Chairman of the Board of Directors in February 2016 (while taking into consideration the evolution of the market). The Board of Directors also relied on a benchmark study carried out by an external advisor
(Willis Towers Watson) on compensation practices for similar roles in a sample of CAC 40 and
SBF 120 companies, excluding finance and luxury sector companies1.

the Shareholders' Meeting of May 26, 2021 will be called upon to approve the elements of the compensation policy of the Chief Executive Officer in anticipation of the separation of the roles of
