Agreements authorised and entered into during the past fiscal year Pursuant to Article R. 322 ‑ 57 of the French insurance code, we were informed of the following agreements entered into during the past fiscal year that were authorised in advance by your Board of Directors. Joint crisis management mechanism The Board of Directors, on 10 March 2022, authorised the implementation of a joint crisis management mechanism (known as “MSG” in French), aimed at implementing joint actions and applying to Groupama Assurances Mutuelles and to the 11 regional mutuals, within the limit of an annual expenditure cap set at 1.5% of the premiums of the 11 regional mutuals earned in respect of the previous financial year. The cost of the joint action within this framework is either borne directly by Groupama Assurances Mutuelles, or by one or more of the regional mutuals, with Groupama Assurances Mutuelles paying a subsidy to the regional mutuals to cover the net cost borne by them. The joint contribution of the regional mutuals to the MSG is accounted for by Groupama Assurances Mutuelles in the calculation of the profit share paid under the general reinsurance regulations. The Board of Directors approved the payment of subsidies by GMA to one or more regional mutuals for a maximum annual amount of 82% of the annual envelope and authorised the amendment to be made to section 2 of the reinsurance agreement with effect from 1 January 2022. Directors concerned: Mr Assémat, Mr Collay, Mr Dagès, Mrs Le Dilly, Mr Moy, Mr Pivard, Mr Poupart, Mr Roumégous, and Mr Schmitt.
