Dear Shareholders, T

As CEO, Isabelle Kocher led the Group, our teams, and our stakeholders on a path of transformation. We are pursuing our goal to make ENGIE a leader in the energy and climate transition, with the aim of increasing its selectivity, simplifying its processes and accelerating its development. To lead us through this new path forward, we will conduct an extensive search to find the Group’s next leader, with the support of the Appointments, Compensation and Governance Committee chaired by Françoise Malrieu. Our search process will meet the best standards of governance.
