Context of publication of the NewCo financial statements for the period from January 1 to August 31, 2017, in line with the launch of tax consolidation on September 1, 2017

The NewCo capital increase reserved for the French State in the amount of 2.5 billion euros was completed on July 26, 2017. This operation resulted in AREVA SA's holding in NewCo's capital being reduced from 100% to 44.4% and, accordingly, led to the removal of the NewCo sub-group from the scope of the consolidated tax group initially created around AREVA SA.

Consequently, and in order to establish the scope of the French tax consolidation group around NewCo from September 1, 2017, NewCo's Combined Shareholders' Meeting of July 27, 2017 resolved to temporarily modify the closing date of the fiscal year by setting an early closing of August 31, 2017 for the fiscal year opened January 1, 2017 (period lasting eight months), with a return to the closing date of 31 December as of the fiscal period starting September 1, 2017 (period lasting four months).

In this context, NewCo has prepared the statutory and consolidated financial statements for the year opened January 1, 2017 and ended August 31, 2017. These financial statements were approved by NewCo's Board of Directors, meeting today, chaired by Philippe Varin.

At the closing on December 31, 2017, NewCo will draw up statutory and consolidated financial statements for the period from September 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 covering the full year 2017, i.e. a period of 12 months, will also be prepared on a voluntary basis.

All the financial statements prepared by NewCo in respect of 2017 will be approved at a single General Meeting to be held in May 2018. A request to extend the deadline for the Annual Ordinary General Meeting called to approve NewCo's financial statements for the period ended August 31, 2017, will be made to the President of the Nanterre Commercial Court.
