Etude de l'AG du 10/05/2017

Despite the high level of constestation regarding the Bon Bretons (Authority to issue warrants as an anti-takeover device) neither the supervisory board nor any of the three lagest shareholders (DongFeng, the French state, and the Peugeot family) have ended this practice. As such we oppose the authority to issue these warrents in Resolution 32)

We believe shareholders should support the issuance of warrants to General Motors in the framework of acquisition of Opel/Vauxhall (Resolution 31). We note that the acqusition is supported by the Company's three largest shareholders.

We oppose the 2017 remuneration policy votes (Resolutions 16 & 17) because the new policy proposes increase bonus targets and maximums leading to excessive remuneration for Carlos Tavares (Chairman of the Management board) who already recieved 6 M€ in 2016 under the old plan. And leadind to excessive amounts of remuneration for the other members of the management board.
