Criterion 2 Not to be an executive corporate officer of a company in which the Company holds a directorship, directly or indirectly, or in which an employee appointed as such or an executive corporate officer of the Company (currently in office or having held such office within the last five years) holds a directorship. Criterion 3 Not to be a customer, supplier, commercial banker, investment banker or consultant: ● that is significant to the Company or its group; or ● for which the Company or its group represents a significant portion of its activities. Criterion 4 Not to be related by close family ties to a corporate officer. Criterion 5 Not to have been a Statutory Auditor of the Company within the previous five years. Criterion 6 Not to have been a director of the Company for more than twelve years. Loss of the status as independent director occurs on the date that this twelve-year limit is reached. Criterion 7 A non-executive corporate officer cannot be considered independent if he or she receives variable compensation in cash or in the form of shares or any compensation linked to the performance of the Company or the group. Criterion 8 (1) Directors representing major shareholders of the Company, or its parent company may be considered independent, provided these shareholders do not take part in the control of the Company. Nevertheless, beyond a 10% threshold in capital or voting rights, the Board, upon a report from the Compensation and Nominating Committee, must systematically review the qualification of a Director as independent in light of the Company’s capital structure and the existence of a potential conflict of interest. (1) For the purposes of this analysis, and considering the structure of the Company’s shareholding, directors representing, or appointed on the proposal of the French State are not deemed to meet this criterion.
