The performance achieved in 2017 was 20.1%, representing 48% of the fixed compensation, W the target defined was 12% of fixed compensation (target value) for an organic growth of revenues of +1.5%, such figure varying between 0% and 18% of the fixed compensation for an organic growth in revenues between 0% and +3% (annual target disclosed to the market at the beginning of 2017). The performance achieved in 2017 was +3.1%, representing 18% of the fixed compensation, W the target defined was 8% of the fixed compensation (target value) for a growth in 2017 revenues (including the effect of the acquisitions) of 5%, such figure varying between 0% and 12% of the fixed compensation for a growth of revenues (including the effect of the acquisitions) between 0% and +10%. The performance achieved in 2017 was +7.8%, representing 10.2% of the fixed compensation,

Therefore, for the 2017 financial year, quantifiable and qualitative targets were achieved up to 90.3% (equal to 108.4% divided by 120%) out of the maximum, i.e. 135.5% (equal to 108.4% divided by 80%) of the target. As a result, Mr. Gilles Schnepp’s variable compensation for 2017 amounted to €677,500. However, on his own initiative, Mr. Gilles Schnepp waived a portion of his variable compensation for 2017 in order to maintain it at the 2016 level of €535,000. The principles (as well as the achievements) governing the determination of the variable portion of Mr. Gilles Schnepp’s 2017 annual compensation, as calculated in the above table, are as follows: a) the target value of the quantifiable portion was set at 60% of the fixed compensation, with a possible variation between 0% and 90% of said fixed compensation. The 2017 achievement of this quantifiable portion reached 79.4% of the fixed compensation, determined as follows: W the target defined was 32% of the fixed compensation (target value) for a 2017 adjusted operating margin (based on the
