Each director receives, for their own participation in Board Meetings, a fixed sum of €8,000 each year, as well as a variable sum of €2,000 per meeting, payable based on their attendance, with the number of compensated meetings beingcappedat seven. Thus, a director who attends 100% of the BoardMeetingswill be paid the maximum compensationof €22,000 per year. In addition, compensation is earned for participation in the Board’s various Special Committees,if applicable. For example, a director who is a member of the Compensation Committee will collect, in addition to the compensation earned for being a director, fixed compensation of €2,000 per year for participation in the Compensation Committee, plus €1,000 for each meeting of the CompensationCommittee attended, with the number of compensatedmeetingsbeing capped at four, for a maximumtotal of €6,000 peryear, fora 100 % attendance rate. Furthermore, all directors are members as of right of the Strategic Committee and will collect €2,000 for their participation to the Strategic Committee annual meeting, and will therefore earn a total of €30,000 if they also attended all Board of Directors and Compensation Committee Meetings and the Strategic Committee annual meeting. The compensationpaid to the Chairmen of the Special Committees is greater than that paid to members, given the workload responsibilities involved. Moreover, in accordance with the rules applicable within GroupeBPCE, the portion of directors’ compensationgoing to BPCE directors (including that of the Chairman) is granted and paid to BPCE and notto the directors. It is specified that pursuant to article R.225-29-1(II)(5)of the French Commercial Code, the term of office of the Board of Directors' members is detailed in the composition of the Board of Directors

In the event of director's vacancy by death or resignation, the Board of Directors can, between two General Shareholders' meetings, make temporary appointments. Appointments made by the Board of Directors are subject to ratification to the next General Shareholders' meeting. At last, no director is bound by an employment contract and/or a services agreementwith the company. Chairman of the Board of Directors The compensationof the Chairman of the Natixis Board of Directors is determined by the Board of Directors in consideration of the Chairman’s experience and by benchmarking against the market.
