Groupama network 2.1.2.1 The Groupama network includes local andregional mutuals. The local mutuals are the basis of Groupama’s mutualist organisation, allowing true proximity to be established with policyholders.Policyholders automatically become members of a local mutual, which gives them the right to participate in the General Meeting, be listened to, elect their representativesto the Boardof Directorsand be candidates for theBoard. Local mutuals are reinsured with regional mutuals according to a specific reinsurance mechanism by which the regional mutual takes the place of the local mutuals within its district in fulfilling their insurancecommitments towardsmembers. The regional mutuals are insurance companies that, under the control of a central body Groupama Assurances Mutuelles with which they are reinsured, are responsible for their management, pricing and product policy and, as part of the Group’s strategy, their salespolicy. At the end of 2019, the Groupamanetworkhad 9 regionalmutuals in metropolitan France, 2 overseas mutuals and 2 specialised mutuals.

INTERNATIONAL NETWORKS

Groupama offers a wide range of non-life and life insurance products internationally, in nine countries, mainly in Europe. Products on these markets are offered via various distribution networks, particularly exclusive agents, salespeople, brokers, bankingnetworksand partnerships. In the mid-2000s, the Group began to establish banking partnerships,sometimesexclusive, a particular example being the exclusive agreement with OTP Bank covering several countries in Central and Eastern Europe; these partnershipshave enabled the Group to develop in new markets supported by established players. In addition to bancassurance partnerships, the international subsidiaries have developed exclusive and non-exclusive distribution agreements with partners such as leasing companies, car distribution networks, or farming cooperatives. At the end of 2010, Groupama and the AVIC group (Aviation Industry Corporation of China) signed an agreement on the creation of a joint venture to expand activities in the non-life insurance segment in the People’s Republic of China.
