FOR: _____ AGAINST : _____ ABSTAIN : _____

In respect of the provisions laid down under Article 520ter of the Companies Code concerning variable remuneration for the members of the Management Committee and the need to spread variable remuneration payments over a three year period in case certain thresholds are passed, the Board of Directors states the following:

  • The principle of a spread over a three year period of variable remuneration payment would be applicable to the Managing Director and CEO, Olivier Chapelle SPRL, as well as all other members of the Management Committee. They would not stay below the 25% threshold ;
  • The Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Board of Directors reviewed the situation and are of the opinion that, considering the cyclical nature of the business, it would remain in the best interest of the company to allow a deviation.

Taking the above into consideration and since the target variable remuneration bonus pay-out for the Managing Director and CEO, as well as the other members of the Management Committee, surpasses the 25% maximum threshold, the Board of Directors proposes to the General Shareholders' meeting to approve the said deviation from the principle of a spread over three years and hence allow the full payment of the variable remuneration within a shorter period.

Resolution No 7.6. : Approval of the deviation from the principle of a spread over three years and to allow, given the cyclical nature of the business, the full payment of the variable remuneration within a shorter period for the benefit of the Managing Director and CEO, Olivier Chapelle SPRL, as well as for the benefit of all other members of the Management Committee.

FOR: _____ AGAINST : _____ ABSTAIN : _____

New edition of the Stock Option Plan of the Recticel Group.

The Board of Directors intends to issue in 2020, within the framework of the authorised capital, a new edition of the Stock Option Plan of the Recticel Group. To this effect, it requests the authorisation of the General Meeting, not through any legal obligation but in accordance with the 2009 Code of Corporate Governance.

Resolution No 8.1 : The Meeting gives its authorisation to the Board of Directors so that, if appropriate, it can issue a new edition of the Stock Option Plan of the Recticel Group in favour of the senior managers of the Recticel Group.

FOR: _____ AGAINST : _____ ABSTAIN : _____
