Le dividende proposé s'élève à 0,36 € par action contre 0,30 € l'an passé, soit une augmentation de 20% alors que le bénéfice par action croit de 14%. Il n'est pas couvert par les bénéfices. L'endettement significatif de la société limite l'attrait d'un dividende pour l'actionnaire de long-terme, la société subisant un endettement important de longue date en raison de son activité. Il est légitime que le dividende d'une activité de concession soit élevé mais l'augmentation du dividende de 6 centimes par action nous semble prématurée (résolution 2).
La création et l'attribution d'une nouvelle catégorie d'actions de performance ("Action E") est proposée afin de rémunérer les dirigeants mandataires sociaux et cadres dirigeants. Les conditions de performance sont acceptables mais le plafond pour les mandataires sociaux dirigeants semblent trop élevés (résolutions 18 et 19). En revanche, l'attribution d'actions gratuites à l'ensemble des salariés est louable (résolution 17).
