Proxy Report - 13/06/2018

Proxinvest l’avait annoncé dès début 2017, l’absence de communication des taux de réalisation de chacun des critères financiers du bonus entrainerait une recommandation de vote négative à la résolution relative aux rémunérations de l’exercice passé. C’est principalement pour cette raison que nous recommandons l’opposition à la résolution 7 relative aux rémunérations 2017 de M. Brédy.

Concernant la politique de rémunération 2018, si l’on apprécie que la société précise (ce qu’elle ne faisait pas l’an dernier) que le Président Directeur général pourra bénéficier de l’attribution d’actions gratuites et options, elle n’en précise toutefois pas les modalités. Ainsi, la société pourrait, comme elle l’avait fait dans le cadre des plans 2016, mettre en place des conditions de performance court-termistes (mesurées sur moins de 3 années pleines) et sujettes à la pratique inacceptable du retesting (si la condition de performance n’est pas atteinte à la fin de la période de performance, elle est re-mesurée plus tard, et ce jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit atteinte, dans le limite de la durée du plan). Pour ces raisons, nous recommandons l’opposition à la résolution 6.
