Dividends G.5.2

The Group aims to distribute dividends representing approximately 25% of its consolidated net income, to the extent that it is compatible with the implementation of the Group’s external growth policy. Compliant with this policy, no dividends were paid in 2018, 2019, nor 2020. During its meeting held on February 23, 2021

and considering the strategic priority given by the Group in 2021 to pursue its development and which requires Worldline to preserve its financial leeway, the Board of Directors has decided to propose to the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders not to distribute any dividend on the 2020

results.
