The Meeting was held without the physical presence of the shareholders due to
the health context and was broadcasted live on the website www.engie.com.

Shareholders approved the appointment of Catherine MacGregor to the Board of
Directors. Among the two candidates representing employee shareholders, the
choice fell on Jacinthe Delage who received the highest number of votes.

Stéphanie Besnier was also appointed as the French State's representative on
the Board of Directors by ministerial order dated 19 May 2021, replacing
Isabelle Bui.

With these appointments, the Board is now composed of 14 members, 60% of whom
are independent according to the rules of the Afep-Medef code, and 43% are
women (50% within the meaning of the relevant legislation).

The other resolutions, notably those on the financial statements and income
allocation for the 2020 financial year, were also approved. The dividend was
set at 0.53 euro per share and will be paid on 26 May.

To encourage the dialogue with the Group, and in addition to the legal
provisions for written questions, shareholders were able to send questions via
a dedicated online platform, including during the meeting. The Chairman and
General Management answered these questions on the basis of a representative
selection of topics raised by shareholders.

17,580 shareholders voted remotely or gave their proxy to the Chairman or to a
third party, representing 68.9% of share capital and 72.3% of voting rights.
All of the resolutions validated by the Board of Directors have been approved.
The details of the votes are available on the website

declared: " Our shareholders welcomed the strategic roadmap presented by
Catherine MacGregor. It repositioned ENGIE on a path of sustainable growth
supported by accelerated development in renewables and distributed energy
infrastructures. Heading towards Net Zero Carbon in 2045, and by resolutely
directing its investments towards key activities of the energy transition, the
Group confirms its commitment to the climate and its desire to play a leading
role in the energy transition. I congratulate Catherine, her Executive
Committee and all ENGIE employees for the successful launch of this new stage."
