Altice - 2018, November 20th
ITEMS 2a and 2b: It is proposed to elect Philippe Besnier and Nicolas Paulmier as non executive directors. Both have close links with Numericable, a formerly listed subsidiary of the Group. Therefore, as the Board is only 12.5% independent, such elections cannot be supported.
ITEM 4: it is proposed to delete, under article 24.1 of the Bylaws, a disposition very similar to a counterpower. Considering that the President (Patrick Drahi) already has a lot of powers over the company and its Board (article 24.1 gives him a veto right for example), to delete said disposition is not in shareholders' best interests.
