Dear shareholder,

This internaonal crisis is drawing the United Kingdom closer to Europe, which can only be good for us, and the energy crisis linked to Western sancons places us in a beer posion than the ferries, which are dependent on fuel. Not to menon ElecLink, whose final tests for connecon to the French and Brish grids are coming to an end, and which will posion itself favourably for the transport of renewable energy.

The General Meeng is a unique opportunity to review the past year, to outline the Group's strategy and, above all, to exchange views with you.

We are coming out of a year 2021 marked by the public health crisis and we have been observing an extremely worrying situaon in Ukraine since 24 February, and the human suffering that it causes.

Let us be clear: it is not a queson of us being sasfied with the consequences of this geopolical environment but, as I always do, of lucidly analysing the possible reacons and adapng ourselves to them.

2021 was marked mainly by the health crisis and the travel restricons that have had a severe impact on us. Europe has gone some way to alleviate the financial impact of the Covid crisis, and we ask the French government not to forget us when this is distributed in the future.

Since the easing of these restricons, traffic has picked up strongly. The traffic figures for the first three months of 2022 speak for themselves: 374,868 trucks (+23% vs. 1st quarter 2021) and 294,762 passenger vehicles transported (+154%). Eurostar traffic is also increasing significantly thanks in part to a very proacve relaunch of its offer. It should also be noted that the Directorate-General for compeon of the European Commission (DG COMP) gave its approval on 28 March for the Eurostar-Thalys merger. Thus strengthened, Eurostar should in me be able to expand its services, parcularly to Germany.

The General Meeng on 27 April 2022 is looking to the future. The decision taken by your Board of Directors to double the dividend is part of the convicon that we have the resources to progress.

I would like to pay a warm tribute to Jean-Pierre Trognon and Patricia Hewi, whose mandates are not renewable. You have to have seen the quality of their unfailing commitment and the relevance of their intervenons during all the years in which your Group has prospered,to know to what extent their departures mark a symbolic stage. Fortunately, we are able to submit to your vote two new directors, Lord Rickes and Brune Poirson, whose skills will be indispensable to your Board in connuing to enable the Group to progress.

Among all the resoluons put to the vote, which are classic and recur each year, we are introducing an innovaon with a "Say on Climate" proposal, namely a consultave vote on the environmental policy that we are implemenng.

Most of Getlink's acvies are "green" by nature, whether it be Le Shule, Europorte or ElecLink. Enormous progress has been made over the last 15 years in this area, but we can do more and beer. The various leers to shareholders over the years have highlighted the projects that have completed, but today we want to clearly show that we are a determined driver in the fight against climate change. As other modes of transport seem to be lagging far behind on these issues, we believe that there is a sustainable compeve advantage in our favour.

As all commentators say, we are at a pping point in many areas. I can assure you that your Board of Directors is analysing and acng with the intenon of taking advantage of all these changes.

With your support, I commit to that and look forward to our forthcoming discussions at our General Meeng.

Yours faithfully,

Jacques Gounon Chairman of Getlink
