Principles and rules for determining the policy The compensation policy for the Executive Director is set by the Board of Directors based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and the following principles for determination: Compliance In its analysis and proposals to the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee is particularly careful to follow the recommendations of the AFEP-MEDEF Code, which the Company uses as reference. Overview and balance All components of the compensation and other benefits are analysed exhaustively each year using an element-by-element approach and then an analysis of overall consistency to achieve the best balance between fixed and variable, individual and collective and short- and long-term compensation. Simplicity and consistency Based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors seeks to implement a compensation policy for the Executive Director that is straightforward, easy to understand and consistent with that of the Group’s senior executives. Motivation and performance In its recommendations to the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee seeks to propose a compensation policy commensurate with the responsibilities of each recipient and in line with the practices of comparable large international corporations, and seeks to maintain a good balance between fixed compensation, variable annual compensation and long-term remuneration. Lastly, the variable compensation policy (in particular setting the criteria for the annual variable portion as well as the performance conditions for stock options and performance-based shares) is kept under regular review, based on the Group’s strategic priorities and in alignment with shareholders’ interests. Role of the Compensation Committee The Compensation Committee oversees the strict application of all these principles in the context of its work and its recommendations to the Board of Directors, both for drawing up the compensation policy for the Executive Director and for determining the amounts of compensation allocated. Potential change of governance Where a new Chairman & CEO, a new Chief Executive Officer or Deputy Chief Executive Officer(s) are appointed, the components of the compensation and the policy and criteria set out in the Compensation Policy for the Chairman & CEO shall also apply to them. The Board of Directors, on the recommendation of Compensation Committee, shall then, by means of adaptation to the situations of the interested parties, determine the objectives, performance levels, parameters, structure and maximum percentages compared to their annual fixed compensation, which may not be higher than those of the Chairman & CEO. Fixed annual compensation The fixed portion of the compensation of the Executive Director is determined based on: the level and complexity of their responsibilities; ● their experience and their career history, particularly within the ● Group; and market analyses for comparable functions. ● Every year, a study is carried out with the help of specialist firms on the positioning of compensation for the Executive Director in relation to the practices of international companies in the beverage sector and also of CAC 40-listed companies for similar positions.
