Worldline has three Global Business Lines , each with its own portfolio of services, solutions and significant opportunities for growth, that together form the foundation for the Group’s business strategy: the Merchant Services global business line primarily ● targets merchants, helping them build consumer intimacy through its broad portfolio of electronic payment solutions and value added services, across sales channels; the Financial Services global business line targets banks ● and other financial institutions. Its mission is to provide a complete range of payment services for banks in a challenging and evolving regulatory environment, by leveraging the Group’s industrial scale processing operations and continuously providing innovations that support alternative pricing models, while taking into account new payment methods and value added services; the Mobility & e-Transactional Services global business ● line goes beyond traditional payment transactions, helping business and government entities develop new paperless digital services and evolve their business models by leveraging digital advances in mobility and data analysis and solutions originally developed in the Group’s payment business. The Group operates its business through a unified worldwide strategy for carrying out contracts aimed at maximizing economies of scale by leveraging a combination of standard processes and tools, shared best practices and efficient use of global resources to deliver high quality services at competitive prices.

Group overview Interviewwith Gilles Grapinet [GRI 102-14]

Interviewwith Gilles Grapinet [GRI 102-14] A.3

Did Worldline achieve its aims in 2017? When looking at our 2017 achievements, there are many reasons for satisfaction. 2017 was a milestone year for Worldline. It was the first year of our 2017-2019 plan and the first full year after the merger with Equens. We recorded significant organic revenue growth, with our Group reported growth accelerating exactly as anticipated in the second half of the year. We improved our profitability by c. 240 bp and had a strong cash flow generation. Supporting these results, in 2017 we completed the very successful first phase of the integration of equensWorldline. And to prepare our future growth, we launched many highly innovative offers and had a very active commercial development in the second semester, which is materializing in an all-time high pipeline of commercial opportunities. Since its IPO Worldline clearly focuses on mergers and acquisitions. Can you remind us of the key achievements on that front in 2017? We started by focusing on the successful integration of our 2016 acquisitions. 2017 proved to be a remarkable first year of the integration of equensWorldline – the merger between Equens and the former Worldline financial processing entities in Europe – which demonstrated our ability to combine operations, generate synergies and create a common culture within a very short timeframe. Worldline is now established as the most important and sizeable financial processor in Europe and has several growth opportunities lying ahead. We simultaneously pursued identifying value-creative acquisition opportunities, allowing us to sign and close 4 new transactions last year: with First Data Baltics, Digital River World Payments, MRL Posnet and, at the very end of the year, Diamis. Acquiring First Data Baltics is a very interesting move as we have strong ambition to accelerate our growth in the Nordic countries. The new ’Worldline Baltics’ has given our Group a leading presence Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, where we now have a number 1 position as payment processor for banks. The acquisition of Digital River World Payments, headquartered in Sweden, provides Worldline with a leading global payments gateway with sophisticated collecting capabilities, very complementary to our existing internet payment gateway. It means we can now address one of the most promising market segments of global payments; namely, international internet payments of global merchants. Regarding the reinforcement of our position in emerging markets, and in particular in India, we were very pleased to close the acquisition of MRL Posnet, as this company fits in perfectly with our existing operations in this country. It allows our Group to have a unique presence in one of the fast growing payment markets in the world. Finally, we acquired Diamis, a payment software vendor to leading banks in Europe and renowned for its global payments and liquidity management software suite. Howwill innovation support Worldline’s plans for growth? Innovation is clearly the life blood of our business. Our customers choose us for the quality of our services, for our cost competitiveness, and because they want a long term partner who will keep on innovating, who will help them keep pace - and stay ahead! - of their competition. In 2017 we invested more than

100 m€, close to 7% of our revenue, in our high-end processing platforms and solutions. It shows how focused on innovation our company is. More than ever, we will continue making innovation one of our strongest differentiators. We will continue to be an IP-rich company, because now we can also leverage all the benefits of our enlarged scale in our R&D activities. We are a recognized authority on payments innovation: for example, we started investigating the potential of blockchain technology four years ago, long before it became a buzzword, and we started to implement some first blockchain-based projects in the real world. Today, another of our R&D priorities is the application of Artificial Intelligence to payments. But whether it is short term incremental improvements or long-term disruption, our innovation agenda is determined by what our customers need to better succeed in the future. Whether they are merchants competing with Internet pure players or banks responding to technological and regulatory disruption, they rely on us for our fresh thinking and technological prowess as key contributions to their future success. What is the role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at Worldline? CSR is a personal obsession of mine as it relates fundamentally to building a very solid business, performing well in the short term but also equally able to stand the test of time for the decades to come and to properly meet the expectations of all the stakeholders of the company. At the end of the day, it is the same thing as good management. I believe a company can be a true leader only if it is also a leader in CSR. When our customers outsource their operations to us, it will generally be for many years. They can make such informed decisions because they know we are in this business for the long term, and we do everything to ensure our business is robust and sustainable. At Worldline, the targets of our Trust 2020 program are engrained into all aspects of our business. Innovation, quality of service and security, our carbon footprint, and the ethical and respectful treatment of employees and customers are all absolutely critical to who we are as a company and to our long-term future. What are your priorities for 2018? One priority is to continue to accelerate our organic growth and to deliver our profitability and cash targets in line with our 2017-2019 plan. We will continue to benefit from the integration of equensWorldline and our acquisitions in 2017, extracting synergies and bringing to our customers the benefits of our increased scale and portfolio. From a strategic stand-point, we remain committed to achieving the necessary consolidation of the fragmented European payments industry and we will continue to focus on value-creative M&A opportunities. Worldline needs to remain at the heart of all the trends and innovations that are reshaping the payment industry. Regulations to encourage open banking in Europe and the advent of instant payments have the potential to profoundly change the customer experience while online payments and digital technologies are opening up new sources of growth to merchants, industrial enterprises and governments. Worldline is ready to help all its customers seize the opportunities of these transformations, in Europe and worldwide. Gilles Grapinet Chief Executive Officer

Group overview Worldline in 2017 [GRI 102-7]

April 6, 2017 Worldline Ranked as aMarket Leader in OvumDecision Matrix forWhite-Label MobileWallet Solution Worldline has been ranked market leader in the recently published “Ovum Decision Matrix: Selecting a White-Label Mobile Wallet Solution, 2016-17". Worldline’s solution presents a very innovative technology that is highly configurable, API-driven, strongly focused on security and fraud prevention, and integrated with many major e-commerce PSPs. A high level of support capabilities enables clients to get the best out of the solution. Revenue was € 374.3 million, representing an organic growth of +1.4% at constant scope and exchange rates compared to the first quarter of 2016. The Global Business Lines Merchant Services and Financial Services contributed to the revenue growth, while Mobility & e-Transactional Services was still impacted, as in H2 2016, by the termination of one historical contract in France, which occurred in June 2016 and which therefore will affect Worldline growth for the last time in Q2 this year. Excluding the comparison basis impact resulting from this contract termination, the growth rate of the rest of the businesses was +6.0%. May 12, 2017 Worldline continues to strengthen its position in Corporate Social Responsibility ratings Worldline’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) performance has been rewarded by two new ESG rating agencies: Oekom and MSCI.
