EDF corporate governance

EDF is prone to fulfill the laws of listed companies and the specific rules of apublic sector entity. Both sets of rules have to be combined.

In practice, the conciliation raises no difficulty:

For instance, EDF decided in December 2008 to refer to the AFEP*-MEDEF**recommendations of October 2008 as corporate governance code :

Annual report on the evolution of board's functionning; entrusted to an external firm every threeyears. Regular update of the Board of Directors rules of procedure.

The board has appointed all the appropriate committees

Moreover, EDF is compliant with internal control procedures COSO***

Rating and annual report for sustainable development

In-house group-wide policy : Group social responsability agreement, Groupsustainable development policy, Environmental management systems

*AFEP: French listed companies association . **MEDEF: French companies association***COSO: Committee of Sponsoring Organizations

As a conclusion…

No conflict in being a listed company operating in competitivemarkets and having the State as major shareholder
