Chairman's

foreword

Dear Shareholders,

2020 will remain for the whole world a year of unprecedented health crisis with major economic consequences.

Unlike the previous crises that the Group went through - which were of economic origin - this one surprised us by attacking us on the health plan, forcing us to review our priorities within a very short time.

In this difficult context, the Group recorded very satisfactory results which demonstrate the relevance of its model.

The Group has also stayed on course for the long term by pursuing its external growth strategy with agility with the acquisition of StoreBound, an expert in online community management.

All this could not have been possible without the strength, courage and commitment of all of our employees who have all contributed to getting through this crisis. They have also been able to demonstrate, everywhere in the world, a unique outpouring of solidarity and generosity and I want to thank them once again.

Like last year, unfortunately, I will not be able to meet you in person on this occasion, which is traditionally a special time for dialog and information. I invite you to follow the live video broadcast of this meeting on the Group's corporate website and to send us your questions, either prior to this meeting, by mail or email, or directly on the day of the meeting.

It is also important that many of you decide on the resolutions presented, through remote voting, which will be the only way to express your vote or give your proxy to the Chairman or to a third party.

I wish you and your loved ones all the best, looking forward to meeting you again soon.

Thank you for your trust and loyalty.

Thierry de La Tour d'Artaise

Chairman and CEO
