Publicis Groupe decided to set up a share plan each year for management and certain key employees of the Groupe. As a member of the Management Board, Anne-Gabrielle Heilbronner is eligible for this plan since 2021. Under this plan, the number of shares that may be delivered at the end of a three-year vesting period (except in the event of death or disability), i.e. in March 2024 for the “LTIP 2021 Directoire” and March 2025 for the “LTIP 2022 Members of the Directoire” plan and in March 2026 for the “LTIP 2023 Membres du Directoire” plan, will depend – for 90% of the shares awarded – on Publicis Groupe’s average financial performance over a three-year period (2021-2023 for the “LTIP 2021 Directoire” plan and 2022-2024 for the “LTIP 2022 Members of the Directoire” plan and 2023-2025 for the “LTIP 2023 Membres du Directoire” plan) as compared with the financial performance of a peer Groupe comprising WPP, Omnicom, IPG and Publicis Groupe, plus two conditions relating to Corporate Social Responsibility for 10% of the shares awarded.
In each of these plans, assuming the performance conditions are met, entitlement to receive shares is subject to a presence condition until the end of the vesting period. Details of these plans are presented in Section 3.2.1.4.
