LAUNCH OF VIRTUAL SITE VISITS
In 2021, members of VINCI’s Shareholders’ Club were invited on an unprecedented virtual tour of the construction of the new hospital in Reims. Exceptional images of the extensive worksite and some 10 interviews with staff on site gave shareholders insight into the issues and stages involved in such a project. Participants were enthusiastic about the digital tour, and another will be scheduled in 2022. Meanwhile, in-person events resumed, including conference cruises in Paris, Lyon and Marseille and a visit to the Stade de France.
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE GROUP’S EXECUTIVES
VINCI’s Shareholders’ Club held its eighth “In private with VINCI” competition in 2021. The six winners were invited to a lunch with Yves-Thibault de Silguy, Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, at the Stade de France. Such meetings foster face-to-face discussions with senior management in a relaxed atmosphere and enable individual shareholders to better understand VINCI’s strategic priorities, outlook and performance. More than 10,000 shareholders have taken part in this competition since its creation.

Institutional investors and financial analysts
Throughout the year, VINCI’s senior management and investor relations team keep the financial community informed of the Group’s news, strategy and financial and non-financial performance.
As in 2020, the pandemic prevented travel for in-person meetings. Despite this restriction, the Group Investor Relations Department remained in close contact with the financial community (financial analysts, investors and credit rating agencies) through press releases, digital presentations and virtual conferences.
In addition to meetings held at the time of the publication of its quarterly and annual results, VINCI devoted about 20 days in 2021 to roadshows hosted by major financial institutions. Most of these were virtual events held as video conferences and attended by investors based mainly in Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and the Middle East.
Through these initiatives, the Group stayed in continuous touch with the financial markets and maintained regular contact with close to half of the Group’s institutional shareholders.
