#PROFILE
A major player in european transport
Getlink is a key player in mobility infrastructures, international transport and a
leader in eco-responsible transport in Europe. Getlink is committed on a daily
basis to facilitating trade, as well as the economic activity between the UK and
continental Europe and creating value for all its stakeholders, by bringing people,
business and culture together. Getlink has been capitalising on the Group’s
expertise and rail infrastructure for more than 25 years.
Getlink regroups the activities of four complementary commercial brands:
• Eurotunnel, the leader in cross-Channel transport for passengers, passenger
vehicles and trucks;
• Europorte, private rail freight operator in France;
• ElecLink, the future electrical interconnector between the United Kingdom
and France;
• CIFFCO, the number one private railway training centre.
In 2021, Getlink employs more than 3,500 staff. At the end of 2020, the sustained
performance of its revenue in the context of the Covid-19 public health crisis,
its good operational performances and the very long-term Concession of the
Channel Tunnel until 2086, once again demonstrate the effectiveness and
resilience of its business model.
Every year (reference year 2019, excluding the Covid-19 public health crisis),
the Group transports more than 21 million passengers, 1.6 million trucks, 2.6
million cars, 26% of trade in goods between the United Kingdom and continental
Europe, 1.8 billion tonnes-kilometres of freight, and soon, 1GW electricity.
In 2021, Getlink is:
• A group which is performing and competitive, despite the health crisis
• A customer-orientated-group
• A group respectful of the environment
• An innovative group with a definite focus on digitalisation
• A group sustainably anchored at the heart of dynamic local areas.
The Getlink SE share, GET, is listed on Euronext Paris.

GOVERNANCE
Change in governance structure in 2020
The governance structure of Getlink evolves in order to support the overall vision for the development
of the Group. It is based on a separation of the functions of the Chairman and CEO with a new Chief
Executive Officer and a responsible and highly experienced Board of Directors which is also international,
diversified and renewed in its composition enabling it to set long-term strategic orientation and to oversee
its implementation.
SEPARATION OF EXECUTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES (since 1st July 2020)
Chairman of the Chief Executive Officer
Board of Directors Yann Leriche
Jacques Gounon
Getlink’s Board of Directors has confirmed its choice of a governance model that ensures the separation of
executive and chairman responsibilities, in line with best practice in corporate governance. The separation
of functions enables Getlink to benefit from both the skills of the Chief Executive Officer, combined with
his knowledge and expertise in the international transport and mobility sector in the broadest sense, and
from the international stature of the Chairman and his credibility and experience in binational relations,
particularly in the context of the implementation of Brexit.
The complementary profiles of Jacques Gounon and Yann Leriche, particularly in a situation of pandemic
and Brexit, have allowed a balanced and complementary distribution of the respective roles of the Chairman
and the Chief Executive Officer, while respecting the bi-national culture of the Company and its values. This
separation of functions allows Yann Leriche to devote himself fully to the development of the company, while
benefiting from the knowledge of the Group and its environment that Jacques Gounon acquired during his
years as Chairman and CEO.
The Board of Directors praised the involvement of the Chief Executive Officer since he took office, the
remarkable results of the measures he has led to deal with the Covid-19 crisis, as well as the efficient
functioning of the ‘dissociated’ tandem structure since 1st July, and the relationship of trust and mutual
respect established between the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer. On 28 April 2021, Yann Leriche
joined the Board of Directors of Getlink.
This new structure, combined with the gradual rotation of Board members, further enhances the efficiency
and agility of the Board’s operations.

Shareholders event: Eurotunnel site visits
Organised by Getlink, the Eurotunnel site visits enable shareholders to discover the business activities, behind-
the-scenes at the Channel Tunnel, the terminal, the service tunnel, the maintenance area as well as the new
installations created for Brexit. In October 2019, these visits represented a great opportunity to exchange
views and for convivial meetings between a hundred of individual shareholders and some representatives
of the Group. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the associated health and safety requirements, these site
visits have been postponed in the interests of protecting both shareholders and staff. We shall communicate
on this subject when we are again able to organise these events in the best possible conditions.

DIVIDEND
The dividend is the portion of the Group’s net profit that is distributed to shareholders. Its amount is set by
shareholders at the General Meeting, on a proposal from the Board of Directors.
Getlink pursues a policy of returning dividends to its shareholders as defined by the Board of Directors. In
general, it takes into account the economic context, the Group’s investment needs and any other factors
deemed relevant.
In 2021, given the impact of the Covid-19 health crisis but confident in its long-term prospects, the Group
confirms its commitment to shareholder return and has proposed to resume the distribution of a dividend
of €0.05 per share for the 2020 financial year as approved by the General Meeting on 28 April 2021. As a
reminder, the Board of Directors of Getlink had decided in March 2020, as a precautionary measure due to
the Covid-19 health crisis, and in view of a general trend, not to propose at its General Meeting the payment
in 2020 of the dividend in respect of the 2019 financial year.
To be sure of receiving the dividend on a share, it is important to distinguish between the ex-dividend date
and the date of payment of the Company:
Ex-dividend date: to qualify for the dividend, the shareholder must hold the shares at the closure of the
markets on the eve of the ex-dividend date.
Date of payment: it is the day on which the amount of the dividend is credited to the account or to the PEA
(share savings plan). The period between the ex-dividend date and the date of payment is variable each year.
What steps should I take to receive the dividend?
You don’t have to do anything.
• If you hold directly registered shares or CDIs, the dividend is credited directly into your bank account
by the Group (through Société Générale Securities Services or Computershare Investor Services). If
necessary, you should contact Société Générale Securities Services or Computershare Investor Services
to let them have your up to date bank details.
• If you hold indirectly registered (administered) or bearer shares, the Group (through Société Générale
Securities Services) distributes the dividend to your bank who will then credit your account.

#FORM OF SHARES
You can hold GET ordinary shares in:
• registered form, or
• bearer form.
In the UK, you may hold Crest Depository Interest (CDI).
Registered shares
There are two ways in which shareholders may hold registered shares:
Directly registered shares (or pure registered form)
If your shares are directly registered, these shares are registered with Getlink SE and held in an account in
your name with Société Générale Securities Services who manages the shares on the Company’s behalf.
Advantages
• Automatic mailing of general documentation relating to general meetings and simplified procedures for
attending the meetings,
• Facility of voting online before the general meeting,
• No custodial fees,
• Option to benefit from the single travel privilege scheme for crossing onboard Le Shuttle, for which you
can find all information on the Travel privileges page.
Disadvantages
In France, it is possible to transfer shares held in a PEA share savings plan to directly registered shares,
although some practical difficulties may arise: the legal system governing the PEA plan ensures that shares
remain in the PEA whilst classified as directly registered. This means that some financial institutions reject
them, impose specific provisions or invoice additional management fees which diminishes one of the main
benefits of holding directly registered shares compared to indirectly registered shares.
A shareholder with directly registered shares in more than one company will receive one annual statement
(tax declaration, dividend payment statement) for each company, which can complicate somewhat the
managment of his/her portfolio.
Indirectly registered (or administered) shares
If your shares are indirectly registered, these shares are registered with Getlink SE but your account is held
by your financial intermediary, who remains your contact for all routine portfolio transactions. You hold only
one account for all shares you hold.
Bearer shares
Bearer shares are held in a share account with a financial intermediary of your choice (bank, broker...). Your
shares are not registered in your name, so Getlink SE does not know that you are a shareholder.
Crest Depository interest (CDIs)
A CDI is a UK security that represents a foreign stock traded in the UK. Shares of UK companies may be
admitted directly in the CREST electronic settlement system whereas companies incorporated in other
jurisdictions (like France) must appoint a depositary to hold their shares on trust and issue shareholders with
depository interest representing such underlying overseas shares which can be settled in the UK. Via CREST
Computershare Company Nominee Services acts as Euroclear UK & Ireland participant in the management
of CDIs. They also act as a corporate nominee for the Group’s UK CDI holders.

#GENERAL INFORMATION
Held at least once a year, a shareholders’ General Meeting may be ordinary, extraordinary or both ordinary
and extraordinary (combined).
Ordinary General Meeting
The meeting tables all decisions not requiring an extraordinary general meeting, i.e. any decision that does not
call for changing the company’s bylaws. The ordinary general meeting is to approve the financial statements
for the past year, resolve upon the distribution of dividends and/or approve the appointment or replacement
of members of the company’s corporate management structures and the Board of Directors. The meeting is
held once a year within six months of the end of the financial year for the approval of the accounts.
Extraordinary General Meeting
An extraordinary general meeting may be convened at any time. It is the only meeting authorised to make
changes to the company’s bylaws: business object, name, authorised share capital (increase, decrease,
merger, etc), type of corporate management structure.
Combined General Meeting
A meeting of this type enables decisions to be taken whether they fall within the remit of an ordinary general
meeting or an extraordinary general meeting. It avoids having to hold two consecutive meetings: both take
place on the same date and are convened using the same notice.
Quorum
The validity of the general meetings depends on the presence (or representation) of shareholders owning a
minimum number of shares, the quorum, which varies according to the nature of the general meeting: for
an extraordinary meeting, one-quarter or 25% and for an ordinary general meeting, one-fifth or 20% of the
shares with voting rights on the first notice.
Majority voting
Resolutions are voted by simple majority (50%) of the votes cast for an ordinary meeting. For an extraordinary
meeting, a two-thirds majority (66.66%) of the votes cast; abstention does not count as a vote against;
abstention is excluded from the counting of the votes cast.
