AND AVAILABILITY OF THE MEETING DOCUMENTS
Boulogne-Billancourt, on March 26th, 2021.
Due to the exceptional situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic and in accordance with the measures adopted by the French Government to limit its spread, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, acting upon delegation of the Company’s Board of Directors, decided to hold the Combined General Meeting in closed session at the Palais des Congrès, 2 place de la Porte Maillot 75017 Paris, without the physical attendance of the shareholders and other persons entitled to attend.
This decision was made in accordance with the provisions and conditions set out in Ordinance No. 2020-321 of March 25th, 2020 and Decree No. 2020-418 of April 10th, 2020, as extended and amended by Ordinance No. 2020-1497 of December 2nd, 2020, Decree No. 2020-1614 of December 18th, 2020 and Decree No. 2021-255 of March 9th 2021.
As of the date of this publication, administrative measures limit or prohibit travels or collective gatherings for health reasons and thus prevent the physical presence of shareholders at Renault’s Combined General Meeting, given the large number of persons who usually attend this meeting. These measures include, in particular, those requiring compliance with hygiene and social distancing measures, known as “ barriers” , defined at national level, in all places and under all circumstances, and those prohibiting gatherings and meetings in a place open to the public beyond a certain limited number of people.

It will also be available in replay on the website after the Annual General Meeting.
The French State and Amundi will act as scrutineers.

orally by filming themselves in a short video to be posted on the website from Monday, April 19th, 2021 until Thursday, April 22nd, 2021 at 10:00 p.m. (Paris time). This video will be broadcast during the Annual General Meeting (provided that the required format is complied with).
