Stéphane Tortajada’s fixed compensation for fiscal year 2022 will be €450,000, with effect from the date of his appointment, payable on a pro rata basis for the period from June 22, 2022 to December 31, 2022.

Short-term variable compensation for 2022

Stéphane Tortajada’s short-term variable compensation for fiscal year 2022 will be decided based on his performance as Chief Financial Officer, as part of the compensation review process to be conducted in early 2023 for the period from June 22, 2022 to December 31, 2022.
His short-term variable compensation from this period onwards will be based on the same structure as that applicable to the other members of the Executive Board, i.e., including a quantitative and a qualitative component, as follows:

QUANTITATIVE COMPONENT

Weighting

Description

Capped at 100% of fixed annual compensation
(i.e., 66.7% of the maximum total short-term variable compensation)

Net current cash flow guidance as disclosed to the markets at the beginning of the year. Achieving the target net current cash flow per share announced by Klépierre as guidance to the market grants entitlement to 60% of the fixed annual compensation. In addition, a performance floor has been set at 95% of the target.

QUALITATIVE COMPONENT

Weighting

Description

Capped at 50% of fixed annual compensation
(i.e., 33.3% of the maximum total short-term variable compensation)

The qualitative portion of variable compensation is measured by applying several criteria and for 2022 is based around the following topics:

  • Management of financial transactions and improvement in the Group’s profitability;

  • Management of tax risks;

  • Management of the audit function; and

  • Investor relations.

The overall short-term variable compensation paid to Stéphane Tortajada will be capped at 150% of his fixed annual compensation.
In accordance with Article L. 22-10-34 II, paragraph 2 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce), the annual variable compensation due for fiscal year 2022 may only be paid after the Ordinary General Meeting of Klépierre SA’s shareholders to be called in 2023 to approve the 2022 financial statements, with payment contingent on its approval by that Meeting.

Long-term variable compensation for 2022

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the authorization granted by the General Meeting of Shareholders held on April 26, 2022, the rules of the plan to be implemented in 2022 for members of the Executive Board will include a three-year vesting period, followed by an assessment of whether the service condition and performance criteria have been fulfilled. The conditions used to determine the vesting of performance shares granted in 2022 are set out on pages 283 and 284 of Klépierre SA’s 2021 Universal Registration Document.
As for all members of the Executive Board, the annual allotments made to Stéphane Tortajada would not represent more than 100% of his short-term compensation.
Furthermore, in accordance with Article L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code as set out in the AFEP-MEDEF Code, Stéphane Tortajada would be required to hold in registered form a number of shares equivalent to 50% of the gain on vested shares net of tax and expenses as calculated on delivery of the shares until the end of his term of office.
In accordance with the AFEP-MEDEF Code, Stéphane Tortajada will undertake not to enter into hedging transactions until the end of the lock-up period imposed by the performance share plans.

Other components of compensation

Employment contract and severance package

Stéphane Tortajada will not hold an employment contract with Klépierre SA or any other entity belonging to the Klépierre Group.
In the event of forced departure from Klépierre, Stéphane Tortajada may be entitled to receive a severance payment in an initial amount of one year’s annual compensation, calculated by reference to the fixed compensation (gross) as of the last day of his term of office and the most recent (gross) short-term variable compensation paid as at the date of termination, it being specified that this initial amount will increase on a linear basis according to Stéphane Tortajada’s length of service as a corporate officer (on a basis of one month for each additional year of service with effect from January 1, 2023) and up to a maximum of two years’ compensation, in accordance with the AFEP-MEDEF Code.
Payment of this severance package is subject to fulfillment of the performance conditions set out on page 285 of Klépierre SA’s 2021 Universal Registration Document.

Extraordinary compensation

No extraordinary compensation will be paid to Stéphane Tortajada in respect of fiscal year 2022.

Other benefits

Stéphane Tortajada is entitled to:

  • The same benefits plan as other employees in France;

  • Unemployment insurance subscribed with GSC;

  • The material resources necessary for the performance of his term of office;

  • Upon presentation of supporting documents, the reimbursement of business travel and expenses incurred in the performance of his duties.
