A. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL: Shr Against For
Approve the external proposal has been filed
by FCPE Action Gaz 2005, one of the employees
shareholders vehicle, it amends the earlier
Resolution 14 on options for 0.50% of share
capital and tends to enlarge the beneficiaries
to all employees but equally, even if a greater
accessibility of employees to share-based payments
seems positive, we do not support this proposal
as we consider that egalitarian grants of options
must not be encouraged and that stock-options
grants must remain a remuneration tool in the
hand of the Board of Directors, we recommend
opposition
B. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL: Shr Against For
Approve the external proposal from the Suez
Action Gaz 2005 ESOP amends the earlier authorization
for restricted shares up to 0.7% of the capital
but here for all employees and equally, we
do not support as we consider that theses devices
must be used as element of the individual pay
and because the Board of Directors has already
implemented all-employees plans and asks shareholders
authorization to continue within the limit
of 0.20% of share capital [See Resolution 15],
we recommend opposition
C. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL: Shr Against For
Approve to cut total dividend to EUR 0.80 instead
of EUR 2.2, this external proposal from the
Suez Action Gaz 2005 ESOP is not based on the
strong increase of the 2008 dividend, last
year employees shareholders already suggested
to freeze the dividend, the motive is to increase
the investments and salaries instead of the
dividends; the resulting dividend would be
a reduction to only 57% of the ordinary dividend
paid last year and 36% of the total dividend

of the shareholders, we cannot support such
resolution which primarily opposes the interests
of employees and shareholders
