those relating to the unchanged remuneration of the Chief Executive

The Board of Directors warmly thanks Patricia Hewitt and

office expire at the end of the General Meeting, for a period of
four years, as well as the renewal of Perrette Rey’s term of office
for a period of one year. Subject to the renewal of his term of
office as Director by the General Meeting, the Board of Directors
will decide on the renewal of Jacques Gounon's term of office as
Chairman of the Board of Directors.
In addition, in order to maintain strong credentials in
geostrategic issues and British public affairs, the Board has
decided to propose to the General Meeting the appointment of Lord
Ricketts, a former UK Ambassador to France and a member of the UK
House of Lords, as a member of the Getlink Board of Directors for a
period of four years.
As an extension of its commitment to energy transition, the
Board has decided to propose to the General Meeting the appointment
of Brune Poirson as a member of the Getlink Board of Directors for
a period of four years. Brune Poirson, a French former minister who
has always been committed to sustainable development, will bring to
the Board of Directors her expertise, particularly in environmental
matters. She will contribute to expanding the Board's work on the
Group's sustainable development strategy and related action
plans.

a resolution to shareholders for a Say on Climate advisory vote on
Getlink's ambition and targets for the transition to carbon
neutrality.
