* Executive corporate officers include the Chairman & CEO, the CEO, and the deputy CEOs of sociétés anonymes (public limited liability companies) with a Board of Directors, the Chairman and members of the Executive Board of sociétés anonymes with an Executive Board and a Supervisory Board, and the presidents of French partnerships limited by shares.
NoBoardmember had a business relationshipwith the Company during the course of the year under review. It is specifically noted that Jean-Hugues Loyez, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, is independent with regard to the Afep- Medef Code criteria. He had no business relationship with the company during the past year. In addition, he received no variable remuneration in cash or securities, nor any remuneration tied to the Company’s performance.
Two members of the Board, Jean Besson and Gérard Hascoët, have been members of the Supervisory Board since 16 April 1996 and 28 April 2004, respectively. Therefore, they are not considered independent because they do not meet the Afep- Medef Code criterion that requires less than 12 years of seniority. However, the Supervisory Board notes that Mr Besson and Mr Hascoët have always acted independently and continue to do so, and that their contribution to the Board is essential for Altamir.
