COMBINED GENERAL MEETING OF 4 MAY 2021 EXPLANATORY STATEMENTS AND DRAFT RESOLUTIONS

The Supervisory Board has set itself objectives or principles in terms of optimal Board size, age limit, number of independent members and diversity (representation of women and men, nationalities, international experience, expertise, etc.), and has gradually changed the composition of the Board to achieve this. These proposed reappointments submitted to the vote of the General Meeting meet these objectives and principles, in particular by enabling a variety of skills and experience to be retained, covering each of the areas of expertise corresponding to the main operational issues facing the Hermès Group and the core subjects that the Supervisory Board and its committees are required to oversee as part of their duties. They also respond to the Board’s desire to maintain a composition that takes into account the specific nature of the Maison Hermès.
