Mrs. Florence VonErb is considered to be independent according to the criteria of the AFEP-MEDEF Code of Corporate Governance.
3. Independence of Supervisory Board members
The Supervisory Board refers to the definition of independence contained in the AFEP-MEDEF Corporate Governance Code to determine
member independence.
The qualifications of independentmembers of the SupervisoryBoard are reviewed annually by theNomination andCompensationCommittee
with respect to those independence criteria.
An examination of Supervisory Board member independence was conducted by the Nomination and Compensation Committee in 2015.
Five of the nine Board members were considered independent: John Anthony Carrafiell, Bertrand de Feydeau, Bertrand Jacquillat, Catherine
Simoni and Rose-Marie Van Lerberghe, for an independence rate of 55.5%. In fact, even though Messrs. Jacquillat and de Feydeau have held
their offices for more than twelve years, the Supervisory Board considers that they have always shown complete independence in their
contribution to the Board’s work.
If resolutions 5, 6, and 7 and 8 proposed to the general meeting of shareholders are adopted, the independence rate will be raised to 60%
thanks to the appointment of Mrs. Béatrice de Clermont-Tonnerre to replace Mr. Jacquillat and the co-optation of Mrs. Florence Von Erb in
replacement of Mrs. Dominique Aubernon.
4. Gender balance
Until the resignation of Mrs. Dominique Aubernon, which occurred on December 11, 2015, three out of tenmembers of the Supervisory Board
were women, representing a proportion of 30%.
In order to increase the number of women on the Supervisory Board to 40%, it is proposed that the general meeting of shareholders (i) renew
the term of Mrs. Rose-Marie Van Lerberghe, an independent member of the Supervisory Board, for a period of three years, (ii) appoint Mrs.
Beatrice de Clermont-Tonnerre, an independent member of the Supervisory Board, for a period of three years and (iii) ratify the co-optation
of Mrs. Florence Von Erb as a member of the Supervisory Board for the remainder of the term of Dominique Aubernon,
i.e.
, until the general
meeting of shareholders convened in 2017 to approve the financial statements for the 2016 fiscal year.
Accordingly, should the general meeting of shareholders of the Company adopt all of the abovementioned resolutions, the Supervisory Board
would include, at the end of the meeting, four women, representing a proportion of 40%, in accordance with the recommendations of the
AFEP-MEDEF Code.
