SAVINGS GENERATED BY THE NEW 2017 RULES FOR UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE • The 2017 agreement should generate up to € 300M each year thanks to the 0,05% additional exceptional contribution paid by employers for the next three years. Considering the same legal framework, 10% of the additionnal revenue will be redistributed to Pôle emploi. • Meanwhile, from 2018 to 2020, thanks to the new set of measures, Unédic expenditures are projected to decrease by € 280-400M each year. • Total gain for Unédic financial situation is projected to be worth € 550M for 2018 and € 600M for 2019. • From 2021, raising to 53 years old the eligibility for receiving longer unemployment benefits will start to produce effects and further decrease Unédic expenditures. Eventually, the measure should achieve full effects by 2022 and represents savings of € 900M. 18 Investor Presentation - May 2017
