Universal Registration Document - Fiscal 2024

8.2.2 Universal Registration Document

According to Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 in force since July 21, 2019 and its Delegated Regulation 2019/980, Sodexo publishes a Universal Registration Document. This document aims to enhance shareholder and investor understanding of the activities, financial situation, risk factors, overall strategy and non-financial aspects of the Group.

The Universal Registration Document is filed each year with the French securities regulator (Autorité des marchés financiers – AMF) in accordance with its General Regulation. This document can be viewed on the AMF website ( www.amf-france.org). It is also available, along with the English version, at www.sodexo.com.

An interactive and accessible version of the Universal Registration Document in French and English is also available on the Group’s website to facilitate reading, particularly for those that are visually impaired.

8.2.3 Annual Shareholders Meeting

The Annual Shareholders Meeting is announced in official notices published in the BALO (Bulletin des annonces légales obligatoires) in France and on the Group’s website, at www.sodexo.com.

The notice of meeting is available in French and English at least 15 days prior to the meeting. It is sent to all registered shareholders, and to other shareholders upon request. It is also available at www.sodexo.com.

A live webcast of the Sodexo Annual Shareholders Meeting as well as for the recent ad hoc general meeting to approve the Pluxee spin-off, are broadcast on our website, enabling shareholders who cannot attend in person to ask questions and follow the voting on resolutions. The webcast of the last Annual Shareholders Meeting has been archived and is available on the Sodexo website.

8.2.4 Regular meetings and ongoing dialogue

Sodexo is committed to genuine dialogue with its shareholders and with the broader financial community. In order to ensure that the figures it releases each quarter are fully understood, the Group organizes conference calls led by the Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Group Financial Officer.

In addition, a program of regular meetings with investors and analysts from all around the world is put in place each year, with the Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, as well as the Lead Independent Director, and the Investor Relations team. These individual meetings create opportunities for more informal dialogue. The vast majority of these meetings took place online in Fiscal 2024, even though we are arranging more face-to- face visits. The virtual format has made these meetings much easier to plan and increased attendance whilst reducing costs and carbon emissions.

Themed briefings are also held periodically to give investors and analysts insight into front-line operations, or the progress being made from an Environmental, Social and Governance point of view.

This year, the IR team organised a site visit for the sell-side analysts to better understand the on the ground day-to-day challenges of the Sodexo teams.

In Fiscal 2024, Sodexo met with 707 investors from 556 financial institutions, conducted 6 roadshows and participated in 14 investor conferences. The number of meetings and financial institutions met increased year-on-year demonstrating interest in the new pure- player status of the Group following the Pluxee spin-off.

Lastly, the Investor Relations team is always available to answer questions from shareholders, analysts and institutional investors.
