LDC SA - Proxy report - 23/08/2018
Le conseil de surveillance ne comporte que deux membres libres de conflits d'intérêts selon les critères de Proxinvest. Dans ces conditions, les renouvellements des mandats de la société CAFEL et de Jean-Paul Sabet ne seront pas soutenus, d'autant que la durée de six ans de leurs mandats est trop longue pour permettre aux actionnaires de se prononcer régulièrement sur la composition du conseil (résolutions 6 et 7).
Les rémunérations des dirigeants apparentés aux principaux actionnaires sont acceptables malgré une transparence insuffisante et l'absence de part à long-terme. En effet, les montants sont raisonnables et leurs positions d'actionnaires alignent leurs intérêts avec ceux des autres actionnaires. Cependant, la rémunération de Philippe Gelin, qui a rejoint le Directoire en mars 2017 et qui ne semble pas lié aux familles actionnaires, comporte une attribution d'actions trop généreuses et appréciée sur seulement 30 mois, période insuffisante pour être considérée comme du long-terme. Aucune garantie de modification n'est donnée pour 2018. Dans ces conditions, les résolutions 10 et 13 ne seront pas soutenues.
