The Nomination and Remuneration Committee met for the first time on 2 November 2016 and discussed the following items: the introduction of a hurdle rate on co-investments due to shareholders before payment of any carried interest to Class B shareholders. This issue will be included on the agenda for the Company’s next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders; a review of the impact of lines of credit on the calculation of management fees. These issues were the subject of a detailed presentation to the Board, which verified that they are in compliance with the provisions of the Articles of Association. A second meeting was held in February 2017, to review the management succession plan and change the composition of the Audit Committee. To reflect the recommendations of the Afep-Medef Code regardingAudit Committee independence and Board member tenure, Gérard Hascoët resigned from the Audit Committee, while remaining amember of the Supervisory Board. The Board acknowledged his resignation and appointed Sophie Etchandy-Stabile, an independent Board member, as a member of the Audit Committee. Attendance fees pertaining to 2015 and paid in 2016 totalled €260,000 (allocated€260,000). Theywerepaidaccording to the allocation rules approved by the Supervisory Board on 4 March 2014, as follows: 40% unconditionally (fixed portion); 60% depending on attendance (variable portion): if themember attendsmore than 80%of themeetings: 100% of the variable portion, if themember attendsbetween50%and80%of themeetings: a pro rata amount based on attendance, if the member attends less than 50% of the meetings: no variable portion.
