APPENDIX: GDF SUEZ ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2012 Dividend payment in the form of cash or shares

The Combined Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of April 23, 2012 convened at 2:30 pm.
It approved the 2011 financial statements and set the total net dividend for 2011 at €1.50 per share. Taking into account the interim dividend of €0.83 net per share paid out on November 15, 2011, the balance of the dividend for 2011 was €0.67 per share.
This meeting also granted every shareholder the option to receive the dividend balance of €0.67 per share in the form of cash or shares. Each shareholder can individually opt to receive the dividend payment in either form but the chosen option will apply to the entire balance of the dividend he is owed.
The issue price of the new shares is 16,43 per share, which is equal to 90% of the average share price over the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of the Shareholder's Meeting, minus the dividend balance (€0.67) and rounded up to the next eurocent.
Shareholders who opt to receive their dividend balance in the form of shares must do so via their financial intermediary between April 25 and May 11, 2012, inclusive. If they do not exercise the option in the time allotted, the dividend will be paid only in cash. If the amount to which the shareholder is entitled is not a whole number of shares, the shareholder can only receive the immediately lower number of whole shares with the balance paid by the Company in cash.
The balance of the dividend for 2011 will be paid out in the form of cash or shares, according to the option selected, on May 24, 2012.
The maximum total number of new ordinary shares that may be issued to pay the share-based dividend is
89,700,444, representing approximately 3.98% of the capital and 4.08% of exercisable voting rights based on the number of shares issued by the Company as of 20th, April 2012.
The resulting shares issued will entitle shareholders to dividends from January 1, 2012, the first day of the current fiscal year, and will be identical to existing shares in every way. They will carry the same rights and restrictions as existing ordinary shares, as described in the Company's bylaws and the 2011 Registration Document available on the Company's website (www.gdfsuez.com). An application will be submitted to have them admitted for trading on the NYSE Euronext Paris stock exchange.
