2.1.1.2 Information about Company officers

Recommendation of the AFEP-MEDEF Code not applied by Assystem

Explanation

The AFEP-MEDEF Code recommends staggering directors’ terms of office in order to avoid re-electing all directors at the same time and to ensure a smooth re-election process.

Members of the Board of Directors of Assystem are elected for a three-year term but these terms are not staggered. Consequently, all of the Board’s members were re-elected in May 2014 and at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 16 May 2017, shareholders will be invited to re-elect them for a further three-year term. The Company’s decision in this respect was based on the underlying principles of the Articles of Association and the Rules of Procedure governing the Board’s membership structure. As Assystem has a majority shareholder, these principles guarantee fair and collective representation of all shareholders and the best interests of the Company, particularly in view of the presence of independent directors. It was therefore not considered useful to stagger directors’ terms of office.
