(2) As per IFRS standards. The number of performance shares granted represents a cap; in no circumstance, even in the case of overachievement of all targets, the number of shares acquired may exceed the number of shares granted. 25% (for Mr. Tricoire) and 15% (for Mr. Babeau) of the shares vested are subject to a holding requirement until such time as the Corporate Officer ceases duties. Furthermore, in the event of vested shares being sold, Messrs. Tricoire and Babeau are required to reinvest 10% of the price of sale in Schneider Electric shares (net of taxes and contributions). These obligations are suspended insofar as the Corporate Officers hold Schneider Electric shares with a value representing 3 times (for Mr. Tricoire) or twice (for Mr. Babeau) their base salary . On a Realized Basis Due to the extension of the performance period from 2 years to 3 years beginning in 2016, there is no realized value for Corporate Officer performance share awards for financial year 2017. As mentioned previously, since 2015 the Corporate Officers shall be responsible for building up their pension on their own. To this end, they receive a combination of fixed and variable amounts (subject to performance). To ensure consistency and comparability with other French or international companies, these amounts are not considered as regular components of compensation but as cash benefits. As part of the complementary payment for 2017, Messrs. Tricoire and Babeau are entitled to receive: Mr. Tricoire waived the financial year 2017 attendance fees to which he was entitled. €207,873 (1) Calculated by applying to the fixed compensation above the percentage of target achievement determined for the calculation of his variable compensation.

Tricoire and Babeau committed to depositing these additional payments, after taxes, into investment vehicles dedicated to the supplementary financing of their pensions. In compliance with applicable law, the payment of the variable amount will be subject to shareholders’ approval.
