Clear strategic choices to create value and prepare for the future

Shareholders will also be asked to amend Natixis’ bylaws in order to update them and bring them into compliance with laws and regulations. In this document you will find a detailed presentation of these. We will have an opportunity to look back on 2019, a year marked by the continuation of our «New Dimension» 2018-2020 strategic plan (on page 20 of this notice), which included a number of major strategic projects such as the announced merger with La Banque Postale Asset Management or the implementationof theGreenWeighting Factor, among others. Natixis posted very satisfactory results for all its business lines in 2019. These results reflect strong growth thanks to the resolute implementation of our asset light strategy and provide a solid basis for the successful continuation of our NewDimension strategic plan in a context nowmarked by the health crisis. As a precaution and in accordance with the recommendations of the European Central Bank, it was decided not to distribute dividends in the context of uncertainty about the financial impacts caused by the Covid-19 crisis. Natixis will reconsider this decision after October 01, 2020 in order to allow for a potential distribution depending on the prevailing situation at that time. All information about this meeting is available at www. natixis.com. Considering the exceptional context mentioned above, I invite you, this year, to cast your vote by proxy given to the Shareholders’ Meeting Chairman, by a voting form, or by internet.
