CAPITAL AND SHARE OWNERSHIP Natixis and its individual shareholders

Natixis Shareholders’ Consultative Committee (CCAN) The CCAN is an advisory body and sounding Board composed of V 12 members who represent Natixis’ individual shareholders. These members are themselves individual shareholders chosen through an application process that includes interviews. The Committee is in charge of all aspects of financial communication with individual investors, and in particular the communication tools at their disposal. In 2019, the Committee members met with both Natixis Chief V Executive Officer François Riahi and Natixis Chief Financial Officer Nathalie Bricker. An important topic of discussion was the General Shareholders’ Meetings of 2019 and 2020. The CCAN also worked on the Natixis Shareholders’ Meeting with Valentin Germain, a senior consultant at Capitalcom (a firm that specializes in monitoring shareholders’ meetings). Members of the CCAN also requested information from Nathalie Bricker concerning the multi-boutique model used in Asset Management. In keeping with our focus on corporate social responsibility across V all Natixis’ businesses, as presented at the General Shareholder’s Meeting of May 28, 2019, Natixis Global Head of Environment & Social Responsibility (CSR) Louis Douady provided detailed information on the “Green Weighting Factor,” which Natixis is using to speed up the transition to a low-carbon economy. Louis Douady noted that the Natixis Green Weighting Factor is a concrete, innovative system for allocating capital to each financing project according to its impact on the climate. The CCAN also met twice with Natixis Head of Investor Relations V Damien Souchet to discuss the financial results, the 2018-2020 New Dimension strategic plan as well as changes in the share price (context, impact of analyst ratings and other events influencing the share price). At the Committee’s request, Natixis Head of Press Relations and V Social Media Daniel Wilson gave a presentation on the Group’s press relations and social media. He reiterated that the New Dimension strategic plan treats the brand as a strategic lever in raising the profile of Natixis both in France and abroad. In addition, on two separate occasions the Committee worked on V the project to redesign the Natixis website, particularly the “Investors and Shareholders” section. Some members also took part in user tests. This work was carried out jointly with Natixis’ Communications department. Finally, following on from the 2018 workshop on the glossary of V financial terms, in 2019 the CCAN finalized the document, which aims to answer shareholder questions about financial terminology and now features more than 400 definitions. All topics discussed, meeting minutes and videos of member V presentations are available on the website.
