CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Role and compensation of executive company officers
2.4.2. FINANCIAL YEAR 2018 AND FOLLOWING In accordance with the second paragraph of Article L. 225-37-2 of the French Commercial Code, the principles and guidelines used to determine, structure and grant the fixed, variable and exceptional components of the total compensation and benefits of any kind received by the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer and any Deputy Chief Executive Officers, in recognition of their service in these positions, are presented below. It should be noted that the payment of variable and exceptional components of compensation is subject to shareholder approval at an Ordinary General Meeting of the compensation package for the individual in question.
In light of his career within the Group, his length of service, his circumstances, his significant contributions and the components of his compensation, the decision not to terminate his employment contract still seems to be in the best interests of the Company. A decision of this kind would carry great symbolic weight and would, in addition, be difficult to envision without an agreement to a set of terms in exchange. On the other hand, the possible disadvantages of maintaining the suspended employment contract have not been identified. Nonetheless, it should be noted that if Vincent Paris were no longer a company officer, his employment contract would remain in effect and would entitle him to claim pension or termination benefits, if applicable. The employment contract in abeyance is a standard employment contract without any specific clauses, particularly in the event of termination.
Presentation of the principles and guidelines used to determine, structure and grant the fixed, variable and exceptional components of total compensation and benefits of any kind received by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and, where applicable, any Deputy Chief Executive Officers, subject to shareholder approval at the General Meeting
