Financial performance in Fiscal 2020 was deeply impacted by the sanitary crisis. The level of attainment of the objectives was 27.5%, hence, variable compensation would have been 247,500 euro. However, given
    the unprecedent sanitary crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Board of Directors decided to suppress his variable compensation for Fiscal 2020.
Although organic growth outperformed the applicable target in Fiscal 2019 compared to the initial objective and taking into account that the underlying operating profit margin underperformed, the Board of Directors, based on the proposal of the Chief Executive Officer, had decided to cap the variable compensation due in relation to the organic growth target at 100%, for both the Chief Executive Officer and the members of the Executive Committee.
