Etude de l'AG du 9/12/2016
Proxinvest attire l'attention des actionnaires sur le manque d'indépendance au sein du conseil d'administration. Par ailleurs, la seule administratrice considérée indépendante selon nos critères détient trop de mandats dans des sociétés cotées et, pour cette raison, nous ne soutenons pas sa réélection. De plus, nous ne soutenons pas les élections des autres administrateurs car ils sont tous non-indépendants.
La rémunération du Président Directeur Général, Philippe Aymard, ne sera pas approuvée car la société ne verse pas de rémunération au titre de ses fonctions. En terme de gouvernance, cette situation n'est pas saine puisque Philippe Aymard exerce des fonctions opérationnelles à la tête de la société, il devrait donc être rémunéré pour ces fonctions. La société devrait améliorer sa transparence vis-à -vis des éventuelles rémunérations de son PDG.
La rémunération du Directeur Général Délégué, Emmanuel Rougier, ne sera pas non plus soutenue en raison de la structure (100% court-terme) et du manque de communication sur les cible et maximum ainsi que sur le taux de réalisation de son seul objectif de son bonus annuel, ceci malgré un montant modeste.
