Eutelsat Communications - 2018, november 8th

Items 5 and 6: The board doesn’t comprise a majority of independent directors, however Proxinvest will support the re-election of BpiFrance Participation as it is the main shareholder of the company. However the re-election of Ross McInnes will not be supported even if he is considered as independent considering that he has too many directorships in listed companies.

Item 7 to 13: The compensation report has a high level of disclosure and the quantum respects mainly our guidelines. Moreover the company decided to change some of the performance conditions to avoid repetition between the STI conditions and the LTI conditions and the company will reduce the maximum value given through the LTI.These improvements allow Proxinvest to support items 9 to 13. However, item 7 will not be supported as the compensation of Michel de Rosen on an annual basis is excessive compared to his peers’ compensations.
