Therefore, at the General Meeting of 26 April, shareholders will be asked to approve the appointment of Jean Estin to join the other members already appointed. Since theGeneral Meetingof 23April 2015, the SupervisoryBoard has been composed of two women and four men, in compliance with legal provisions concerning gender parity.

The Supervisory Board has considered the repurchase of shares by the Company. Froma legal perspective, the SupervisoryBoard is not authorised to approve a share repurchase. That decision is reserved for shareholders, who may grant such an authorisation to the Management Company at their Annual General Meeting. Legal aspects aside, the Supervisory Board’s opinion is that the way tominimise the discount is bymeans of the following: steady, long-term performance; a consistent and attractive dividend; clear and open communication; rigorous valuationmethods; and no leverage at the Company level. The draft resolution related to the share repurchase programme specifies that the sole purpose of the programme is to ensure an active secondary market for the shares through a liquidity agreement. At the General Meeting of 26 April 2018, in accordance with the Audit Committee’s recommendations, the Supervisory Board will propose the renewal of Corevise’s appointment as Statutory Auditor for a period of six financial years, until the end of the Annual Ordinary General Meeting to be held in 2024 to approve the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2023, given their extensive knowledge of the Company and its particular characteristics. However, shareholders will be asked to neither renewnor replace Fidinter as alternate statutory auditor, since the 9December 2016 Sapin II law eliminated the requirement (Article L. 823-1 of the French Commercial Code) to designate an alternate statutory auditorwhen the incumbent StatutoryAuditor is not an individual or single-person company. 2.3.4 STATUTORY AUDITORS
