DURATION This delegation will come into effect on JuneɄ1, 2019 and remain in force until JuneɄ30, 2022. LIMITS The total number of shares which will be awarded under this resolution cannot exceed 2.5% of the share capital of Natixis at the date of the Board of Directors’ decision to award the shares. Free share grants to Natixis Executive Officers under this resolution cannot exceed a sub- limit of 0.1% of the share capital of Natixis at the date of the Board of Directors’ decision to award the shares (it being noted that these sub- limits would be deducted from the above-mentioned limit). IMPLEMENTATION METHODS Shares will only be allocated permanently following a vesting period, the duration of which will be set by the Board of Directors and which cannot be less than one (1) year. The retention period of shares by their beneficiaries will be, where applicable, set by the Board of Directors, it being noted that, in line with the law, the cumulative duration of the vesting and retention periods cannot be less than two (2) years. It should be noted that this draft resolution addresses the allocation of performance shares to members of the Senior Management Committee with a view to reinforce the alignment over time with the shareholders' and directors' interests. It also enables the payment of a portion of the variable annual compensation in the form of a conditional and deferred allocation of performance shares pursuant to Article L.225-197-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code in application of the relevant European regulation (“CRD IV”). The permanent allocation of all or part of the shares allocated to each beneficiary may be contingent on the achievement of one or several performance conditions, decided on by the Board of Directors, it being noted that for persons referred to in Article L.511-71 of the French Monetary and Financial Code including Natixis executive corporate officers, the existence of such performance conditions will be required in all events. Shares shall become fully vested and immediately transferable in the event that a beneficiary falling into the second or third categories laid down by Article L.341-4 of the French Social Security Code becomes incapacitated. This delegation of authority would expressly waive, in favour of the beneficiaries of share allocations, the shareholders' preferential subscription rights to shares that may be issued under this resolution and the corresponding waiver by shareholders in favour of the beneficiaries of said allocations of the part of the reserves, retained earnings, premiums or other items so incorporated, and, more generally, waives all the shareholders' rights to free shares (new or existing) that may be allocated pursuant to the present resolution. The Board of Directors will have full powers, with the right to sub-delegate said powers in accordance with applicable legislation and regulations, to put this resolution into effect and in particular to determine the identity of the beneficiaries, the number of shares that may be allocated to each of them as well the allocation conditions (e.g. duration of vesting and, where applicable, retention periods).
