It was broadcast live by video on the Natixis website.

The Company’s results for the first quarter of 2020 and the financial structure were presented. François Riahi indicated that the Natixis Board of Directors had decided to follow the recommendations made by the European Central Bank (ECB) concerning the distribution of dividends in the context of uncertainties about the financial impact of the COVID-19 crisis. As a result, it was no longer proposed to the meeting to distribute a dividend per share of €0.31 for fiscal year 2019 and that this distributionwill be reviewed later by the Board of Directors based on ECB recommendations.

The Investor Relations Department provides information and resources to analysts and investors. To this end, a variety of sources is used: formal informational meetings during major events (publication of annual, interim and quarterly financial statements, etc.), road shows, conference calls and one-on-one interviews. The materials used in these meetings (press releases, presentations, etc.) as well as any other additional information (financial calendar, regulated information, corporate governance, Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting, etc.) are available on Natixis’ website in the Investor Relations section. From time to time, depending on current events, we also organize specific, themed presentations to give our financial partners and colleagues a better understanding of the general climate and Natixis’ specific challenges.

Natixis organizes meetings with analysts and institutional investors throughout the year at roadshows or conferences organized by brokers in the main financial marketplaces. In 2020, the Investor Relations Department had to adapt to the health context by maintaining dialog with its stakeholders through the use of digital tools. As a result, most meetings were held virtually through videoconferencesand teleconferences, with the average number of interactions in 2020 roughly equal to those in 2019.
