Getlink: General Meeting on 27 April 2023

The Board of Directors, at its meeting on 22 February 2023 under the chairmanship of Jacques Gounon, decided to convene the ordinary and extraordinary general meeting of Getlink shareholders on 27 April 20231.

The Board of Directors has decided the financial resolutions that will be proposed to the shareholders at this General Meeting and those relating to the remuneration of the chief executive officer, chairman of the board and directors. It is proposed that shareholders vote on a dividend of €0.50 per share, which is five times the dividend proposed in 2022.

As already announced in 2022, the directorships of Perrette Rey and Colette Lewiner will expire at the end of this General Meeting and will not be proposed for renewal. The Board of Directors warmly thanks Perrette Rey and Colette Lewiner for the quality of their participation in the work of the Board of Directors and its committees.

As an extension of the work initiated in 2018 and the rotations organised since 2020 to ensure a harmonious renewal of the directors' term of office, the Board of Directors, noting the structural characteristics defined in its diversity policy and considering the change in its shareholding following the strengthening of Eiffage's stake in the share capital of Getlink SE, resolved to propose to the next General Meeting the appointments of Benoît de Ruffray, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eiffage, and Marie Lemarié, Chief Executive Officer of Scor Ireland and Director of Eiffage, as non- independent Directors.

These appointments will help to ensure that Getlink's Board retains strong experience in rail construction and maintenance, concessions, while strengthening expertise in finance and risk management.

The Combined General Meeting will be held in person on 27 April 2023 at 10:00 a.m. in Marcq-en- Barœul (Lille, France).
