Attendance fees and other compensation received by corporate officers 2.4.3 In compensation for the time spent participating in Board and Committee meetings, the Company was authorized by the Combined Shareholders’ Meeting of May{18, 2016 to pay attendance fees to directors of up to €1,200,000 per year. The method of allocating attendance fees between directors was reviewed in 2014, following the external assessment of the Board of Directors performed in 2013 and sought to take better account of the increasing workload of committee Chairmen and encourage good attendance at meetings as well as of the travel time of Directors resident outside France. Accordingly, attendance fees are now allocated on the following basis: payment of a fixed amount of €15,000 per year to each X director; payment of a fixed amount of €4,000 for each attendance at X an official meeting of the Board; payment of a fixed amount of €2,500 for each attendance at a X meeting of one of the four Specialized Board Committees (excluding the Committee Chairmen); payment of additional attendance fees of €5,000 per Board or X Committee meeting to take account of the travel time of directors resident outside Europe and of €2,000 for directors resident outside France but in Europe. This additional attendance fee is not allocated to Directors representing employees, whose travel costs are covered otherwise; attendance fees are calculated in two{parts, at the end of the first six{months and at the end of the year and are paid in two installments; these fixed amounts could be reduced if circumstances X require the Company to hold a greater than scheduled number of meetings, resulting in aggregate attendance fees exceeding the threshold authorized by the Combined Shareholders’ Meeting.

attendance fees for the Specialized Board Committees were X set with regard to the specific role of each committee and the ongoing work required of Chairmen, who now receive a fixed annual payment of: €45,000 for the Lead Independent Director and Chairman of ❚ the Ethics and Governance Committee and €45,000 for the Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, €35,000 for the Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee, ❚ €25,000 for the Chairmen of the Compensation Committee ❚ and the Strategy & Investment Committee;

It is recalled that Mr.{Paul Hermelin voluntarily waived his right to collect the attendance fees that should have been paid to him as director of Capgemini SE. in respect of 2017 (as he has done for the last eight{years). In application of the above principles these principles if fully applied, would have driven a €1,222,250 distribution, and after applying a reduction mechanism, total attendance fees of €1,199,990 were paid to directors in respect of 2017, representing 100% of the maximum amount authorized by the Combined Shareholders’ Meeting. After deduction of French and foreign withholding tax, a net amount of €779,449 was paid in respect of 2017.
