REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of the Procter & Gamble Holding France SAS Group Profit Sharing, Incentive and Employer Contribution Plan (France)

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Procter & Gamble Holding France SAS Group Profit Sharing, Incentive and Employer Contribution Plan (France) (the "Plan") as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

GROUP PROFIT SHARING, INCENTIVE AND EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION PLAN (FRANCE)


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2021 AND FOR THE YEARS ENDING JUNE 30, 2020 AND 2019

1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following brief description of Procter & Gamble Holding France S.A.S. Group Profit Sharing, Incentive and Employer Contribution Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information only. Participants should refer to the Plan Document and their country’s Plan supplement for more complete information.

General — The Plan is an employee savings plan established on December 17, 1990 by agreement between Procter & Gamble S.A. (Procter & Gamble S.A. changed its name to Procter & Gamble Services France and then to Procter & Gamble Services Neuilly before its current name Procter & Gamble Holding France S.A.S.) together with its directly wholly-owned subsidiaries (with the exception of P&G Health France, ex Merck Medication Familiale that is not part of this agreement yet), and those subsidiaries’ respective Work councils, in order to provide a means for eligible employees to save and invest their income, group profit sharing, and incentive remuneration. The most recent Plan agreement took effect on January 1, 2015 and was signed by Procter & Gamble Holding France S.A.S., Procter & Gamble France S.A.S., Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals France S.A.S., Procter & Gamble Amiens S.A.S., Procter & Gamble Blois S.A.S (together, “P&G France”) and their related Work councils .  An amendment to the Plan to increase the Employer’s matching contribution was implemented as of FY 18/19, signed by the same parties. On July 1st 2021, Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals France has been legally merged with P&G Health France SAS with a retroactive effect on July 1st 2020 from a Tax and Local statutory accounting standpoint. As a result, Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals France has left the Plan agreement as of July 1st 2020.

In addition to the Plan, a collective Pension Savings plan (“PERCO”) was established for Procter & Gamble Holding France S.A.S and the following subsidiaries: Procter & Gamble France S.A.S., Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals France S.A.S, Procter & Gamble Blois S.A.S, and Procter & Gamble Seine S.A.S (which was merged with Procter & Gamble Holding France in February 2018). Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals has left the PERCO plan in July 2020 as a result of the merger with P&G Health France SAS. The PERCO is in place since January 1st 2013 for the aforementioned entities and was established in June 2016 for Procter & Gamble Amiens S.A.S.

Procter & Gamble Holding France S.A.S. is indirectly a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Procter & Gamble Company (the “Parent”). The Plan and the PERCO are subject to the laws and regulations of France. The assets of the Plan and of the PERCO are invested in five “Fonds Commun de Placement d’Entreprise” (“FCPE”) which are registered investment funds reserved to employees of “P&G France” subject to the laws and regulations of France. The plan’s financial statements are a combination of the 5 FCPE.

Administration Administration of the Plan and of the PERCO are executed by Procter & Gamble Holding France S.A.S. with the support of Natixis Investments Managers International (previously Natixis Asset Management), the fund manager. The five FCPE are under the supervision of the Conseils de Surveillance (“Monitoring Committees”) which are composed of both employee and employer representatives of “P&G France”.

Participants Accounts and Investments Options — An account is maintained for each employee and reflects employee and employer contributions as well as employee withdrawals. There is no provision for the allocation of income since the FCPE’s do not pay dividends. Participants are permitted to invest into any of the five FCPE’s; however, employees contributions generating a P&G matching contribution can only be invested in FCPE Groupe Procter & Gamble (Option D). Amounts may be transferred from one FCPE to another FCPE for both blocked and available funds with the exception of FCPE Groupe Procter & Gamble (Option D) out of which only unblocked funds may be transferred.


6


Participants may allocate their account balances to one or all of the following investment options offered by the Plan:

FCPE Groupe Procter & Gamble Actions (Option A) – The prospectus indicates that this fund is primarily invested in securities or in mutual funds which invest with a minimum of 60% in International securities and with a maximum of 40% in International interest rate products.

FCPE Groupe Procter & Gamble Obligations (Option B) – The prospectus indicates that this fund is primarily invested in Eurozone monetary products or in mutual funds which invest primarily in Eurozone monetary products.

FCPE Groupe Procter & Gamble 5000 (Option C) – The prospectus indicates that this fund is primarily invested in securities or in mutual funds invested at least at 90% in securities (Europe, United States, Asia and emerging countries) and with a maximum of 10% invested in Eurozone monetary products.

FCPE Groupe Procter & Gamble (Option D) – The prospectus indicates that this fund is invested at least at 90% in The Procter & Gamble Company common stock and with a maximum of 10% invested in US/Euro zone monetary products.

FCPE Groupe Procter & Gamble (Option F) – The prospectus indicates that this fund is invested at 80% in International bonds or in mutual funds which invest in International bonds, at 20% in “socially responsible investment” Euro bonds or in mutual funds which invest in “socially responsible” Euro bonds.

For the PERCO, investments in Option D are not possible. The other Options are accessible at the discretion of the employee.

Contribution and Vesting Employees are eligible to the Plan three months after their start date with “P&G France”. Contributions are made by Plan participants as well as by “P&G France” as follows:

Employees’ Contributions:

- Voluntary, periodic contributions – These are usually contributed on a monthly basis. They are eligible for matching contributions from P&G France. These contributions are automatically invested in Option D.

- Voluntary, complementary contributions – Employees may make complementary contributions whenever they wish although these amounts receive no matching contributions. These contributions are invested at the discretion of the employee in one of the five FCPE’s.

Employers’ Contributions:

- Employer matching contributions – P&G France makes a matching contribution between 50 and 100 percent, based on employees’ voluntary periodic contributions, with a maximum threshold of € 157.50. These matching contributions are automatically invested in Option D.

- Profit Sharing – P&G France calculates and distributes profit sharing contributions according to French law (“Participation”) as well as a supplementary profit-sharing agreement (“Interessement”). These amounts are invested at the discretion of the employee in one of the five FCPE’s. If no investment direction is given by the employee, amounts are automatically invested either as per the last investment choice or, by default, in Option B (with a 50/50 split between PEE and PERCO for “Participation”, and 100% to PEE for “Interessement”.

All contributions are immediately 100 percent vested.


7


Contributions to the PERCO can be made by the employees through i) voluntary periodic contributions, ii) investment of the profit sharing contribution and iii) investment of remaining vacation days (up to 10 per fiscal year) for which “P&G France” will contribute under certain age conditions.

Withdrawals — All contributions to the Plan are “blocked” for a period of five years beginning on October 1st of the calendar year in which the contribution was made. After this period, amounts are available for withdrawal without restriction. Under certain circumstances, as defined by law, a participant may withdraw “blocked” contributions. All amounts become immediately available for withdrawal upon the termination of employment.

Plan Termination – The Plan agreement was renewed by written agreement between “P&G France” and their related Work councils in December 2014 with effective date January 1st, 2015 for an indefinite period.
In the event of Plan termination, the FCPE’s will either remain active or will be merged with other FCPE’s. Thus, Plan participants will have the option to withdraw “unblocked” amounts or to remain invested. Future employee and employer contributions to the Plan would then be suspended.

2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting — The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Employer and participant’s contributions reflect the estimated total investments in the Plan, based on prior year behavior.
Risks and Uncertainties — The Plan utilizes various investment instruments as described in Note 1. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Plan Investments – The Plan’s investments are presented at fair-value based upon the net asset value of the units of each FCPE held by the Plan at year end. The net asset values of the FCPE’s are determined by the fund manager, Natixis Asset Management, based upon the fair value of the FCPE’s underlying investments, less any liabilities.
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined using average cost.
Fair value measurements – ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, established a single authoritative definition of fair value, set as a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the Plan classifies its investments into Level 1, which refers to securities valued using quoted prices from active markets for identical assets; Level 2 which refers to securities not traded on an active market but for which observable market inputs are readily available; and Level 3, which refers to securities valued based on significant unobservable inputs. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table sets forth by level within the hierarchy a summary of the Plan’s investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2021.
