Annual Incentive

The annual incentive program relies on a variety of metrics, mostly economic and measurable, that reflect a balanced set of priorities for the financial year followed by the Corporate Officers. No adjustments were made to performance targets for annual incentive purposes following their original communication to the market. In other words, consistent with governance best practice as well as Schneider Electric’s compensation policy for 2017, the 2017 annual incentive targets were not adjusted following the revised financial guidance in July and October. The measurable financial objectives for 2017 represented 75% of the variable compensation in cash of Messrs. Tricoire and Babeau. In total, 2017 performance resulted in an overall achievement rate of 152.40%, which represents 198.12% of Mr. Tricoire’s base salary and 152.40% of Mr. Babeau’s base salary with individual performance considered. These above target numbers reflect the strong results delivered by Schneider Electric in 2017.
