"POWER BETTER GROWTH" A NEW BRAND FOR A NEW AMBITION Paris, April 28, 2021

Eurazeo's Combined Shareholders' Meeting took place today behind closed doors and was livestreamed on the Company's website. In the meeting, shareholders approved the 18 resolutions proposed, including the payment of a dividend of €1.50 per share.

The Shareholders' Meeting capped off the 2020 financial year, which clearly showed the solid foundations and success of Eurazeo's strategy. In 2020, the Group's assets under management rose 16% to almost €22 billion, including record fundraising of €2.9 billion. NAV per share rose 6.3% to end the year at €85.4 after a 21% rebound in the second half.

In the Shareholders' Meeting, the Group announced its plan to bring all of its private equity, private debt and real assets activities – until now carried out by Eurazeo and Idinvest Partners – under the single Eurazeo brand.

A new logo has been devised to accompany the new brand architecture.

Power Better Growth is the purpose of Eurazeo, which was unveiled during the Shareholders' Meeting and embodies both the Group's business model and its ambition.

It represents the business model of a Group that multiplies, diversifies and mobilizes its resources in support of entrepreneurial projects, while creating value and ensuring that the interests of its shareholders are fully aligned with those of its private investors.

It also represents the Group's ambition to foster meaningful growth, as exemplified by Eurazeo's commitment to ESG through O+ , the most ambitious ESG strategy in its sector, which it launched in September 2020. With O+ , Eurazeo has undertaken to reach carbon net neutrality by 2040, and to act in favor of a more inclusive society. O+ also confirms Eurazeo's status as a leading player in ESG, which it regards as a genuine driver of financial returns and sustainable growth.

Eurazeo will continue to anticipate future sources of growth through its investment choices in promising sectors, such as those it has already made in the technology, healthcare and sustainable infrastructure industries. Eurazeo also intends to continue its international expansion and in particular to extend its footprint in Europe, achieve faster growth in the United States and capitalize on strong momentum in the Asian market.

Virginie Morgon, CEO, said,

"We are very pleased and proud to unveil our new brand platform, which will bring all of our Group's activities together under the Eurazeo brand. "Power Better Growth" is a new identity that represents a new ambition focused on our sustainable growth strategy. Eurazeo's 300 employees are excited by the prospect of continuing to creating value while also addressing major issues such as financing and supporting the real economy, decarbonizing economic activity and making our society more inclusive."
