The total theoretical amount calculated (on the basis of the rate of achievement of future performance criteria of 100.2% and the stock price of €63) which is €1,237,670.28 has been capped at €937,500 in accordance with the rule mentioned on pages 172 and 173 of the 2013 Registration Document. Regarding the 2014 Performance Units Plan, note that the vesting period expired on March 6, 2017 and that the rate of achievement of the future performance criteria was 92.2% of the target and 61.5% of the maximum.
