GDF SUEZ LAUNCHES ITS FIRST FREE SHARE ATTRIBUTION PLAN FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL EMPLOYEES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

GDF SUEZ is launching its first free share attribution plan as of 2009 for the benefit of its 200,000 employees. This year, the Group will distribute close to 3.8 million shares to all its employees1 , regardless of nationality, corporate title, position in the organization, or salary. In the some fifty countries where GDF SUEZ is present, each employee will receive 20 shares2 . All in all, over 3 years, employees received close to 11 million free shares from the Group.

Coming one year after the creation of GDF SUEZ, this free share attribution program fulfills a three-fold objective: to share the fruits of the Group's growth with its employees, to associate them on a lasting basis with the Group's current and future successes, and to strengthen employee share ownership.

In the same manner, SUEZ Environment has decided to launch a free share attribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Special arrangements are underway for SUEZ Environment employees to receive both some GDF SUEZ and SUEZ Environment shares.

For GDF SUEZ, this ambitious free share attribution program is a concrete reflection of Group values, attesting its strong commitment to corporate social responsibility.

One of the world's leading energy providers, GDF SUEZ is active across the entire energy value chain, in electricity and natural gas, upstream and downstream. The Group develops its businesses (energy, energy services and environment) based on a responsiblegrowth model with the aim of meeting great challenges: responding to energy needs, ensuring security of supply, combating climate change and optimizing the use of resources. GDF SUEZ relies upon diversified supply sources as well as flexible and high-performance power generation to provide innovative energy solutions for individuals, pubic authorities and businesses. The Group employs 200,000 people worldwide and in 2008 achieved revenues of EUR 83.1 billion. GDF SUEZ is listed on the Brussels, Luxembourg and Paris Stock Exchanges and is represented in the main international indices: CAC 40, BEL 20, DJ Stoxx 50, DJ Euro Stoxx 50, Euronext 100, FTSE Eurotop 100, MSCI Europe and ASPI Eurozone.

1 On condition of employment at April 30, 2009 with a company under majority control of GDF SUEZ.

2 The number of shares will be adjusted to the specific situation of employees in France common to the distribution subsidiaries of GDF SUEZ and EDF, as well as to those employees of SUEZ Environment Company.
