Messrs Séverin Cabannes, Jean-François Sammarcelli and Bernardo Sanchez Incera, at the suggestion of Mr Oudéa, were re-appointed as Deputy Chief Executive Officers for the same duration.

The by-laws do not specifically limit the powers of the Chief Executive and the Deputy Chief Executive Officers. The powers of the Vice Chairman are defined in the internal rules of the Board of Directors. Messrs Oudéa, Cabannes, Sammarcelli, Sanchez Incera and Wyand will exercise their functions in accordance with the law and regulations, the internal rules of the Board of Directors and the Director's Charter.

The way in which Messrs Oudéa, Cabannes, Sammarcelli and Sanchez Incera are compensated, as defined by the Board of Directors on 7 March 2011, was renewed. Mr Wyand will only receive attendance fees as per the internal rules of the Board of Directors, which remain unchanged.

The "retirement commitments" for Messrs Cabannes, Sammarcelli and Sanchez Incera were not changed. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer does not benefit from severance pay. He shall be subject to a non-compete clause, the duration of which, at the suggestion of the Compensation Committee, was set at 18 months by the Board of Directors.

Please note:

Shareholders outside France must find out about any local restrictions and comply with them. Shareholders are responsible for finding out any terms and consequences relating to the exercise of this option which may apply under local law.
