L'Oréal, April 18th, 2019
ITEM 6: the 2019 remuneration policy does not comprise any change compared to 2018. Thus it carries the same weaknesses (excessive potential amounts and potential vesting in case of underperformance). Thus, we do not support item 6.
ITEM 7: for the first time, the company discloses individual achievement rates of the annual bonus financial criteria. However, it still does not disclose targets to be achieved, for confidentiality reason. We could hear this argument for an a priori disclosure, but in the case of a past fiscal year, this is not admissible. Moreover, it does not disclose either LTI performance criteria targets for the granted LTI or the vested LTI, which does not allow shareholders to estimate whether they are sufficiently challenging. For these reasons, and considering amounts at stake (€9.5 M), we do not support item 7.
