Proxy Report 29/06/2018

Le renouvellement d’Eric Jacquet, Président Directe Général, est proposé en résolution 11. Selon notre politique de vote, les PDG fondateurs ou leurs descendants peuvent être si le conseil est majoritairement indépendant, et s’il ne bénéficie pas d’avantages au détriment des autres actionnaires (ni droit de vote double, ni rémunération excessive, ni convention réglementée significative dont il serait bénéficiaire). Or, en l'occurrence, si le conseil est bien majoritairement indépendant, il existe un droit de vote double dont M. Jacquet est le principal bénéficiaire. Par ailleurs, des conventions (baux commerciaux conclus avec S.C.I. Cité 44, la société Jeric et la S.C.I. de Migennes) bénéficient directement à M. Jacquet sans que les actionnaires puissent vérifier que les conditions auxquelles ont été conclus ces baux sont justes. Nous ne soutenons donc pas cette résolution 11.

Par ailleurs, la communication de la société est déficiente tant sur les montants de la rémunération attribuée au titre de 2017 que sur la politique à mettre en place au titre de 2018, ce qui ne nous permet pas de soutenir les résolutions 19 à 22.
