Changes to Chief Executive Officer François Riahi's compensation since 2018 (fixed portion + annual variable compensation awarded + performance share plan)

Severance payments and consideration for non-compete agreement

€ 160,000

On May 2, 2018, the Board of Directors decided that François Riahi would, effective from his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, be entitled to the same severance payments and consideration for non-compete agreement as his predecessor, the commitments and agreements for which were approved at the May 23, 2018 General Shareholders’ Meeting. Rules for calculating the severance payment The monthly reference compensation is equal to one-twelfth of the sum of the fixed compensation paid in respect of the last calendar year in activity and the average variable compensation paid over the last three calendar years of activity. The amount of severance pay is equal to monthly reference compensation x (12 months +1 month per year of seniority). The Chief Executive Officer will not receive severance payments in the event of gross negligence or willful misconduct, if he leaves the Company at his initiative to take another position or changes his position within Groupe BPCE. Furthermore, in line with the provisions of the Afep-Medef corporate governance code, the right to a benefit is contingent on meeting performance criteria and requirements, such as net income (Group share), ROE and the cost/income ratio reported for the two years prior to leaving the company. The Board of Directors will verify the satisfaction of these criteria as necessary: Average Natixis net income (Group share) for the period 1. in question equal to or higher than 75% of the expected budget average (1) for the period; Average Natixis ROE for the period in question equal to or 2. higher than 75% of the expected budget average (1) for the period; Natixis’ cost/income ratio less than 75% at the time of leaving 3. (last half-year closed).
