In a resolution dated May 28, 2019, the Combined General Shareholders’ Meeting renewed the authorization granted to the Board of Directors to decide whether to increase share capital, in one or more stages, up to a maximumof fifty (50) million euros, through the issue of shares or securities giving access to share capital reserved for membersof employee savings plans. It also established that the delegation of authority to issue shares would remain valid for a period of 26 months from the date of said meeting. Natixis’ Board of Directors did not use this delegation of authority in 2021. As a result of the simplified public tender offer carried out by BPCE for all of the Natixis shares not held by BPCE, followed by the squeeze-out effective July 21, 2021 and the delisting of Natixis shares on the Euronext Paris regulated market on the same day, there are no longer any employee shareholding funds in the share capital of Natixis.
