Availability of documents and information

for the Combined Ordinary and

Extraordinary Shareholders' meeting of

April 29, 2021

Accor SA (the "Company"), whose shares are listed on Euronext Paris, announces that its Combined Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' meeting will take place on Thursday, April 29, 2021, at 10:00 a.m., at its headquarters in Issy-les-Moulineaux (France).

****

How to participate?

It is reminded that the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as authorized by the Board of Directors, decided that exceptionally, the Annual Shareholders' Meeting will be held "behind closed doors" without the physical presence of shareholders and other persons having the rights to attend, in order to be compliant with the administrative measures prohibiting or limiting movement or public meetings for health reasons.

Indeed, the lockdown measures and movement restrictions currently in force prevent the physical presence at the Annual Shareholders' Meeting of its members. Moreover, if these measures were lifted on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting, the capacity of the meeting room (auditorium) at the Company's headquarters (being the place chosen for holding the Shareholders' Meeting) would not allow the number of potential participants to be accommodated in compliance with the sanitary and social distancing measures referred to in the aforementioned regulations.

The terms and conditions governing participation in the Annual Shareholders' Meeting, presented in the 2021 Notice of Meeting available on the Company's website (group.accor.com), therefore take the exceptional situation linked to the current health crisis into account and, in particular, the provisions of French Order No. 2020-321 of March 25, 2020 (as extended and amended by French Order No. 2020-1497 of December 2, 2020 and French Decree No. 2021-255 of March 9, 2021) and French Decree No. 2020-418 of April 10, 2020 (as extended and amended by French Decrees No. 2020-1614 of December 18, 2020 and No. 2021-255 of March 9, 2021).

The Annual Shareholders' Meeting will be broadcast live on the Company's website and the webcast will also be available within the timeframe provided by regulations. It should be noted that shareholders will not be able to vote live or express themselves by audio or video conference call due to the technical impossibility of identifying them.

Shareholders are reminded that, as a consequence, they may only exercise their right to vote remotely and prior to the Shareholders' Meeting. The Shareholders' Meeting being held behind closed doors, it will not be possible for shareholders to propose new resolutions or amendments to resolutions on the agenda during the Meeting.

However, shareholders may ask their questions on April 29, 2021, during the Shareholders' Meeting through the live chat, which will be active in the Meeting Webcast and accessible via the Company's website. Questions will be answered within the given timeframe.
