Board Committees The Board of Directors is assisted in the performance of its tasks by four committees: the Audit Committee, the Nominations and Governance Committee, the Remunerations Committee and the Strategy Committee. Each committee formulates proposals, recommendations and assessments in its area of expertise, which is defined by its charter. To this end, it may decide to conduct any study that could assist the Board of Directors in its deliberations. The Chairman of each committee draws up the agenda for the meetings, which is then communicated to the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Proposals, recommendations and assessments produced by committees are compiled in a report to the Board of Directors. Board meetings Each year, the Board of Directors draws up a schedule of its meetings for the coming year, based on a proposal from the Chairman.
This schedule sets the dates for the Board of Directors’ regular meetings (in conjunction with the release of quarterly financial information, previous year’s annual results, half year results, meeting preceding the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, etc.). In addition to the meetings included in the schedule, the Board of Directors holds meetings whenever required by the Company’s circumstances. If necessary, the Directors meet in working sessions. In addition, the Directors may meet in “executive sessions”, in which the Chief Executive Officer does not participate. Directors’ right to information The Chairman is required to communicate to each Director all documents and information necessary to carry out his or her work. The Board Internal Regulations stipulates that Other than in connection with Board meetings, Directors shall be kept informed, on a regular basis and by any mean, of the financial and liquidity situation, of the Company’s commitments, as well as any significant event and transaction relating to the Company . During its meetings, the Board of Directors may consult with the Company’s outside financial and legal advisors.
