A travel allowance of 1,500 euros per Board meeting attended was paid to directors travelling from the United States.

Directors are not eligible for any long-term compensation, supplemental pension plan or compensation or benefits that may result from any change in their duties, new duties, or a removal from office.

As stated above, the Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer does not receive any directors’ compensation.

The two directors representing employees both hold an employment contract with the Group and therefore receive compensation that has no connection with their office as director. The amounts of their salaries are not disclosed for confidentiality reasons.

The compensation paid to the directors during Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 (both fixed and variable), calculated based on their attendance at Board and Committee meetings as indicated above, was as follows:
