Proxy Report - 28/05/2018
Cette année la Société change son mode de gouvernance et passe d’un Conseil de Surveillance à un Conseil d’Administration. Selon Proxinvest, il eut été préférable pour la société de saisir l'opportunité de ce changement de mode de gouvernance et de proposer des membres libres de tout conflit d'intérêt au sein du Conseil d'administration (résolutions 18 à 23). Par ailleurs, nous émettons des réserves sur les motivations de la Société à changer ce mode de gouvernance, et sur la possibilité d'une réunion des fonctions de Président et Directeur Général.
Nous nous opposerons au vote sur la rémunération de Michèle Lesieur, Présidente du Conseil, considérant que la Société manque de transparence : aucune pondération, aucune cible ni aucun taux de réalisation n'est communiqué. Par ailleurs, quelques 412 000 €, correspondant à l’attribution de 300 000 actions de performance, ne sont pas pris en compte dans le calcul de la rémunération totale (résolution 10).
Proxinvest s’opposera aux résolutions relatives aux augmentations de capital (résolutions 24 à 26, 30 à 33 et 38) dans la mesure où celles-ci appliquent des plafonds excessifs, et dont l’autorisation est parfois maintenue en période d’offre publique.
SuperSonic Imagine SA is a French company engaged in the ultrasound medical imaging field. The Company has developed the Aixplorer system, which uses the MultiWave technology, enabling the user to detect, characterize and, in the future, treat palpable and non-palpable masses. The MultiWave technology is based on combining two types of waves: an ultrasound wave that provides imaging in B-mode, and a shear wave, which measures and displays the stiffness of tissue in kilopascals. Aixplorer has several clinical applications: breast (and 3D breast), thyroid, abdomen, liver, musculo-skeletal, prostate, and gynaecological (excluding obstetrics). SuperSonic Imagine has both a direct sales and distribution network in more than 50 countries, including Hologic Inc for the breast care market in the United States, and Canon Marketing in Japan.
