3 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON 19 FEBRUARY 2025

AFEP-MEDEF Code December 2022 Duration of directors’ terms of office (article 15 of the AFEP - MEDEF Code)

AFEP-MEDEF Code recommendations

Explanations

“The duration of directors' terms of office, laid down by the Articles of Association, should not exceed four years, so that the shareholders can express their wishes regarding their term of office with sufficient frequency.” “Terms of office should be staggered so as to avoid replacement of the entire body and to favour a smooth replacement of directors.”

The term of office of Aéroports de Paris directors exceeds the four-year term set out in the AFEP-MEDEF Code. The term of office of directors is set at five years, a period consistent with the term of the Economic Regulation Agreement, concluded pursuant to article 6325-2 of the French Transport Code ( Code des transports ). In response to an observation by the High Committee on Corporate Governance ( Haut Comité de Gouvernement d'Entreprise – HCGE) following its review of Groupe ADP's 2023 Universal Registration Document concerning the staggering of directors' terms of office, Groupe ADP indicated that: u the terms of office of the directors appointed by the General Meeting (excluding the six employee directors and the representative of the French State) are staggered to avoid the need to renew them all at the same General Meeting; u in order to encourage a more harmonious renewal of the Board's membership, the Compensation, Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee will examine the issue of staggering directorships and will report its conclusions to the Board of Directors. In particular, it will examine, with the Agence des participations de l'État , the advisability of amending the Articles of Association concerning the length of terms of office. The Compensation, Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee has been informed and will look into the matter. The Compensation, Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee has five members, including two independent directors, of whom one is the Chairwoman ( i.e. , 50% of its members are independent, the employee director not being counted). The HCGE, in its application guide, updated in 2024, of the revised AFEP-MEDEF Code, specifies that when the Chairman of this Committee is independent, the presence of 50% of independent directors instead of a majority is a relevant explanation for ruling out the application of the Code's recommendation. As this derogation may only be used temporarily, the Committee began work in 2024 to remedy the situation and appointed a recruitment firm to assist it in its search for independent director candidates. The charter for the members of the Board of Directors, as shown in the appendix to the Internal Rules of the Board of Directors, stipulates, in line with the AFEP MEDEF Code, that directors appointed by the Annual General Meeting must personally own a significant number of shares in the Company with respect to the compensation they receive. Unless they hold the shares at the time of taking office, they should use this compensation to acquire them. This recommendation cannot be applied within the Company for the following members, who are exempted from owning Company shares: u Directors appointed by the French State and directors appointed by the Annual General Meeting on the proposal of the French State, in application of ordonnance 2014-948 of 20 August 2014; u Directors elected by the employees in application of article 22 of French law no. 83-675 of 26 July 1983 on the democratisation of the public sector. They receive no compensation for service as directors. At its meeting of 15 July 2014, and as confirmed at its meeting of 21 May 2024, the Board of Directors decided not to define a lock-up period for shares to the extent that the Chairman and CEO is not granted any stock options or performance shares; u the Chairman and CEO waived payment of his compensation as a member of the Board of Directors of Aéroports de Paris and its companies; u his compensation is governed by French decree no. 2012-915 of 26 July 2012 on the French State's control over the compensation of directors of public sector companies. The commitment of the Chairman and CEO of Aéroports de Paris is not related to any interests he may have in the Company. He is to act in the Company's best interest, regardless of the number of shares he holds personally.

Composition of the Compensation, Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee (articles 18.1 and 19.1 of the AFEP-MEDEF Code) Director shareholding (article 21 of the AFEP-MEDEF Code)

"The Compensation, Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee must mostly consist of independent directors.”

“In the absence of legal provisions to the contrary, the director should personally be a shareholder and, by virtue of the provisions in the Articles of Association or the Internal Rules, hold a minimum number of shares that is significant in relation to the compensation awarded to them.” “The Board of Directors defines a minimum number of registered shares that the company officers must retain through to the end of their term of office. This decision is reviewed at least on each extension of their term of office.”
