Meeting of the Company to be held on 22 December 2023.
The new Board of Directors will determine the membership of its
Committees.
After the Groupement Capital Increase and the Rights Issue, the
members of the Groupement (who have declared that they are acting
in concert) will hold 50.2% of the Company's share capital and
voting rights.
As a result, they will be able to pass or reject all resolutions
submitted to shareholders for approval during Ordinary General
Meetings, as well as, if they were to hold at least two-thirds of
the voting rights expressed at an Extraordinary General Meeting,
the resolutions submitted to that meeting.
Furthermore, the proportion of independent directors on the
Board will be less than one third, not complying with the
recommendation of the AFEP-MEDEF Code. In addition, the composition
of the Audit Committee and the Appointments and Remuneration
Committee may not comply with the recommendations of the AFEP-MEDEF
Code.
The failure to comply with these recommendations results from
the governance agreed in the context of the entry of the Groupement
in the Company’s share capital, given its majority stake, and
approved by the Nanterre Specialised Commercial Court under its
approval of the Company's accelerated safeguard plan.
Finally, the following measures are designed to mitigate the
risk of control of the Group being exercised in an abusive manner:
on the one hand, the Board of Directors is chaired by an
independent director and comprises 3 independent directors out of
11 directors (excluding directors representing employees) and on
the other hand, the Board of Directors' internal rules include
rules to prevent potential conflicts of interest.

Founded in 1934 by and for its members, it has grown while
remaining true to its founding values of solidarity, responsibility
and respect for the individual. As a mutual organisation, it has no
share capital and no shareholders to remunerate. Its members are
insurers collectively and insureds individually.

(société à mission), thus inscribing and affirming its mission of
serving the collective interest, based on genuine support for all
of its stakeholders.
Its mission includes a commitment to the following social and
environmental objectives:
- placing the interests of its
member-policyholders at the heart of its activities; - encouraging,

stakeholders in a spirit of collective engagement; - contributing

responsibility for resolving the environmental and social
challenges of our time. He shared this conviction in a book
entitled L'entreprise du XXIème siècle sera politique ou ne sera
plus, published in June 2019 by Editions de l'Aube. In it, he
describes MAIF's original and sustainable business model: from its
adoption of mission-led status in 2020, to a number of recent
high-profile initiatives, such as reimbursing car premiums during
the health crisis and creating an environmental dividend. He
readily shares his experience with other companies, for example by
chairing the mission committees of Doctolib and KPMG.
In January 2022, he published a report in partnership with the
Fondation Jean Jaurès, setting out 12 proposals for regulations
that would encourage all companies to commit to the ecological and
social transition. As an extension of these ideas, he became
Co-Chairman of the Impact France movement in May 2023.
