31 January 2023

Dear Shareholder,

2022 was a significant year for your Group.

Following the publication of our annual traffic figures, which showed, among other things, a massive return of passengers to the Tunnel, we have just published our revenues for the past year: €1.606 billion, an increase of 107% compared to 2021.

This letter gives you a detailed view of all these elements. I would like to comment on the reasons for this undeniable success.

For Eurotunnel, with an increased revenue of €1.049 billion, up 63%, the performance in terms of traffic and marketing demonstrates the potential of our model. We are pursuing our efforts to strengthen our quality of service, including facilitating border crossing. The Shuttle still confirms its leadership in the cross- Channel market, despite sustained competition from the ferries, some of which have been in the headlines for their social dumping practices.

In fact, all this reflects the major difficulties of the ferries, who, with three companies and evident overcapacity, are finding it difficult to face the situation. Let's be patient, normalisation will eventually come.

The return of Eurostar traffic and the merger with Thalys should also open up very positive opportunities.

For Europorte, the teams continue serenely on their path, with another 5% increase in revenues to €137 million. For example, almost three quarters of Europorte's cereal traffics are towards the ports of Rouen, Fos and Antwerp. Its infrastructure activity has just been highlighted by the Port of Sète contract. The success is based on the loyalty of customers who are satisfied with the quality of service provided.

The big news of 2022 is of course ElecLink. This 1 GW electricity interconnector, using the Tunnel's infrastructure, entered service at the end of May and its usefulness was immediately recognised. Through the auction processes specific to these businesses, ElecLink generated revenue of €420 million in 7 months, thanks to exceptional availability in a context of highly volatile energy prices. This is linked to the current energy crisis, amplified in this case by the low production of electricity in France. The first few months of operation of this interconnector have been almost entirely in the direction UK to France although since November, France has been able to export to the UK. ElecLink has the virtue of operating in both

directions and therefore securing supplies for both countries and, secondarily, securing our revenues.

At the time of the publication of our results on 23 February 2023, I will review in detail the profitability of this installation and the auction mechanisms. We are already securing revenues over the whole of 2023 through capacity sales, some of which cover the whole year.

Eurotunnel, whose business model implemented in 2005/2007 and has always been appreciated, has shown its great resilience by getting through the years of the health crisis and its associated economic crisis.

ElecLink drastically reinforces this essential feature for our investors, allowing us to strengthen our strategy which aims to minimise risk.

This is the moment that Eiffage has chosen to acquire TCI's shareholding and become our major shareholder with 18.79% of the capital. The Eiffage Group (see hereafter a short presentation) is almost 20% owned by its employees, which gives it great stability and a social approach that we ourselves have claimed with the distribution of free shares that you have approved year after year.

Let us also notice that our second largest shareholder Atlantia, which holds 15.49%, has been delisted from the stock exchange, following the offer initiated by its own shareholder Edizione, reinforced by the Blackstone fund. Our third largest shareholder, with 6.65% of the capital, is the well-known Abu Dhabi investment fund, ADIA.

We know that these major shareholders, like all of you, support our long-term strategy, which we have implemented with perseverance.

At the beginning of this year, I would like to express my sincere best wishes to you once again, and I can confirm that the entire Group is committed to ensure that the new opportunities created by the arrival of ElecLink are used to generate even more value.

Faithfully,

Jacques Gounon

Chairman of Getlink

CDP RATING

Getlink makes progress

As an innovative railway company and responsible infrastructure operator, Getlink has been committed since its creation to a policy of social responsibility designed to balance financial and non-financial performance as part of a process of continuous improvement. The Group's environmental, social and governance performance is assessed by specialist rating agencies. This year, CDP, the leading international organisation for assessing corporate climate strategies, gave the Getlink Group an A- rating, which means that the Group's rating has increased by three levels (and compares favourably with the European average and the average for the rail sector, which is B). This evaluation confirms the Group's strengths in the area of climate change, both in its governance and risk management and in the robustness of its ambitions to promote low-carbon mobility.

FOCUS ON CUSTOMERS

Quality of service, a priority

Getlink continues to strengthen its operational performance (safety, quality of service and cost) and to adjust to new business challenges. To maintain and develop customers' preference for Eurotunnel, the company is focusing on its customers to ensure an even better end-to-end service to meet customers' primary expectations: speed, care and ease of use. Concrete and measurable actions are already being taken to ensure that Eurotunnel maintains and develops its position in an increasingly competitive market (improved passenger information, new buses to transport truck drivers, launch of an automatic mini-market for truck drivers, etc.).

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Getlink supports the circular economy

After three decades of operating between France and the UK, the first generation of Truck Shuttles, which transported so many trucks and their drivers between the two Eurotunnel terminals, are retiring. These Shuttles, whose maintenance costs are increasing, will be recycled and recovered. In total, 221 wagons representing no less than 8,289 tonnes will be dismantled up to September 2023. To do this, Getlink has joined forces with a local partner, a specialist in the circular economy, to ensure strict monitoring of the waste. At the end of the first phase, which began in September 2022, 105 wagons have already been dismantled and 100% recovered.
