of Directors has sole authority to authorise the aforementioned plan.
