                      Information regarding a cyberattack

During the night of February 18 to 19, Groupe Beneteau detected a malware
intrusion affecting some of its servers. As a precautionary measure, all of the
information systems were disconnected in order to prevent it from spreading.

Several production units, notably in France, will  have  to slow  down or stop
their production activities for a few days.

Accompanied by experts and the relevant authorities, the Group's teams are
fully mobilized to address the consequences of this attack. Firstly, the
deployment of a backup application and systems will  enable activities to start
up again securely, but in degraded mode. Alongside this, investigations will
continue moving forward with a view to fully restoring all of the Group's
systems.

At this stage, the impacts of this incident on EBIT are covered by the
insurance policies put in place by the Group.

Groupe Beneteau's management team would like to thank its customers and
suppliers for their understanding and support, as well as all of the Group's
teams for their responsiveness and dedication.

Further information will be published on Thursday February 25 when the Group
reports its revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020.
