Etude l' AG du 31/07/2017

 Item 14: Appoint the auditors. Following the audit tender process undertaken last year, Deloitte is proposed as the new external auditor.
Item 17:  Approve the Remuneration Report. The structure is weighted more towards rewarding long-term performance, but accelerated vesting in the event of a change of control is possible and the quantum is excessive. Both the STI and LTI use ROE as a performance metric. Furthermore, the Company paid excessive benefits to the new CEO for his relocation to London and made a recruitment award to a new executive director.
