INFORMATION RELATING TO THE GENERAL MEETING OF EDF
SHAREHOLDERS OF 6 MAY 2021
Given the exceptional circumstances related to
the health crisis, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EDF,
upon delegation of the Board of Directors, has decided that the
combined Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company, scheduled on 6 May
2021 and initially convened with the participation of its
shareholders, will finally be held without the physical attendance
of its members.
This decision follows, in particular, the Decree
No. 2021-255 of 9 March 2021, which extended until 31 July 2021 the
application period of the Ordinance No. 2020-321 of 25 March 2020,
as amended, and Decree No. 2020-418 of 10 April 2020, as amended,
adapting the rules for meetings and deliberations of collective
corporate bodies of legal persons and entities that are not legal
entities under private law, due to the Covid-19 epidemic.
The administrative measures limiting or
prohibiting travel or collective gatherings, the closure of
conference and meeting rooms and the obligation to comply with
physical distancing measures, with regard to the number of persons
which are usually present at the previous Shareholders' Meetings,
prevent the physical presence of shareholders at the meeting of 6
May 2021.
Under these conditions, the Shareholders'
Meeting will be broadcast in live on the Company's website
(www.edf.fr) and the video will also be available on replay within
the period provided for by the regulations. Shareholders are
invited to exercise their voting rights by mail, by internet or by
granting a proxy to the Chairman of the Shareholders' Meeting or
any person of their choice. The procedures for voting by post will
be described in the convening notice which will be published by EDF
in the Bulletin des Annonces Légales Obligatoires.
In addition, the Board of Directors, on its
meeting of 8 April, modified the agenda of the Shareholders'
Meeting and decided to propose to the Shareholders’ Meeting the
renewal of four directors whose terms of office are expiring.
Therefore, it will be proposed to the shareholders to renew for a
period of four years the terms of office of Marie-Christine
Lepetit, Head of the Inspectorate General of Finance, Colette
Lewiner, professional Director, Michèle Rousseau, Chair of
BRGM and François Delattre, General Secretary of the French
Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. The Board noted at this
meeting that the process of selecting an independent director to be
proposed to the shareholders to replace Laurence Parisot was still
ongoing. Laurence Parisot had indeed indicated at a previous Board
meeting that given her functions as Chairwoman and Managing
Director of Citi France, she could no longer serve as director
within the Board of Directors of EDF. In order to continue the
selection process for a new director in the best possible
conditions, the Board of Directors therefore decided to postpone
the proposal for the appointment of a new director to a subsequent
Shareholders’ Meeting.
The Board of Directors thanks Laurence Parisot
for her contribution to the work of the Board.
Finally, the French State and the « Fonds
Actions EDF » have been appointed as scrutineers of the combined
Shareholder’s Meeting of the Company in accordance with the
provisions of Decree no. 2020-418 of 10 April 2020, as amended, and
will attend the Shareholders’ Meeting.
