In this Universal Registration Document (the “Universal Registration Document”), unless otherwise stated, the terms “Company” and “EDF” refer to Électricité de FranceSA, and the terms “EDF group” and “Group” refer to EDF and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

In addition to the information contained in this Universal Registration Document, investors should carefully consider the risk factors described in chapter 2 (“Risk factors and control framework”). These risks, or one of these risks, could negatively impact the Group's business, position, financial results or outlook. Furthermore, other risks not yet identified or considered as material by the Group, could have the same negative impact, and investors could consequently lose all or part of their investment in the Company.

This Universal Registration Document also contains information relating to the markets in which the EDF group operates. This information has been taken from surveys carried out by external sources. Given the rapid changes affecting the energy sector in France and throughout the world, it is possible that this information could prove to be erroneous or no longer up-to-date on the filing date of this Universal Registration Document or thereafter. The Group's activities may therefore evolve in a manner different to that described in this Universal Registration Document, and the declarations or information presented in this Universal Registration Document may prove to be erroneous.

Forward-looking statements in this Universal Registration Document, specifically in section 1.3 (“Group Strategy”), could also be impacted by risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the future income, performance and achievements of the Group to differ significantly from the objectives expressed and suggested. These Factors may include changes in the economic and commercial environment, in regulations, as well as factors set forth in chapter 2 (“Risk factors and control framework”).

Pursuant to French and European legislation, RTE and Enedis, regulated subsidiaries managed independently within the meaning of the French Energy Code, respectively responsible for the transmission and distribution of electricity within the EDF group, are not allowed to communicate certain information they gather while conducting their activities to other Group entities, including its Management. Similarly, certain data specific to Generation and supply activities cannot be communicated to the entities responsible for transmission and distribution. This Universal Registration Document has been prepared by the EDF group in compliance with these rules. For the sake of brevity, further references in this Universal Reference Document made to RTE and Enedis will not always specify their independent nature as within the meaning of the French Energy Code.

A glossary of the main technical terms is provided at the end of this Universal Registration Document.
