INFORMATION ABOUT THE SHARE CAPITAL OWNED BY ANY MEMBER OF THE GROUP SUBJECT TO A CONDITIONAL OR UNCONDITIONAL AGREEMENT

This third Green Bond issue, in an amount of €1.75 billion, is the largest tranche of Green Bonds issued to date and means that EDF has already issued the equivalent of more than €4 billion in Green Bonds over a three-year period to support its expansion in the renewable energies field. On 20 January 2017, EDF successfully raised JPY137 billion, corresponding to approximately €1.1 billion (1) , through four senior bonds issued on the Japanese market (“Samurai bonds”): JPY107.9 billion, with a fixed coupon of 1.088%, 10-year bond; ■ JPY19.6 billion, with a fixed coupon of 1.278%, 12-year green bond; ■ JPY6.4 billion, with a fixed coupon of 1.569%, 15-year green bond; ■ JPY3.1 billion, with a fixed coupon of 1.870%, 20-year bond, which is the ■ longest bond maturity ever issued on the Samurai market. With the issue of two green tranches, in a total amount of 26 billion yen to be used to finance its renewable investments, EDF opens the Samurai Green market and thus continues to actively participate in the development of Green Bonds as tools to finance the energy transition.
