CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 3

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

u reiterate the determination of the status of non-independent directors for: u Augustin de Romanet, Executive Officer of the Company; u Jacques Gounon, director for more than 12 years, u the director representing the French State, given that the French State controls Aéroports de Paris, u the five directors appointed by the Annual General Meeting, on the recommendation of the French State, and who represent the interests of the French State in its capacity controlling shareholder of the Company; u the six employee directors, due to the existence of an employment contract with the Company. The Board of Directors notes that the number of independent directors on the Board of Directors of the Company, i.e. , four, meets the recommendation of the AFEP-MEDEF Code for at least one-third of directors to be independent in controlled companies. Employee directors are not counted. The four directors who qualify as independent exercise independent judgement free from any external influence or conflicts of interest. The Board of Directors noted that none of its members had any interest, position, association or relationship which, when assessed from the perspective of a reasonable and informed third party, was likely to influence unduly or cause bias in decision-making. In addition, in accordance with the Board of Directors' Charter, Board members undertake, in all circumstances, to maintain their independence of analysis, judgement, decision and action, and to reject any pressure, of whatever nature and from whatever source. After review, the Board of Directors confirms that: u the Audit and Risk Committee, currently has five members, three of whom are independent ( i.e ., 75% of members), in compliance with the recommendations of the AFEP MEDEF Code that at least two-thirds of directors be independent ( i.e ., employee directors not being counted); u 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), making it possible, according to the High Committee for Corporate Governance (HCGE), to rule out the need to apply the recommendation of the AFEP-MEDEF Code for a majority of directors to be independent. This derogation can only be used temporarily and, since 2024, the committee has made every effort to remedy the situation and has appointed a recruitment firm to assist it in its search for independent director candidates; u the Strategy and Investment Committee, which has six members, does not include an independent director, but the AFEP-MEDEF Code does not make any recommendations on the composition of this committee;

u the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee has six members, only one member of whom meets the independence criteria set by the AFEP-MEDEF Code, but the latter makes no recommendation on the composition of this committee. Note that, according to the AFEP-MEDEF Code, a director can be considered independent when he or she meets the following criteria: u is not, or has not been during the previous five years: u an employee or Executive Officer of the Company, u an employee, Executive Officer or director of a company that the Company consolidates, u an employee, Executive Officer or director of the Company’s parent or of a company consolidated by this parent; u is not an Executive Officer of a company in which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, a directorship or in which an employee appointed as a director or an Executive Officer of the Company holds or has held a directorship within the last five years (1) ; u is not a customer, supplier, corporate or investment banker or adviser (2) : u of significant importance to the Company or its Group, or u which derives a significant part of its activity from the Company or its Group. Appraisal of the significant nature or otherwise of the relationship maintained with the Company or its Group is debated by the Board and the quantitative and qualitative criteria having led to said appraisal (continuity, economic dependence, exclusivity, etc.) are explained in the report on corporate governance; u has no close family ties with a corporate officer; u has not acted as Statutory Auditor to the business during the last five years; u has not been a director of the Company for more than 12 years. The status of independent director ends after 12 years; u a non-executive corporate officer cannot be considered independent if he or she receives variable compensation in cash or shares or any compensation linked to the performance of the Company or the Group; u directors representing the major shareholders of the Company or of the parent can be considered as independent, provided said shareholders do not participate in controlling the Company. However, above a threshold of 10% in capital or voting rights, the Board, following a report from the Appointments Committee, systematically checks whether the director is independent by considering the composition of the Company’s capital and whether any conflicts of interest exist.

1 Thus, Mr X, an Executive Officer in company A, may not be considered independent as regards company B if: - company B is a director of company A, either directly or via a subsidiary (indirectly); or company B has appointed an employee as a director of A; - or an Executive Officer of B is a director of company A (or has been within the last five years). 2 Or is directly or indirectly linked to these individuals.
