Proxy Report - 15/06/2018

Since July 18, 2017, Alexandre Bompard is Chairman and CEO of the Company, replacing Georges Plassat who retired. His termination package comprises a termination agreement amounting to €3,975,000, his pension plan (€517,810 per year) and his not yet vested performance shares previously granted (€2,525,600 as of December 29, 2017), i.e. a total amount of €7,018,410. Alexandre Bompard received a total amount of €5.2 M for 5.5 months in office. This level of remuneration hardly impairs the social cohesion considering that voluntary leave plans were implemented, that most hypermarkets will now be in leasing-management (which could highly impairs social agreement such as pension plans, that the company launched a cost reduction plan, that former Dia shops will be sold and that all these measures led to demonstrations and strikes.
