Etude de l'AG du 05/05/2017

Item 2: The structure is weighted more towards rewarding long-term performance, the payout is aligned with performance, accelerated vesting in the event of a change of control is not possible, and the quantum is not excessive.

Item 3: The changes proposed to the Remuneration Policy include unjustified increases to directors' fees and an increased deferred bonus award, which would bring incentive remuneration above guidelines.

Item 6j: Re-elect the Chairman of the Audit Committee: She serves a non-independent Chairman of the Audit Committee, which does not meet UK best practice or ECGS guidelines.
