THE PREPARATION AND ORGANISATION OF WORK

SUCCESSION PLAN FOR THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD Early in 2018, the CAG-CSR Committee conducted its review of the succession plan for the Chairman of the Supervisory Board and deemed it of good quality and suitable for the needs of the Company. This succession plan covers: temporary interim succession (temporary absence of the Chairman, s e.g. due to illness or accident); unplanned succession (permanent impairment, death or resignation s 3.4.1

In early 2019 the CAG-CSR Committee acknowledged the written memorandum drafted and signed by Mr Éric de Seynes and confirmed that this succession plan, which remains unchanged, for the Chairman of the Supervisory Board is deemed of good quality and suitable for the needs of the Company. The succession plan for the Chairman of the Supervisory Board was co-signed by Ms Dominique Senequier then placed in two sealed envelopes, one of which was handed to the Chairwoman of the CAG-CSR Committee and the other to the legal department. In early 2020, the CAG-CSR Committee noted that this succession plan remained unaltered.
