Appointments and Compensation Commitee
The Appointments and Compensation Committee is comprised of three independent members, Rose-Marie Van Lerberghe, Henri Giscard d’Estaing and Gérald de Roquemaurel; a person chosen for his experience and expertise, David de Rothschild.
Rose-Marie Van Lerberghe is the Committee Chairman.
The Committee’s primary role is to assist the Board of Directors a) in reviewing candidates for appointment to senior management positions and for election to the Board of Directors and, b) in setting and overseeing the Group’s executive compensation, stock option and stock grant policies.
A Charter sets out its powers and duties, particularly those concerning the periodic assessment of the Board of Directors’ practices and performance and the review of its compliance with good corporate governance principles and professional standards, especially as prescribed in the Board Charter.
The Committee met four times in 2007 with all members in attendance.
