Proxy Report - 17/05/2018

Le principal sujet de cette assemblée est l'acquisition par Unibail-Rodamco de la société américaine Westfield (résolutions 9 à 14). L’opération proposée est stratégiquement cohérente et financièrement acceptable pour les actionnaires d'Unibail-Rodamco. Les impacts de cette opération sur l'actionnariat et la gouvernance sont eux aussi acceptables puisque l’actionnariat restera plutôt diversifié et le conseil de surveillance du nouveau groupe sera toujours majoritairement indépendant.

Cependant, en cas de réalisation de l'opération, la politique de rémunération des membres du Directoire pour 2018 sera modifiée afin d'intégrer notamment l'augmentation du fixe (+25% pour le Président du Directoire) et l'augmentation du bonus maximum (+66,67%), portant ainsi la rémunération totale maximale du premier dirigeant de 4M€ préalablement à cette opération à 5,6 M€ (+40,6%).
L'adoption de pratiques américaines inflationnistes et peu saines n'est pas acceptable et nous ne soutenons pas les résolutions 25 et 26.
