Etude de l'AG du 17/05/2017

ITEM 7: The company proposes to increase its Chairman and CEO's fixed remuneration up to €700,000. In return, it proposes to decrease target and maximum bonuses to 100% and 135% respectively (vs 109% and 163% in 2016). We would have preferred a smaller increase repeated on several years.
Moreover, the company proposes to implement a LTIP. Hence, the 2017 Chairman and CEO's remuneration structure is more in line with our Guidelines than the previous structure.
Furthermore, amounts at stake remain moderate (the theoretical maximum total remuneration of €2,122,500 represents 80% of the SBF 120 median and 67% of the Industrial Goods and Services median). In addition, the company indicates that in 2017, it will improve its disclosure (individual achievement rates will be disclosed).
Thus, we support this resolution.
