1 Europe needs gas and Fluxys bridges the markets Natural gas for transportation - Role of an infrastructure operator Fluxys: gas infrastructure company for Europe Transmission BBL INTERCONNECTOR NEL DUNKIRK LNG TERMINAL TENP TRANSITGAS Storage Cross-border TSO in 6 countries Major gas transit operator Fully independent player LNG terminalling

2 Shareholders with long-term investment outlook Shareholders fully back the approach of Fluxys management to work from a long-term perspective Joint focus on a reasonable & stable long-term return Publigas and CDPQ in 2011 raised 450 million to strengthen the company s capital base with a view to its international development Additional capital increase of 140 million end Solid financials and strong human capital base Employees by location Key financial figures 2012 Fluxys consolidated IFRS in M Turnover 997 Operating profit 357 Net profit (group share) Equity (group share) 1825 Net debt 2051 Implicit investment grade A- or BBB Fluxys Belgium Europe Fluxys Belgium Europe Turnover Natural EBITDA

3 Infrastructure highlights Belgium: crossroads of international flows Reverse flow project TENP and Transitgas Upstream: connected to all major natural gas sources for Europe Optimum downstream flexibility Entry capacity: 113 bcm/y Exit capacity: 82 bcm/y Current backbone: flows east/west, west/east and north/south Reverse flow project for TENP and Transitgas > Enable south/north flows > Security of supply: gas landing in Italy available for NW Europe > Connect the gas trading places in Italy with those in NW Europe Our vision: Europe needs gas and Fluxys bridges the markets 1. Gas most appropriate fuel for backup of renewables > Environmentally > Technically: gas/power grid interoperability & gas-topower/power-to-gas 2. Future gas flows to Europe > LNG from NW to East > Pipeline gas from East to West and South to North 3. Natural gas for transportation > LNG for vessels > LNB for trucks > CNG for vehicles 4.
