I will now give the floor Benoit Coquart, who will be talking about our business model and our strategic model.

Dear shareholders, I'm very pleased just like every year to talked to you about Legrand. I wanted to start that we had our IPO 20 years ago, we would need more than today's afternoon to describe and reportable the changes Legrand has gone through. But there's 1 figure to be remember, if I were to summarize it in a nutshell. If you had invested EUR 10,000 in Legrand at the time of the IPO 20 years ago, you would be having EUR 110,000. So it's quite an outstanding and interesting track record, and it would be EUR 30,000 on the CAC 40. There's 1 thing which has been our line [audio gap] Mark, it's the steady growth of our financial performance. Legrand was first introduced in 70 -- and that was 56 years ago, Legrand France and the dividend of Legrand never went down. Sometimes it was stable during the difficult and challenging years. So the management team, the Board of Directors and all the Legrand teams will tried their best to be up to this performance level in the forthcoming years. Our positioning is rather unique in the industry. We are a large group, but were not as big as some of the big, big technical companies, and we are bigger than many of the SMEs that are present in the market. This unique position is making us stronger we are more concentrated on the market. We are more focused than other big companies, and we enjoy the technological, human and financial resource that large companies and large groups may have. This is making us operating on EUR 150 billion market, which is 50% large companies and 50% SMEs. We are -- have a well-balanced global presence, 42% of our revenue in Northern Central America, 38% in Europe and 20% the rest of the world. Today, data center is around for 26% of our turnover. It was only 5 to 10 years ago. And then it's almost 50-50 between residential and nonresidential. We are driven by a very positive trends that you can see here, the data center, and you just need to read the daily papers to realize that it is a booming market, driven by artificial intelligence. It is considered that the demand in gigawatts will be multiplied by 5 in the forthcoming years. We'll talk about it with Franck Lemery, and we'll see that this trend is a major driver of our revenue. But it's not the only one. There is also the energy transition. You've probably read yesterday that the French government has presented its the electrification plan. And we are at the heart of this. Every time we shift from fossil fuel to electricity, the electricity production generation to double by 2050. So we need more equipment. It is also driven by the digital lifestyle with the aging of the population. There's a lot of connected care plus the infrastructures, the traditional business of Legrand which is also related to the global population, which should grow by 1.5 billion people by 2050. So it means more houses, more houses, more hospitals, universities, schools and office buildings. Now the sales -- more than 50% of our sales are related to the Energy & Digital transition. So data center and less than 50%, 47% in the central infrastructure traditional product at Legrand. It's a regular growth at Legrand. It depends pretty much on the license to build, et cetera, on a market which is not always buoyant and everything that is related to digital and energy transition is based on these mega trends that I was referring to earlier, which should be growing even further. We enjoy a broad range of products, no. We have some 300,000 SKUs, plus 200,000 SKUs of made to request products. You have a few examples here. Now if we were to zoom in on the various activities at Legrand today, we have the complete suite for data center, we were on 2 or 3 families of products like smart switches for various systems in the past. But today, we have the full fledge offering from medium voltage to the testing system, the calling system and protection of the electric circuits. And for energy transition, we also have everything that is related to the protection that is for products, UPSs, et cetera. For digital lifestyle, our offering is based on 2 segments. Connected care and smart houses. And also, we still have these essential infrastructures that is what you will find the historical business of Legrand that is wiring devices. We're still #1 globally. We are the ones selling the highest number of switches. And there are many other products, industrial products, the emergency lighting of buildings, a bit of lighting fixtures and floor and selling systems, et cetera. Now this offering is based on innovation. R&D in the long run is always 5% of our sales. It's twice as much as the rest of the industry with 3,000 people who are working in the R&D department and more than 20% developing software and firmware solutions. We also work a lot on climate change effect with 2 pillars. We are developing solutions, allowing our customers to reduce their energy bill and their CO2 emissions. Up to 35% of energy savings and these solutions with a smart thermostat detector of presence, and that's a lot -- so when we say that the data center consume a lot of energy, but we're part of the solutions, we are offering our customers and solutions to reduce their energy consumption in data centers and to improve the energy efficiency of a data center. So that's for the product offering, but we also work a lot on circular economy and the impact of our products on the environment. So we disclosed the full life cycle of our products were 74% of our sales. So in total, we consider that 79% of our sales are eco-responsible and that's a competitive edge. I know eco responsibility is not as fashionable as a word as it used to be 5 years ago. But we pushed for this because our customers are pretty sensitive to it. Now our customer satisfaction is at the core of our growth strategy. It is measured with market indicators. They have not been invented by Legrand. There's a CSAT. I'm sorry for this English abbreviations. So that's customer satisfaction, 80% of our customers satisfied and that there is also the Net Promoter Score, NPS is a score measuring the difference between those who are fan of Legrand and those who will be criticizing Legrand. And it is considered that above 30. It's a very good score, and we are standing at 54. And these figures have been growing year in, year out. It's based on the interview of 576,000 customers surveyed across 79 countries. So it's quite valid from the statistical standpoint. And based on these figures, we also develop improvement plans. Now artificial intelligence would require hours of debate or the impact of AI on our group can be summarized in 3 ways. It is accelerating our sales growth. We need data centers, data centers that need a certain number of Legrand products we consider that there's 1 megawatt of data center capacity that is built. If we sell 100% of Legrand capacity, we can sell $2 million to $3 million per megawatt. When you hear about a data center are 50 or more gigawatts. You know that there's a huge opportunity here for us. It is also a tool that will improve our customer satisfaction. We have developed 2 agent tools that are very useful to generate product data. And in AI will in 10 minutes summarize the test for our products, so that's Gaia. And then we have Eli presale and after-sell product support, which has been developed on -- based on Legrand products and may answer many questions that you might have on 200,000 SKUs, and it will be for all our product range in the future. It is also a driver to improve efficiency. We've used -- worked on 200 use cases for which we develop AI tools with 6,000 of our employees who have been trained and they can be improving their efficiency. And we also software and firmware where a software team will save 30% of their working time thanks to AI and these figures will certainly go up pretty soon. Now pricing power is very interesting. It's a capacity for us to increase our prices slightly. 2022 was an unusual year because it was a year of high inflation rate. But I would say that the average is more or less 2%. No. Why this pricing power because the value creation makes sense and because the price is important for our customer, but many other aspects also matter the quality of the service, easiness of maintenance, the technical support, et cetera, et cetera. We're always very reasonable as to our capacity to increase the prices, we will not increase our prices as much as the competition because we consider that it is important to be competitive in an environment which is that of fierce competition. Another lever for growth are mergers and acquisitions. We made 35 since 2020. So we invested EUR 5 billion. We bought back several billions of euros of annual sales, JPY 1.9 billion. It's a good acquisition machine. This is a quality that's been recognized by the market. We can buy nice companies, talk them to the group to create value. We don't destroy value. And the impact of acquisitions and the repositioning of the group towards energy and digital transition is massive. These energy and digital transition products account for 75% of the acquired sales. So it is all the levers we have to go towards this energy transition and to have a digital mode of living. The executive committee, you see they look happy, and that's very important. I'd like to specify that we have a mixture of local veterans, people who have been here for 30 to 35 years and others who joined us a few months ago with the management team, which is highly motivated, and they will probably do very well in the future. Now what 4 of this -- so we have objectives for 2030 that are very ambitious. We want to have a total sales of EUR 15 billion by 2030. In 2017, it was EUR 5 million and this year, it should be 10%. So it is a regular growth. adjusted EBIT margin, more than 20% of sales. Free cash flow, EUR 10 billion during this period of time, half would be used for acquisitions. We've used this treasure because we've made quite a number of acquisitions. We will have a very dynamic policy of capital allocation of dividend payout. These are the financial indicators. Now for the nonfinancial -- we are maintaining pressure. We still have a lot of ambitions in terms of general diversity, 1/3 of key management positions are held by women. Climate ambitions 25% in Scope 3, 42% in Scope 1 and 2, circular, phasing out single-use plastic in packaging. [ Regine ] will tell you more about this later on. We have a lot of solutions so that customers can save CO2. So we would like customers to avoid the emission of millions over 10 years, which is a lot, and 80% of the Legrand sales must be eco responsible. So whether it's in the financial -- extra financial sector, we are ambitious for 2030. The first year of this road map is being laid out perfectly in accordance with our plan. We still have 4 or 5 years to go. And your group is motivated to meet these objectives. So this is what I wanted to tell you for those -- we've been following us for a number of years. So you will say, yes, we've been hearing this, but this is part of Legrand's quality. We don't change our strategy overnight. We are quite clear. We adapt our strategy according to the market situations according to the opportunities given to us by this or that segment. But this is a clear path. And with Franck Lemery, our financial manager, we will have a look at the figures. Thank you. And before giving the floor to Frank, let's have a look at a very short video film. [Presentation]

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. As Benoit and Cees said, I'm absolutely delighted to share Legrand's news. We have this horizon of 2030 I'm going to tell you about what we've achieved in '25, '26. Would you tell you what happened in the past 5 years? You're going to look at the beautiful characteristics of Legrand in the past 5 years and really talk about the relations between Legrand and its shareholders. So first, 2025. 2025 was an excellent year, a successful year for the first performance indicator, which is the net sales with the growth, not including ForEx by 13%, up 13%. And we see that the 2 growth drivers traditionally of Legrand functioned fully. The organic nonfinancial, plus 7.7%, and the external growth plus 5%, when we look more closely at the organic growth, so we leave aside the ForEx and the acquisitions, we see 2 things. The first is that this organic growth at 7.7% is driven by the data centers. They grew last year organically by nearly 40%. So this is a great growth driver in the group's organic growth. And the second thing we see is that the 3 geographical zones of the group we're positive, especially North and Central America, which is the center of the world today in terms of data centers. It is the cradle of this development. And now let's have a look at our profitability. Here again, it was a very successful year in terms of adjusted operating margin a remarkable year because of our results in absolute terms and operating profitability of 20.7%, which is remarkable. It's one of the best figures reached by the group. And there is an improvement of the profitability compared to the previous years. This is thanks to the organic lever, but also thanks to all the acquisitions. And thirdly, the reason why we have this remarkable performance, these are the conditions in 2025. They were complex in 2025, 2026 is not very easy to start with, but the group has shown its resilience. It faced a certain number of challenges in this macroeconomics. And we set up new tariffs that cost hundred millions of dollars to the group in the full year of 2025. So therefore, very nice profitability -- the conditions are very demanding, and the performance is, therefore, even more remarkable. Now to end with the figures of 2025 -- here on this slide, there are 2 topics on which I'd like to draw your attention. The first is the cash generation, which is very important for a group. It's very important for a group to generate cash, cash generation is the ability to have an attractive balance sheet. And it is also a question of being able to invest for the future. And as every year, Legrand could convert its result more than 100% into cash at 107%. And the second point on which I have to draw your attention is the robustness of the group's balance sheet. So therefore, we can contemplate the future with great piece and come. Here, you see the EBITDA multiple -- at the beginning of the year, the rating agency, S&P confirmed the rating of Legrand with a stable perspective. And this after a year when the M&A was strong. So we are capable of generating enough cash to meet all our ambitions. So that was for 2025 with all the figures. Not feeling well in the room. So we've just shared the figures. Now beyond the figures, we have the method. How are we going to prepare for the future. Let's talking about innovation, which is very important in our model. This was underscored by Benoit. We're showing a few examples of new products that were launched last year here with you. Let's begin with the data centers. And I'm going to go into the details of all the projects. But behind all these products, we are supporting the evolution of all the architectures of these data centers, and we are preparing these data centers that will meet the needs of artificial intelligence. And we are launching products in the field of energy transition, digital lifestyle, infrastructure, essential infrastructure that account for half of our business. Now when we talk about the method the second thing for the group, to prepare for the future. These are the acquisitions. And from that point of view, this year was a successful year -- it was a successful year. I really like this page because we see a lot of acquisitions. We see 7 acquisitions. This is a good representation of the acquisition model of the group, which can always find some beautiful companies that are not well known, but that are leaders in certain market niches. And so this acquisition allowed us to acquire EUR 500 million of annualized revenue, and we see acquisitions in all the verticals that can help them drive Legrand's growth. Digital lifestyle, some data centers, energy transition. And this is distributed over nearly all the continents and all the important geographical zones of the group. So these are the figures, the achievements in 2025, if you take 2025 alone. Now I would like to share the history of Legrand during the past 5 years. Now the first thing I'd like to share with you. And this perfectly illustrates 1 of the 4 values of Legrand. We talk about constant and reliable value creation. And 1 thing that is very important is that Legrand is consistent and dependable in terms of value creation in the past 5 years and even more. But in the past 5 years, what are the most important indicators. We see a growth of 63%, not including ForEx benefits of 86%, a good cash generation, close to 15% of the sales during this period. And our capital allocation policy, which is consistent, coherent, which is creating a lot of value with a very attractive dividend, half of the net profits -- the cash generation is dedicated to prepare for the future with acquisitions and the balance sheet is very solid and robust, as I said. The second thing I'd like to share, therefore, during this period of 2025, that allows us to take a little bit of hindsight is that we have tried -- and this was our strategy to was a deliberate strategy. We've tried to improve the growth profile of the group. You can see here through the figures, the last 5-year period, the growth, excluding currency effects, was 10.3%. The next 5 years, we're excluding 2020, which was the COVID period. So the next period, 2015, 2019, excluding currency effects, was 8.2%. So 10.3% versus 8.2%. That is 25% acceleration. But the growth profile, the growth of the group was improved but also the profitability of the group because in the -- the years, the five years before the COVID, the adjusted operating margin was at 19.8%. It was on an average 3.6% during the past 5 years, '21 to '25. And 1 point that we share at each general meeting. We're deeply attached to this, and I hope that you shareholders are also attached to this. This is the allocation, the value -- added value allocation, which is coherent over the long term. So the definition of added value is to subtract purchases to net sales. So -- this is what is given to the suppliers. And with this remainder, we see what the group does. Half of what the group does is that it goes to the employees, 1/4 for investment for development -- they are the acquisitions, but also the R&D investments, investments in machinery, buildings, IT and 25% for our other stakeholders and the shareholders are part of this. They benefit from 14% of this add value. And this 50%, 25%, 25%, this is very consistent in the past few years. And here again, we recognize the stability and the fact that the Legrand Group is stable and reliable. So that was for 2025. Before talking about 2026, I'd like to share a video with you on the data centers that greatly contribute to our growth. [Presentation]

So that's for the data center, 1 of the drivers for our 2030 trajectory. So we've heard about this ambition that 2025 was quite a buoyant year and the early month of '26 as well. The first quarter figures are fully in line with the ambitions of the group. Here are the first quarter results. The sales, excluding ForEx, plus 18% in based on organic growth, 9%, and that from mergers and acquisition plus 8%. Regarding acquisitions, as of today, we have announced 5 new acquisitions for a total sales revenue of EUR 360 million. So another very interesting year. The adjusted operating margin is ending at 20.7%, quite promising for 25%, and it is the same percentage for the first quarter of 26% with a net profit attributable to the group that has increased by 14%. So a very good beginning of the year, allowing us to be confident for the full year, even though the economic context is not really good this year. We are expecting a growth rate, which is in line with our 2030 ambition with sales increasing by 10% or 15%, which would include 4% to 7% of organic growth and 6% of acquisitions, and adjusted operating margin after acquisitions of up to 21%. And as Benoit said several times, and I fully agree with him, we are supporting this financial performance with CSR achievement rate of at least 100% of the second year for the '25, '27 road map. Now these are the 2 pieces of information I wanted to share with you, reviewing '25 and looking at '26 and having a hindsight on the 5 years now. And now regarding our relations with you shareholders, we usually show you this graph, as Benoit has explained, the curve of the Stock price is self-explained. The annualized growth rate is not so tangible, but with EUR 10,000 invested at Legrand, the performance 20 years ago is 3.7x the 1 you would have had by -- if you had invested on in the CAC 40 listed company an attractive dividend. I've already said it several times as well as Legrand. That's our allocation policy, some 50% of the payout -- this is allowing us to put as a resolution, a dividend of EUR 2.38, that is plus 8.2%. And also, another way to pay attention to our shareholders is to provide you with a full-fledged set of data information, access to regulated information, tools, allowing you to be part of the company's life like, for instance, recently, you were invited to visit our Paris campus to visit a showroom and discuss with our teams. So it's a comprehensive system that is supported by the team of the financial communication and legal departments. And that's all for me. Thank you.

No, Legrand is also present when it comes to CSR performance. And thanks to Virginia Gatin. We are going to have an eye on our CSR performance.

So CSR performance, as Frank explained, is nonfinancial performance for Legrand it is making us more relevant to our customers. We work on customer satisfaction a lot to improve this rate and scores making us more relevant for -- to our customers. And we also want to be more attractive, and we have high-end efficiency products that are also meeting our customers' expectations. And we are being more attractive for our teams because these topics are very important to our employees. It allows us to attract and develop new talents. And that is something very important for those people who would like to join the company but it's also a source of pride for those who are already working with the room and it helps to unite our employees around our purpose and our values and to highlight this strong corporate culture, which also is a driver for performance. And CSR makes us more efficient. It helps to reduce our cost in a significant way through our energy consumption reductions and also it helps to optimize our processes. It was already presented, and I will go into the details. We launched in '25 our sixth road map for CSR for the '25, '27 period with 5 pillars. And here are the first 2 pillars. Promoversity and inclusion. Our objective is to have 35% of management positions held by women by '27. 100% of our head count working in a diversified labeled organization that is Gliddiversity label. We will be offering 4,000 job position in early career people and 100 new businesses developed with suppliers committed with 2 diversity conclusions. Regarding climate change, -- we have presented our goals for 2030. For the '25, '27 period, we have an intermediate objective to reduce by 10% emissions for scopes 1 and 2 and to reduce by 30% our CO2 emissions from our suppliers' operations -- so our suppliers will have to commit to reduce by 30%, their own emissions by 2030. And we are committed to the fact that it will be representing 70% of our purchased goods emissions. The third pillar is the development of a more circular economy. It is an increasingly important topic for our customers. We are working with all our R&D team on this. Our objective by '27 is at 50% of new or redesigned projects. That is product range, to be compliant with the Eco-Design Index criteria of Legrand very stringent criteria to qualify the products as eco design. We also want to increase the sustainable materials included in our products and Benoit talked about 2030 with the reduction of packages to remove 100% of our packages by 2030. For '27, we want to remove 80% of this plastic in primary packaging. Now serving our customer is the fourth pillar. We want to keep on developing energy efficiency solutions for our customers. We talked about electrification of users, the need to reduce the energy consumption, and these solutions are part of the project. And for '27, we have 20 million tons of CO2 emissions avoided, thanks to our energy efficiency offerings that will result in 70 million tons for the 2020, 2030 period. For the customer experience, as we've all said, it's very important -- it really is needed to improve our customer satisfaction with the 2 indicators with the CSAT and the NPS, Net Promoter Score, and provide our customers with information on the product that they buy, what is its environmental impact, its footprint. We have product sustainability profiles, and we deliver to our customer all the information on the life cycle of the product and the impact of the product in the environment. And we want to have 72% of the annual revenue covered by product sustainability profiles. Finally, it's about being a responsible business. We want to have 100% of major suppliers engaged in compliance with our standards. So they will have to meet Ecovadis human right schools and 100% of risky suppliers engaged. Business ethics, we still work on training our employees on business ethics and on compliance frequency rate with and without leave for our employees and that over interim, we want to reduce this rate by 20% by '27 and train our employees, keep on training our employees and increase the number of employees with 10 hours of annual training for each employee by '27. Now this year, the first year of the sixth road map, the '25 performance level was very good. So 123% on diversity inclusion, on climate change and circular economy, 89% on being a responsible business and 102% serving our customers. So that's a total rate of 110 achievement rate for the first year. Now what does that mean in real life? We have now at the end of '25, 31.3% of management positions are held by women. So this is improving year in, year out. We have close to 5,600 opportunities that were offered too early in careers in '25. Regarding climate change, we're very pleased to keep on delivering our teams are locally pretty much involved in reducing the emissions. So that's minus 19% reduction of Scopes 1 and 2 in '25 versus '25, and we have reduced by 34% to the weight of plastic in primary packages, we have some 37 of sustainable materials in our groups, 6 million CO2 scope for emissions were avoided 74% of our revenues covered by product sustainability profiles. We have reduced by 3% of frequency rate and more than 97 of our employees were trained for at least 8 hours. This has been recognized by nonfinancial rating agencies the leading ones being listed here with still a on CDP. We're still very proud of that. And we are platinum in the EcoVadis ranking system. Franck has also talked about the financial and nonfinancial results -- now the road map is not only about 2025. But if we consider over the last 5 years, we've reduced by 64% or CO2 emissions for Scopes 1 and 2 we have improved by 27%. The number of women as managers in the group. We've reduced by 40%, the frequency rate of accident by 40% over 5 years and -- we have already avoided 24 million tons of CO2 emissions over 5 years. We are very satisfied with these results, and our teams are fully engaged to improve this even further in the future. As said, that this was making us more attractive to our employees and customers. Now I'd like to show you this video about employer branding. [Presentation]

Thank you very much, Virginie. Now the time has come to talk about corporate governance and compensation and Michel Landel will take the floor.

Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. Thank you to you, Mrs. Chair. She's reminded us that company wants to be very stringent regarding governance. This means that our governance structure means that the separation of the functions of the chair and that of CEO, we are in line with the best practices, and we're in line with the French asset mid for recommendations, a strong commitment of the Board members and the team gathering diverse levels of experience. Now regarding the composition of the Board of Directors, our 5 objectives to be made is to maintain up to 12 members, who are not employees of the company have more than 70% to than independent and ensure gender equality in our presentation and have relevant experience considering the strategy of the company and making the Board more international. During this General Meeting, shareholders meeting, you will be asked to vote on the renewal of 5 of those members. Starting with Benoît Coquart, Mrs. Isabel Banco givo, who would come after me as a reference administrator as a reference Board of Directors, Mrs. Valerie [indiscernible], Mrs. Angeles Garcia Borel, who would be renewed as a President of the Board of Directors; and finally, Mrs. Claire Sherer. So much so that after this general assembly and provided you agree, this would be the composition of the Board of Directors of independent directors, that's well above what is recommended by the French FMD Code, 60% of women and 7 different nationalities. And as you will read on the following slide, we will have a right range of complementary skills to be relied on for our future work. As my position is concerned, as the lead directors have worked with the compensation committee on the succession plan. I have also worked on the evaluation of the Board's functioning, which was an internal evaluation, which has revealed that this Board is working rather well. I've also moderated 2 meetings of the nonexecutive directors, and I have met with a series of managers of the group during a road show. Now regarding the Board of Directors activity, 14 meetings were held 16 meetings of the committees and attendance rate of approximately 100%. Now I'll let you discover the composition of the committees after the General Assembly provided you agree on renewal the directors' terms of office, as will be presented to you. And now I will be talking about the compensation of these directors. So the compensation policy adopted by the Board is simple, transparent and responsible. As for the Chair lady, the policy does not plan for any annual variable compensation and no compensation as a Director. As for the Chief Executive Officer, the structure of compensation is aligned with the interest of the stakeholders and it is consistent with the long-term strategy of the company and the performance conditions are very demanding. And as for the directors, the variable share of their compensation is predominant. Now if we look at the Chair lady -- in 2025, her compensation, fixed composition was EUR 625,000. In 2026, your Board proposes to maintain this amount, the same amount. As for the Executive Director, his fixed compensation was EUR 900,000. The variable share that can go from 0 to 150% was reached at 120.2% target, the long-term variation that can reach 200% of the fixation through performance shares was valued by an independent expert. Do you mind that you can see here. As for 2026, the Board proposes to raise the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer from 900,000 to 1.100 million, and it hasn't changed since 2021, and it will position the composition of the Chief Executive Officer at a reasonable level compared to the CAC 40 companies, which is the index. And as for the other compensation elements of the Chief Executive Officer, they remain unchanged. On the next slide, you can see that the structure in 26 and 25 for this compensation of the Chief Executive Officer was based at 75% on the variable compensation, 50% for the long-term variable compensation, 20% on the annual variable compensation. So the fixed share is 25% of the total compensation. And as for CSR, you see that there's a significant component because it is 17.5% of the target value for the total annual compensation. And as for the compensation of the directors in 2026 -- the Board proposes to renew the policy that we had in 2025 with 1 difference, which is the amount of the variable share for each attendance to an exceptional Board meeting, which will go to EUR 25,000 instead of EUR 5,000. Sorry, EUR 2,500 instead of EUR 5,000. Thank you.

Please don't leave Michele because as I said in my introduction, it will be the last participation of Michel Landel as director, since his term will expire at the end of this meeting. He's enriches meeting this group with this great wisdom and his great humanity. And I'd like to thank him for these years of service and wish him the best for the future. Thank you, Michel.

Thank you very much. Thank you. It was a very interesting experience to take part in this Board a company with a great culture, wonderful teams because the company is made up of men and women, and I can guarantee you that the people we meet within Legrand all worth it. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, Michel. It is time now to review the resolutions. Emmanuelle Levine, you have the floor.

So the first 3 resolutions presented at the Board are on the approval of the company's financial statements, consolidated financial statements and earnings -- the dividend is EUR 2.38 per share, which is taken from the distributable earnings. The date of detachment of the dividend will be the 23 of May '26, and the division will be paid out to the shareholders on the second of June 2026. The fourth resolution concerns the vote on the information on the compensation paid to all the officers in 2025 and attributed during that same financial year that is Article L-22-10,341 of the French Commercial Code. Fifth and sixth resolutions are the CNP expos. This is for the compensation of the Chairperson of the Board and the for 2025. Seventh and eighth resolution concerned this say-on-pay Exane, you have to vote on the 2026 pay for the Chair and the CEO of the ninth resolution is the maximum amount of compensation of the directors. The tenth resolution is for the ex anti-say-on-pay you have to approve the compensation for 2026 applicable to the members of the Board. 11th and 15 resolutions are on the renewal of the terms of office of Bernardo, Isabel Concebra, value short Angeles, Garcia, Pobeda and Claire Scherer. The next resolution is for all the formalities after your meeting is held. 16th and 17th Resolutions concern the renewal for the authorization to buy back shares and the authorization to cancel shares. As for the 16th resolution, which is under the ordinary meeting, will increase the maximum purchase price to EUR 250 per share. The extraordinary part is to give the board to proceed to reduce the share capital by canceling the treasury shares -- as for Resolution 16 and 17, the Board can buy back the shares of the company and reduce the corporate share according to the conditions in compliance with the market. Resolutions 18 to 25 -- this is to read to renew the financial authorizations approved by the general meeting on the 29th of May 2024. By voting on these resolutions, you will allow the Board to issue some shares under certain conditions according to the market opportunities and the group financial needs to preserve the rights of each shareholder. This would be limited in terms of time amount, and there would be a cap according to the legislation applicable according to the recommendations according to the practices on the market. And therefore, we propose to limit the financial delegations granted to the Board to iteration of 26 months, maximum caps that be strictly determined for each authorization beyond which the Board will need to convene the general assembly meeting to obtain more authorizations. For -- with the nodes, I mean, when you don't have any subscription rights, there could not be any increase in capital above EUR 100 million for resolutions with maintenance of preferential subscription rights. We cannot have any increase of capital above EUR 200 million knowing that this amount is also the overall cap applying to any financial delegation except for the 22nd resolution on the increase of capital by incorporation of reserves benefits or premiums or others, some whose capitalization would be limited. As for Resolution 21, it would allow the Board to -- according to the limitations to maintain the preferential subscription rights in case of an excess demand according to the resolutions in application with which the issuing is carried out. And finally, the 26th resolution considers the modification of Article 9.2 of the Articles of Association on the nomination of the directors representing the employees.

Thank you, Emmanuel, and now it is time to listen to our statutory auditors. The joint auditors will be represented by Gal Lemonofides, you have the floor. Thank you, Gale.

Ladies and gentlemen, dear shareholders, good afternoon. On behalf of the statutory auditors will present a summary of all the various reports that we established your attention for this general meeting. These reports have been given to you are at your disposal. So I'll limit my comments to all the essential items. So for 2025, our reports are on the following points. The certification of the consolidated financial statements, and certification of the individual accounts of Legrand SA, the issuing of a limited opinion in terms of sustainability established by the group, the related party agreements and the increase in capital competitive -- contemplated by your company that have been just presented to you. So to begin, as for the second resolution, I confirm that we have certified without any variations, the consolidated financial statements of 2025 considering the international IFRS reference, there are 2 points of our consolidated financial statements that are developed in our report. These are the tests of the goodwill and the in undetermined time the litigations and the possible liabilities. So for each of these points, we've reviewed the accounting methods and implemented, and we made sure that all these assessments were reasonable, all the assessments made by the company and that all the information which are given in the Annex are correct. As for the individual accounts of Legrand SA, they have also been audited without any reservations. The key point of the audit are on the assessment of the fair value measurement of the equity securities. On the next slide, you can see that we issued a report on the information in terms of sustainability established by Legrand in order to implement the CSRD directive. This has been done according to the vote authority of auditing. Our report complies with the analysis process of the dual materiality carried out by Legrand to identify the material issues and the information that can be published. The compliance of the information published according to the SRS sustainability standards and the IFRS taxes. So for these 3 points, we've issued a compliance. So this means that we have not noted any errors, no inconsistencies or any significant emissions. Next slide, we have issued a report on the related party agreements, where we indicate that no convention were concluded or authorized during the financial year are approved by the Board that were pursued during this financial year. And to end, as for Resolutions 17 and 25 on the extraordinary part of your general meeting, we have issued 3 reports on the delegations granted to your Board to proceed with operations on the capital of your company. And we have no observations to make on these operations that are part of the conditions planned by the French commercial code and the definitive conditions according to which the increase in capital would be made have not been fixed. So therefore, we're not expressing any opinion about that. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your attention.

Thank you very much, Gail. I'd like to thank all the joint auditors for their work. And now we'd like to give the floor to the shareholders we've received 6 written questions from 2 shareholders, and the answer to these questions are published on the Internet site of legrand.com in the section of the combined general meeting. Now in addition to all the legal formalities, the shareholders had the possibilities between Wednesday, the 20th of May and the 26th of May, 3 p.m. Paris time to address your questions by e-mail. I suggest we move on to the oral questions. Please be brief when you present your questions so that we can give the floor to the greater number of shareholders. And please wait to be given a microphone before putting your question. And please introduce yourself. And when you finish putting all your questions, we will proceed with the voting of the resolutions.

Good afternoon, dear shareholders. My name is Guillaume Dalio. I represent Kakao, shareholder of Legrand since its launch in 2021. We've always considered Legrand has a great investment. It has always generated cash, and as always presented a strong balance sheet. I was surprised by the issuing in June '25, of a convertible bond of EUR 800 million over 8 years. And unless I'm mistaken, this is the first 1 since the IPO in 2006. So my question is the following. What operational elements, financial and strategic led the Board to favor this mode of financing? And how will the Board justify a conversion premium of 45% when it is not very protective for the existing shareholders, considering the historical performance that you recall and very enthusiastic presented by the management. Thank you.

Thank you for your question. I will answer this question. we answered this question in writing also because actually, it's the same question. I think we even exchanged on this during the year. You have to -- remember the conditions we had at the time and why we had to have recourse to this type of financing. It's a very highly competitive financing. The coupon is half of the coupon of a normal bond 1.5%. Normally, we'd have had 3.35%. So very competitive coupon issuing premium, which is benchmark, 45%, which is a very good premium. The moment was very favorable -- the convertible bond was issued 2 days after Legrand reached its historical high. So that was the threshold to trigger this conversion, which was a very high threshold and the financial needs the traditional financial needs, which are the acquisitions -- so it is a traditional instrument that had not been used by Legrand in the past, as you recall, it was studied certain times by Lucent. It was used by a great number of companies of the CAC 40, peers of Legrand, other very good companies at a term, which was the right time for the company. And when you look at Legrand's stock exchange performance in the past few years, you can see that conversion is possible. It's good news. That means that the share has progressed and conversion, if it takes place, it will dilute the capital by 1.9%, which is not that greater amount. And we still have time to address dilution. Once again, if we properly manage the group's dilution, we avoided more modest dilutions for shares for the employee, the employee share ownership plan, et cetera. The number of shares went down from 2020 to '25 by EUR 5 million. And so that is the conversion -- hypothetical conversion of this instrument. So it's all these arguments that were brought to the Board, the diversification of the financing at a time that was the right time very competitive moment, no threat on the balance sheet, as I recalled earlier on, the S&P rating I gave to place after this. after this year, which was a very rich year. So these are the arguments I shared with the Board in June and it convinced us as Andrea.

I understand also that it was more than 50% increase in our stock price. It was not really a problem. It's a kind of problem we are happy with. We don't want to go in a recurrent cycle of convertible bonds, and you can be sure that we pay great attention to this even than a 3 people also convened for questions. Make sure you speak in the microphone.

My name is Christian Dara. Mrs. Board. We didn't talk about China, neither India. Are there any opportunities? Or are they threatening countries? Well, these 2 countries are 2 countries where we have a strong operation?

India is bigger than China. We've been there for a long time. We have an organic growth there, except for the 2020 year, which was a year of COVID and it's the fourth leading country of the group. We delocate their R&D and production -- and we use India as a base for the U.S. market. So India, we're probably the third leading country within the group enjoying a very high growth rate. China, it's a bit different. We're much smaller in China. -- highly competitive, access is difficult. Nevertheless, Legrand is profitable in China, but the real estate market has been suffering quite a lot in China recently. And this has an impact on us. We have shifted and we bought the Chinese leader of the cabinet for data centers 50% of our sales revenue will come from data center in China. So what we do at the group level also is true for China. And we're hoping that we will resume with growth, but we're smaller than India. Now is China a threat for our positions out of China, well, we are fortunate to be in a rather protected business, which is rather complex where there is a need of having a very high number of SKUs, 300,000 that I've already said, not necessarily the same for each country. So our sector is not necessarily targeted by the Chinese operators. But we have the strength to respond to this -- so in a nutshell, India is an extraordinary country for opportunities. I have more reservation regarding China because of our position, but we have good hope to resume with growth in these markets in the future.

Good afternoon, everyone. Christian Shaber, I'm any shareholder. I have a question about artificial intelligence. Could you make the difference between perception AI and generative AI and physical and agentic AI. Could you give us actual examples on physical and genicAI?

Well, we're not in the same position in the value chain of the AI business. We are allowing hyperscalers to install the equipment with the cabinet or we use AI for Agentic AI. I've talked about it in my presentation. Product support systems. It is an extremely complex and technical environment. And today, we have many, many people who are answering the phone to questions raised by various clients, be they individual or businesses. And -- we have -- we are using this tool for our aftersales services. And in long term, we will have them on our website to answer more relevant fashion to your questions. So that's an example of AgenticAI. Now for the actual physical part. I don't know what you're referring to. That is the infrastructure to support AI. These are all the solutions that we are putting on the market for data centers, even though we don't talked very much about it. We are partners of NVIDIA on some product solutions. We are working with them on the next generation of chips. So as to see how we can adapt our cooling systems, production system or testing systems, which will be on the market in the future. I hope I've answered your question.

Thank you for your explanation. I'd like to talk about the external growth. Cogeco -- is it an industry or an installer of Access Systems? Now let's talk about distribution networks and whether you're a prescriber. Do you have a direct contract with data center operators, such as OVH Cloud, for instance? Or are you providing technical solutions and not only equipment to those operators. Is it -- are you only selling parts or full-fledged systems?

I'll try and be brief to answer your questions, your many questions, Koge is a manufacturer of access control systems on -- in a building, for instance, your ring and it will send a signal to you as a dweller of the building or to the service, managing the access to the building, which is really coming as a complement to Legrand business. We are very good with the wired system while Cougle is using GSM solution for access to building it's a very good example of the industry in France. Cosgel is a leading employer in Cholet. So we were present in SonyLimo,Jantiv, Starsberg and various industrial sites in France, and we're adding Cole Now, are we acting as a company prescribing solutions. Well, if I take the French example, we have 3 sales reps in France. Very few of them are involved in distribution -- but these companies, these businesses are installers, smaller big ones or they are prescribing for buildings with architects and designers or more technical prescribers. So I do confirm that we do work a lot in the prescription side to have our products put in the terms of reference. Now the direct markets, that's some 80% of the data center market. We deal directly with operators such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon XII and in China, Tencent, Alibaba and others. That's most of our sales revenue. And we have also co-locators, as we call them, with data centers that are rented to hyperscalers. But I would say that more than 80% of data center contracts or direct contracts with direct customers.

There is another question here on the left.

Lonasen individual shareholder -- my question is the following. So the growth rate in the U.S. has been quite high. As you've explained -- my understanding is that it is because you're selling equipment for data centers. But once you've sold equipment, is there more revenue or sales revenue generated after that? In terms, like, for instance, of services, I've heard that there were some problems regarding power generation in the U.S. that the data centers are consuming so much power that it was even difficult for the local communities to have access to electricity or that the price of electricity went up too much and that the we wonder whether the power generation will be good enough to provide power to the data center. And my second question regarding financial aspects. You said it's -- the ForEx impact is excluded. I would assume that the euro-dollar exchange rates does have an impact on your business? Is there any hedging solution regarding this? Any way to compensate for it's losses due to ForEx. And I've been a shareholder for many, many years. And every year, you present that there are mergers and acquisitions. How can you make sure that it's not hotchpotch of different companies that are not truly Legrand labeled and that they are truly meeting the CSR objectives and that they do stand by the standards. While we know that in many countries, you have different standards.

Benoit will answer the first 2 questions. And the last question, and then Franck will answer the question regarding ForEx, foreign exchange.

No, there is a lot of presale and a little after sale for the data centers -- we sell a bit of services, supply of components, but 95% of the value is at the time of the initial equipment providing to the data center. What is an opportunity for future business -- it's made for by holes if all 1 is well completed, then -- and that their client is happy, they will ask for us to be involved in the construction and the equipment of all 2 to all 3, et cetera. So it's not truly after sales. Now for power generation, I think there is a bit of a exaggerated comment about this data center accounts for 3% of electricity consumption and 6% in 2030, global electricity consumption. We're not looking 30%. But it is true that in some areas in North Virginia, around Dublin, Amsterdam, highly dense population where it can account for 15% to 20% raising through social problems. Is it a problem? Well, it's an opportunity for Legrand. Quite the opposite, everything that we can do to reduce the energy electricity consumption of data center is PUE that is how much power do you actually need for the data centers. This PUE was 1.6% up until recently, 1.6 megawatt of electricity to have 1 megawatt of data center equipment running. Well, it is going down. So we're making data centers even more efficient and also means that there is new needs of generation few people know about it is that renewables, in spite of the Trump administration, the renewable market is really high because there's telly a payback between solar panels, wind power, et cetera, and the cost of these systems and the payback of these systems over the last acquisitions we've made in the U.S., I'm thinking about Cratos and Altran providing testing solutions have 50% of their turnover in data centers. And the other half, another energy transition-related items, PV panels, et cetera. So more products making data centers more efficient from the energy standpoint, and we're also working on energy generation products. I'll leave it up then to Franck answering the question regarding foreign exchange. Now regarding acquisitions, you've noticed that -- we've had 1 acquisition per month, more than we did prior to that. But we have some margin from Manor. It's an extremely industrialized process. So very quickly we have rules and procedures that are in place financial procedures to start with. The companies that are acquired are reporting their figures based on our Legrand same for CSR. They will have to meet our CSR road map. They have to comply with the same obligations as any other Legrand entity. And I think that all this is only in a rather efficient manner. There is a docking but no actual integration. We work in partnership with the targeted company's employees. It's a smooth process. And oftentimes, when these companies join Legrand, their growth rate will be accelerated. We're not talking about restructuring failing companies. It is a source of revenue and it is making our processes easier. Sometimes you have a few glitches. It might take more -- might take some time for more companies, but it's a docking system that works a lot and we've done many acquisitions and our margin has gone up.

Now regarding the foreign exchange impact, you're absolutely right to say that regarding the sales revenue we exclude the foreign exchange because what we control is truly organic and acquisitions. Our exposure is to the U.S. dollar, but a few other emerging currencies, 40% of our sales revenue is made in euros. But over the last decade, it's really nonsignificant. This foreign exchange impact. It's not because of hedging. We don't go for hedging. It's just that we have a kind of so-called natural hedging. For the -- based on the supply chain, we quite often manufacture in the region, where we sell. So ultimately, the foreign exchange doesn't have an impact on the margin on the value maybe, but the profitability is unchanged. So it is smoothed out and balanced out of over the year. It doesn't have an impact on the overall performance. And when we communicate our figures, excluding foreign exchange, it is better reflecting the actual reality of the group.

A question here on the right.

Good afternoon. I'd like to thank you all for this general meeting of shareholders. I've listened to you to a great attention. You are reassuring your shareholders because of the stability that you are presenting today and reporting today. I've listened to you with great attention when you talked about the data centers and that it will be a driver of organic growth of the group with Gadot and Siemens. Now my question is the following 1.9% of the expected growth rate for Europe. What is the growth rate you were expecting for data centers in Europe and in we have at the group level. Let me remind you, 26% of the sales revenue from data centers. We've said this year that they should grow by 10% to 20% organically. And at the end of the first quarter, we said it would be a higher level so closer to 20%. With possible good surprises now this growth rate is mainly observable in the United States, accounting for some 17% of the market. The data center market is not enjoying the same growth rate in Europe, unfortunately and in other countries either because the investments have just started -- and it takes some time between the time you invest the first euro dollar until the time the data center is actually built in France, you have a problem of connection to the grid. 1 kilometer of grid, it takes 1 to 3 months you need sometimes 2 to 3 years before you actually have data centers. But it's going to happen. All specialists agree on saying that the European data center market will be enjoying a high growth rates. It's a promising market, but the growth rate is not as rapid in Europe, France and Germany as in the United States.

There's another question here on the right.

#4, as I'm mistaken, you showed that you had activities in the charging of electric vehicles. Each time I stop, I try to see who is the manufacturer of the charging station. And I've now seen a station with Leon Rendino it. So maybe I didn't observe, well, please correct me if I'm wrong. Well, the question is, why don't we sell more stations who mean charging stations? Well, -- maybe you've seen stations with Eco Tap written on it. EcoTapis Lucratinos also Legrand or steal we are victims of our brand policy and all that we sell does not appear under the brand Leone. Now more seriously speaking, this is a highly competitive market. We have business with that less than 20% of our net sales. We don't have great ambitions in that sector because it highly competitive, and there are hundreds of players who manufacture stations and many of them are not profitable. What I'm interested in electrific issue is what's there behind the station that you can't see. And often, there's a transformer that isn't too far away a low-voltage panel measuring storage of enGen for a company like Lam -- that's where the value would lie as in the station itself. And when you charge in station XZOY, you would think that it's a circuit breaker of the company of which I'm a share.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Well, if there are no more questions, let's proceed to the vote of the resolutions. Our Investor Relations teams are always in contact with you, and you will always have the opportunity to contact them and discuss with them Emmanuelle. So I will give you the definitive quorum before proceeding with the vote the definitive figures for the shareholders present or represented are following 1,585 shareholders that represent 8.87% of the capital and the total number of shares with the voting rights of 211.397,917.

And I'm going to give the floor to Emmanuelle so that we proceed with the voting, thank you.
