The payment of this Compensation will be subject to prior verification of the performance condition defined below. The performance condition (the “Performance Condition”) will be met in respect of a given financial year if at least two of the following three criteria are met consecutively over the two financial years preceding the date of departure of the Chief Executive Officer: – the IRR of the M.R.M. group must be at least 5%, – the change in the share price of M.R.M. over the reference period must not be more than 10% lower than that of the IEIF SIIC France index, – M.R.M.’s Climate Plan is in line with the roadmap approved by the Board of directors; • in the event of a Forced Departure, the Board will meet to determine whether or not the Performance Condition has been met. In the event that the Board determines that the Performance Condition has been met, the Compensation shall be paid to the Chief Executive Officer as soon as possible. For all practical purposes, it is specified that in the event of a Forced Departure before the expiry of a period of two years from the date of taking office as Chief Executive Officer, the Performance Condition will be considered as fulfilled if one of the above criteria is met over the time in office of the Chief Executive Officer. Except in the event of a Forced Departure and in particular, but without limitation, if the Chief Executive Officer resigns, no Compensation of any kind will be payable to the Chief Executive Officer. These criteria for the severance package contribute to the objectives of the remuneration policy as they aim in particular to promote the Group’s profitability and its attractiveness to investors and to accelerate its CSR strategy, a factor of long-term growth.
