1.The SONELGAZ group;

Heir to Electricity and Gas of Algeria (EGA), SONELGAZ has exercised its public service
mission since 1969 and has since continued to embody the dynamics of the country.
Constantly evolving to better adapt to its environment, and above all, to better meet the
requirements of a changing Algeria, the company continues today to assume its role by
actively contributing to the management of major structuring projects. which require national
mobilization.

After having taken up the challenge of ensuring continuity of service from independence by
courageously taking over after the departure of the settlers, after having supported the
country's development plans by succeeding in electrifying the entire territory and developing
the works gas companies to achieve today a natural gas penetration rate of nearly 44%,
SONELGAZ was able to meet the challenge of restructuring by adapting to a new economic
context translated by law 02-01 of 5 February , 2002 relating to electricity and gas distribution
by pipes. Indeed, the said law, in its article 165, stipulates that the Algerian Company of
Electricity and Gas, which retains the name of “SONELGAZ. Spa”, is transformed into a
“holding company for joint stock companies”. The Group today has, in addition to the parent
company, 33 subsidiary companies and 6 directly-held companies.

From now on, the parent company mainly carries out the tasks of managing the portfolio of
shares held in the Group's companies, internal audit and control. Its mission is also to develop
and implement the development strategy of the Group as a whole.

As a reminder, the transformation process of SONELGAZ began in 2004 with the creation of
three business companies: SPE, for the production of electricity, GRTE for the transport of
electricity and GRTG for the transport of gas.

The process continued in 2006 with the emergence, on1 January , of four electricity and gas
distribution companies (SDA, SDC, SDE and SDO) and an electrical system management
company. national (OS).

At the same period, the “Works” companies (KAHRIF, KANAGAZ, INERGA, ETTERKIB,
KAHRAKIB) were attached to the SONELGAZ Group by decision of the public authorities,
for better efficiency in the construction of energy works.
The creation on1 January , 2009 of the engineering companies CEEG, information systems
ELIT and real estate management SOPIEG as well as the integration of the company
ROUIBA Eclairage marks the completion of the transformation of SONELGAZ into a
holding company.
