Proposed renewals at the 2021 Annual G.2.3.1.2 General Meeting At the next General Shareholders’ Meeting, upon recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the shareholders will be asked to vote on the renewal of: Ms. Agnès Audier, Ms. Danielle Lagarde, Mr. Daniel ● Schmucki, Ms. Nazan Somer Özelgin, Mr. Lorenz von Habsburg Lothringen as Directors, and Mr. Johannes Dijsselhof as Censor. ● It is specified that the key points concerning the objectives and legal constraints in terms of gender diversity, nationality and independence are reviewed and taken into consideration in the framework of these renewal proposals. As part of the review of candidates for renewal, the Nomination Committee and the Board of Directors re-examined the profile of candidates, their experience and skills useful to the Board, particularly in the areas of CSR, and also ensured that members whose terms of office are coming up for renewal do not hold an excessive number of directorships in listed

companies, thus enabling them to devote the necessary time and attention to their duties. The Board also took into account their valuable contribution to the work of the Board and their very high individual attendance rates showing their commitment. The reasons which led the Board, on the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, to propose the renewal of these candidates as Directors and non-voting Directors are set out in detail in the explanatory memorandum to the resolutions of the Board of Directors contained in the notice of meeting for the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on May 20, 2021.
