Proxy Report - 24/05/2018
ITEM 9: The Board of Directors meeting of February 20, 2017 decided to terminate the duties of Catherine Guillouard as Deputy CEO due to a divergence of views regarding the strategy. Therefore, under item 9, it is proposed to approve her severance payment of €1,627,076, i.e. 24 months of annual remuneration, which exceeds our 12-month ceiling. Moreover, performance conditions of this severance were not sufficiently challenging as they allowed a 100%-vesting with a 60% achievement of the target.
ITEM 8: Although the company’s disclosure on its 2017 annual bonus is one of the best of the French market, some actual inconsistencies remain: while some objectives were barely achieved, the company states that they were more than 200%-achieved. As the company does not provide any explanation on this matter, shareholders cannot link amounts granted and performance achieved.
