As of December 31, 2020, the members, alongside the Chief Executive Officer, were as follows: Nathalie Bricker (Chief Financial Officer); V Anne-Christine Champion (Co-Head of Corporate & Investment V Banking); Mohamed Kallala (Co-Head of Corporate & Investment Banking); V André-Jean Olivier (General Secretary); V Jean Raby (Head of Asset & Wealth Management); V Véronique Sani (Director of Technology & Transformation); V Cécile Tricon-Bossard (Group Human Resources Director); V Pierre-Antoine Vacheron (Head of the Payments division); V Olivier Vigneron (Chief Risk Officer).

The gender balance policy applied to the Board of Directors is described in section 2.2.1.1.C of this chapter. In 2019, the Company signed the United Nations Principles for Gender Equality. By signing the seven principles for the empowerment of women, Natixis is committed to implementing gender equality governance at the highest level of the Company. As part of the New Dimension strategic plan, Natixis has also set itself gender diversity targets, includingensuring20% of memberson the Senior Management Committee are women. The rate of Gender balance within 2.2.3.1

representationof women on Natixis' Senior ManagementCommittee was 40% as of December 31, 2020 (reduced to 36% following the assumption of duties of François Codet on February 22, 2021), compared to the previous 30%, a clear increase in the representation of women and exceeding the target set in the strategic plan. Natixis has thus gone from a Senior Management Committee composed exclusively of men five years ago, to a Committee composed today of six men and four women, each holding strategic positions: the Chief Financial Officer, the director of Technology & Transformation, the director of Human Resources and the Co-Head of Corporate & Investment Banking. Natixis is determined to be exemplary both in terms of significantly increasing the representationof women and as regards the profiles of women who hold thehighest positions in support activities and business lines. This rise of women in governing bodies is the result of a specific action plan initiated several years ago structured around: the setting of quantified targets and monitoring in each business V line; strong competency-based Human Resources and recruitment V processes; succession plans that systematically include female profiles; V blended career development programs. V With regard to the latter, in 2019 Natixis built and implemented the “Women’sSponsorshipProgram” to enable the most talented female employees to benefit, for one year, from the support of a member of the Senior ManagementCommitteeor the ExecutiveCommittee.The objective is to promote these female talents, increase their visibility and thus actively prepare their access to career opportunitieswithin Natixis. In addition, for more than ten years, coaching programs dedicated to women such as "career success for women" are offered, and these enable employees to develop their leadership skills and assert their ambitions every year. Thanks to the actions it has undertaken, Natixis is now the leading bank in the ranked list of women in SBF 120 governing bodies produced by the State Secretariat for Gender Equality and published in July 2020. This ranking recognizes the progress and efforts made to increase female presence in the leadership circles to which the members of the Senior Management Committee belong. B – Gender balance in the top 10% of positions with the highest responsibility In accordance with Article L.22-10-10 2° of the French Commercial Code, 29% of women hold positions in the top ten % of positions of responsibility, which correspond to the top-ranking leadership circle, Global Leaders (equivalent to the top 100), includingmembers of the Senior Management Committee and members of the Natixis Executive Committee.
