(*) Covid 19 Notification

In accordance with Article 4 of Order n° 2020-321 of March 25, 2020 and Decree n° 2020-1310 of October 29, 2020 as modified and extended, the board of directors of SCOR decided that the combined general meeting will be held behind closed doors without the shareholders and other persons entitled to attend in person.

Various administrative measures prohibiting or limiting for health reasons the travels or the public gatherings are indeed impeding, at the date of convening of the general meeting, the physical presence of the general meeting's members. Consequently, neither shareholders nor their proxies will be able to attend the meeting, whether in person, by telephone or audiovisual conference.

Exceptionally, the general meeting taking place without the physical presence of the shareholders and the vote being remote, the shareholders will not be able to propose new resolutions or amendments during the general meeting. The shareholders can ask questions in writing during the meeting via the webcast. It is recalled that the shareholders have also the option to send written questions to the Company subject to the conditions provided for below. The shareholders are also encouraged to focus on the transmission of all their requests and documents electronically to the address mentioned below.

Under these conditions, no admission card shall be issued and the shareholders will be able to exercise their right to vote only remotely and prior to the general meeting. The Company encourages its shareholders to use the Votaccess voting website to exercise their voting rights.

The shareholders' meeting will be broadcast live and will also be available for replay on the Company's website (https://www.scor.com/en/shareholders-meetings).

In the evolving context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Company may have to modify the modalities of the holding and participation to the General Meeting of June 30, 2021, depending on the evolution of the health and/or legal situations.

Shareholders are invited to consult regularly the web page dedicated to the 2021 Shareholders' Meeting on the Company's website (https://www.scor.com/en/shareholders-meetings), which will be updated to specify, if necessary, the definitive terms and conditions of participation in this Shareholders' Meeting and/or to adapt them to legislative, regulatory and health-related developments that may occur after the publication of this document.
