On the date of filing of this Universal Registration Document, the Board of Directors has eighteen members:

The Government Commissioner(2), the Head of the French State General Economic & Financial Supervisory Mission to the Company(3) and the Secretary of the Central Social & Economic Committee attend the meetings of the Board of Directors, but are not entitled to vote. However, in accordance with Article L. 311-5-7 of the French Energy Code, the Government Commissioner is informed of the investment decisions and may oppose decisions, the realisation of which would be inconsistent with the objectives of the strategic plan prepared by the Company or with those of the multi-year energy programme (see section 1.5.1.2 “Public service in France”).
