Combined General Meeting and Board of Directors Meeting

of April 30, 2025

Paris, France – April 30, 2025

The Combined General Meeting of Viridien, chaired by Mr. Philippe SALLE was held on April 30, 2025 in Paris. The voting results and video replay of the event will be available on the Company’s website at the following address: https://www.viridiengroup.com/investors/shareholders/general-meetings.

The General Meeting approved all resolutions that were submitted to it and notably:

The statutory financial statements and consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2024;
Appointment of DELOITTE & ASSOCIES, in replacement of ERNST & YOUNG et Autres, as statutory auditor in charge of certifying financial statements;
Appointment of BDO PARIS, in replacement of MAZARS, as statutory auditor in charge of certifying financial statements;
The Appointment of BDO PARIS as statutory auditors in charge of certifying the sustainability information;
The Say on Pay resolutions on the remuneration of corporate officers;
The renewals of Mr. Philippe SALLE, Mrs. Anne-France LACLIDE-DROUIN and Mr. Michael DALY’s term as Director for a period of four years and the co-optation of Mrs. Amélie OYARZABAL as Director.

The Board of Directors, at its meeting following the General Meeting, appointed:

Mrs. Sophie ZURQUIYAH as Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer until the end of her term of office as director at the latest, i.e. until the Annual General Meeting of 2026,
Mr. Philippe SALLE as Vice-Chairman and Lead Independent Director.

The Board also noted the end of Patrick CHOUPIN’s term of office as Director representing the employees. As the Company no longer exceeds the headcount thresholds requiring the appointment of a director representing the employees, no new director representing the employees will be appointed. The Board thanks Patrick CHOUPIN for his valuable insights, bringing the employees’ view to the Board room.

The Board of Directors therefore comprises 8 directors, of whom 87.5% are independent and 50% are women. The Board is composed of:

Sophie ZURQUIYAH, Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer
Philippe SALLE*, Vice-Chairman and Lead Independent Director
Michael DALY*
Olivier JOUVE*

“On behalf of the Board of Directors, I extend our heartfelt gratitude to Philippe SALLE for his exceptional leadership and vision.
