5.5.2.1 Compensation of Sophie Bellon, Chairwoman of the Board of Directors

The following tables show a breakdown of the various components of Sophie Bellon’s compensation during Fiscal 2020.

These components were determined in line with the compensation policy for the Chairwoman of the Board of Directors approved at the January 21, 2020 Combined Annual Shareholders Meeting (tenth resolution). This policy provides a fixed compensation, collective health and benefit plans as well as fringe benefits. It does not include any other variable or exceptional compensation, long-term compensation or directors’ compensation.

Given the unprecedented sanitary crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and its resulting social and economic impacts, the Board of Directors decided to reduce her fixed salary by 50% for the second half of Fiscal 2020. Sophie Bellon fully agreed with this decision, which gave her the opportunity to express her solidarity with the Group’s employees. The amounts not paid for the fixed compensation financed the creation of the Sodexo Employee Relief Program in April 2020 to help address some of the social and economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic.

At the Ordinary Annual Shareholders Meeting of January 12, 2021, shareholders will be given a “say-on-pay” vote on the total compensation and benefits paid during or awarded for Fiscal 2020 to Sophie Bellon for her role as Chairwoman of the Board of Directors.
