Mr. Arthur Sadoun will not be subject to a non‑compete obligation in the event of a forced departure. Thus, in any event, Mr. Arthur Sadoun may not receive both a severance payment and a non‑compete indemnity.
It is also recalled that, pursuant to article R. 22‑10‑18, III of the French Commercial Code, the payment of this indemnity is excluded if Mr. Arthur Sadoun retires and claims his pension rights.
In its twenty‑first resolution, the General Shareholders’ Meeting of May 31, 2017 approved this non‑compete indemnity in respect of the commitments subject to the related‑party agreements procedure.
It should be noted that the compensation policy for Mr. Arthur Sadoun as Chairman of the Management Board in respect of the 2023 financial year as well as the items paid or granted in 2022 to him were approved by 74.31% and 81.81% of the votes at the General Shareholders’ Meeting of May 31, 2023 (tenth and fourteenth resolutions) pursuant to, respectively, articles L. 22‑10‑26 II and L. 22‑10‑34 II of the French Commercial Code (ex ante and ex post vote).
