(1) As Net Revenue is only available from the year 2017, the Groupe’s performance for 2016 is based on Revenue.

(2) Élisabeth Badinter’s term of office as Chairman of the Supervisory Board ended on May 31, 2017. Maurice Lévy took over as Chairman of the Supervisory Board on June 1, 2017.

(3) In order to provide a valid financial comparison, the compensation paid to Élisabeth Badinter in 2017 was annualized (i.e. euro 300,000) for the purposes of calculating ratios and changes in compensation compared with the previous financial year.

(4) The 2017 ratios take into account the compensation paid to Élisabeth Badinter in 2017, the portion of the compensation of Maurice Lévy solely pertaining to the period from June 1 to December 31, 2017 having been paid in 2018.

(5) The term of office of Maurice Lévy as Chairman of the Management Board ended on May 31, 2017. Arthur Sadoun took over as Chairman of the Management Board as from June 1, 2017.

(6) In order to provide a valid financial comparison, the ratio for 2017 and the evolution of compensation, compared with the previous financial year, were calculated on the basis of the following basis: firstly the compensation paid in 2017 to the outgoing Chairman of the Management Board, Maurice Lévy, adjusted to reflect (1) the period compensated (namely 12 months in 2016 and the first five months in 2017, i.e. a total of 17 months) and (2) the effective term of the outgoing Chairman of the Management Board for 2017, i.e. five months, the compensation thus calculated for 2017 amounts to euro 1,041,667; and secondly, the compensation paid in 2017 for the incoming Chairman of the Management Board, Arthur Sadoun, i.e. euro 2,276,105, thus a total amount of euro 3,317,772.

(7) The term of Kevin Roberts as a member of the Management Board ended on August 31, 2016. The term of office of Steve King as a member of the Management Board began on June 1, 2017.

(8) The compensation paid in respect of 2016 to Kevin Roberts was annualized (i.e. euro 4,123,293) for the purposes of calculating ratios.

(9) The compensation paid in respect of 2017 to Steve King was annualized (i.e. euro 2,133,811) for the purposes of calculating ratios.
