In the event of dismissal (except for gross negligence as defined by French labor laws) during the first two years of his appointment to these duties, the CEO will receive compensation, for which the gross amount will depend on the extent of achieving annual performance objectives, which shall be set by the Board of directors following recommendations from the appointments committee. In the event of reaching these objectives in accordance with the criteria set out and confirmed by the Board of directors, the gross amount of this compensation shall equal six months of remuneration on the basis of his fixed and variable annual remuneration for achieved objectives. Throughout the two-year period, this compensation is subject to approval by the General Meeting in accordance with applicable legal rules. The CEO benefits from the current life and disability insurance and supplementary health-insurance schemes, social security for company directors, a company car, assistance with filing his annual French and US tax declarations and reimbursement of reasonable business expenses incurred for performing his duties on presentation of appropriate receipts, in accordance with Company policy. The CEO does not receive any other remuneration for his corporate appointment. He does not therefore receive any multi-annual variable remuneration, exceptional remuneration or any allocation of options to subscribe to or purchase shares.

These items of remuneration will be subject to a resolution submitted by the Board of directors to the General Shareholder Meeting. The resolution will be worded as follows: “Having read the report on Corporate Governance provided for in article L.225-37-2 of the French commercial code, the General Meeting, ruling under the conditions for a quorum and majority required for Ordinary General Meetings, approves the principles and criteria for calculating and determining the breakdown between the fixed, variable and exceptional components comprising the total remuneration and benefits in kind, detailed in the aforementioned report and payable to the CEO, Mr. Geoffrey Godet, in respect of his corporate office.” 7° Benefits in kind
