In accordance with article L. 225-100 (III) of the French Commercial Code, the General Shareholders’ Meeting must vote on the fixed, variable and extraordinary items of total compensation and benefits of any kind paid during the past financial year or awarded for that financial year to the Chair of the Supervisory Board.
The General Shareholders’ Meeting of May 27, 2020 will thus be asked to vote on the items of compensation paid or awarded in respect of the 2019 financial year to Maurice Lévy, Chair of the Supervisory Board, as set out below, being noted that Maurice
Lévy only receives a fixed compensation as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. These items comply with the principles and criteria of compensation of the Chair of the Supervisory Board with respect to the 2019 financial year presented in Chapter 3.2.1.2
of the 2018 Registration Document of Publicis Groupe SA as approved by the General Shareholders’ Meeting of May 29, 2019 in its fourteenth resolution.
The items of compensation of the Chair of the Supervisory Board were approved by the previous General Shareholders’ Meeting; the items of compensation paid as from June 1, 2019 to the Chair of the Board reflect his decision to waive a third of his
prior compensation while taking into account the vote of the Meeting.
It should be noted that the variable and extraordinary items of compensation are subject to the approval of the Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting in accordance with the provisions of article L.225-100 (III) paragraph 2 of the French Commercial
Code. Items within the total compensation and benefits of any kind paid during the past financial year or awarded with respect to the same financial year to Maurice Lévy, Chair of the Supervisory Board, are subject to the approval of the General Shareholders’
Meeting of May 27, 2020 in its eleventh resolution pursuant to article L. 225-100 (III) of the French Commercial Code.
