Board of Directors with the AFEP-MEDEF Code (§ 24.2) without changing the overall compensation at unchanged activity levels. Indeed, the Chairman of the Board of Directors continues to work full-time as stated in Section 1.1.3, “Overview of the activities of the Chairman of the Board of Directors in 2019”. The chart below shows how the fairness ratios provided for by Ordinance 2019-1234 of 27 November 2019 have varied over time. It has been prepared on the basis of the figures set out in the table titled “Fairness ratio” in Section 4, “Standardised presentation of compensation paid to company officers” in this chapter. It is the ratio of the Chairman of the Board of Directors’ compensation to the average and median compensation of employees within the relevant scope (88% of the workforce in France).

In 2017, the General Meeting of Shareholders approved a proposal to the General Meeting to suppress the variable component of compensation for the Chairman without altering the amount of his total compensation package. Under this proposal, the average amount of variable compensation paid since the last update of the fixed component in January 2011 was included within his fixed compensation, whose gross annual amount would thus be raised to €500,000 on a gross basis. This decision by the Board of Directors aims in particular to align the structure of the compensation received by the Chairman of the
