Company officers’ remuneration and interests

Remuneration policy for company officers

Remuneration policy for Board members

Overall structure of the remuneration package

The Company’s directors receive remuneration for their service as members of the Board and its committees and for their involvement inthe work carried out by these bodies. The maximum aggregate amount of remuneration paid to Board members was set at €1,600,000by resolution of the shareholders at the Shareholders’ General Meeting of 17 April 2019. This limit applies to the remuneration paid todirectors for one calendar year, regardless of the date of payment. It does not include remuneration paid to executive company officersserving on the Board, who receive remuneration only as provided by the policy mentioned in paragraph 4.1.2 below, nor that paid todirectors representing employees as part of their employment. Remuneration received by directors is paid twice each year in arrears aftersix months of completed service.

The guidelines for the allocation of remuneration paid to directors, as adopted by the Board on 8 February 2023 following proposals from the Remuneration Committee, are as follows:

• At the outset, Board members receive annual fixed remuneration consisting of:
   - basic remuneration equal to €26,500 for each Director;
   - with additional remuneration of:
      - €55,000 for the Lead Director,
      - €20,000 for Board committee chairmen,
      - €10,000 for Audit Committee members,
      - €5,500 for Remuneration Committee members,
      - €5,500 for Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee members,
      - €4,000 for permanent members of the Strategy and CSR Committee.

 - Directors also receive annual variable remuneration equal to:
   - €3,500 for each Board meeting during the year at which they are physically present. If more than one Board meeting is held on the same day, this fee is paid only once, with the exception of the two meetings held before and after the Shareholders’ General Meeting, when directors receive two payments, their amounts depending on the manner of participation in these meetings.
   - €1,500 for each meeting of a Board committee during the year at which they are physically present. If a committee holds more than one meeting on the same day, this fee is paid only once.
The €1,500 amount is paid to any director participating on a voluntary basis in person at a meeting of the Strategy and CSR Committee.
   - Any director taking part in a meeting of the Board or any of its committees remotely via videoconferencing or audio conferencing is entitled to receive variable remuneration determined as follows:
      - The fee per meeting is equal to 100% of the amount to which the director would have been entitled for being physically present at the meeting, up to a maximum of two meetings of the Board and two meetings of the Strategy and CSR Committee.
      - The fee per meeting is halved for meetings of the Board and of the Strategy and CSR Committee in excess of the two-meeting limit mentioned above and for all meetings of the other committees.
   - Provided they are physically present at meetings of the Board or of any of its committees, additional amounts are paid to directors as follows:
      - €1,000 per meeting for directors who reside elsewhere in Europe,
      - €6,000 per meeting for directors who reside outside Europe.
   If the Board or any of its committees holds more than one meeting on the same day, this additional amount is paid only once.

Directors are entitled to the reimbursement of expenses they have incurred in the exercise of their duties and, in particular, any travel and accommodation costs connected with attending meetings of the Board and its committees.

Items of remuneration subject to shareholder approval in accordance with Article L.22-10-8 II of the FrenchCommercial Code

At the Shareholders’ General Meeting of 9 April 2024, in accordance with the provisions of Article L.22-10-8 II of the French Commercial Code, shareholders will be asked to vote on the remuneration policy for Board members, as presented above.

Remuneration policy for executive company officers, and specifically for Xavier Huillard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Overall structure of the remuneration package

For VINCI SA’s executive company officers, the Board has approved a remuneration policy including a short-term fixed component, a shortterm variable component and a long-term variable component. Currently, Xavier Huillard is VINCI’s only executive company officer. All three components of this remuneration policy are discussed below.

Short-term fixed component

The short-term fixed component of an executive company officer’s remuneration is set at an amount determined by the Board at the timeof the officer’s appointment or the renewal of his or her term of office.

At the Board meeting of 3 February 2022, the short-term fixed component of Mr Huillard’s remuneration was set at €1,300,000 per year for the duration of his term of office as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, with effect from the date of the 2022 Shareholders’ General Meeting, which was held on 12 April 2022. It is paid in 12 monthly instalments.

Short-term variable component

The criteria for determining the short-term variable component aim to take account of the Group’s all-round performance. To this end, they include three distinct elements that relate respectively to economic and financial, managerial, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, which together contribute to VINCI’s all-round performance. The rationale for choosing indicators is given below. The amount of the short-term variable component is equal to the sum of the bonuses thus determined, after applying these criteria. These criteria and their implementation were approved by the Board upon recommendations based on work carried out jointly by the Remuneration Committee and the Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee, in light of the Group’s highly satisfactory economic performance and given the Board’s constant focus on adapting the criteria used to developments in the Group’s businesses and its strategy.


ALL-ROUND PERFORMANCE
Type of performance
indicator
IndicatorRelevance of indicators and how they are used
Economic and financial
performance indicators
Earnings per share

These three indicators reflect the quality of the Group’s economic and financial management from different complementary angles.

A bonus is associated with each performance indicator, the amount of which depends on the percentage change recorded in the corresponding indicator. The bonus amount has a lower limit of €0 (for a negative change of 10% or more) and an upper limit of one-third of the amount corresponding to the upper limit for the overall bonus tied to the economic and financial performance indicators (for a positive change of 10% or more), in accordance with a remuneration schedule set by the Board.

In the event that a performance improvement in excess of 10% is noted for one or more indicators, an outperformance bonus limited to 20% for each indicator will be awarded, with the understanding that the total of the three bonuses may not be greater than €1,248,000. That amount represents 60% of the upper limit for the short-term variable component.

Recurring operating income
Operating cash flow (adjusted for investments made in the renewable energy sector)
Managerial performance indicatorsInternational diversificationThis indicator aims to maintain a focus on balancing the Group’s geographic exposure.
Management and dialogue with stakeholdersThis indicator reflects the Board’s assessment of the extent to which priorities have been met, depending on the issues it feels merit particular attention.
ESG performance indicatorsWorkforce safety and engagementThe Board considers the following indicators as falling within this category:
• the effectiveness of workplace accident prevention policies, which is assessed in particular by tracking the accident frequency rate;
• the results of the policy to bring more women into leadership positions as measured by the change in the percentage of women serving on management and executive bodies across the Group;
• the development of employee share ownership programmes outside France, given the proportion of staff in other countries who are eligible to enrol in the Group savings plan.
EnvironmentWith regard to environmental issues, the Board has selected the following indicators:
• reductions in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions
• managerial efforts across the Group to reduce the intensity of Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions
Corporate governanceThis indicator tracks the quality of the work carried out with the Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board on the succession plan for the executive company officer and the related governance measures.

 

Given the level of operating cash flow achieved by the Group at the end of 2023, the Board decided that economic and financial performance indicators for 2024 will be evaluated in relation to the annual average of each indicator as noted at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2023. In addition, the Board decided that these three indicators will be adjusted for the impact of the new levy on long-distance transport infrastructure operators introduced by France’s Finance Law for 2024 (Law 2023-1322 of 29 December 2023).

With respect to managerial performance, the Board will review in particular the balance of the Group’s geographic exposure and the assistance provided by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in support of the managerial transition.

With respect to ESG performance, the CDP indicator has been replaced to provide a better fit with the Group’s environmental ambition and the corporate governance indicator has been maintained so as to continue tracking the work relating to the succession plan for the executive company officer and the related governance matters.

The Board and its committees ensure that all-round performance is evaluated by taking into account progress against targets for each ofthe selected performance indicators.

At the start of a given year, the Board sets goals, applying a weighting coefficient to those considered as priorities. The Board reserves the option to modify the indicators in use, whether in relation to their type or how they are applied, when such a move is, in its view, justified by the circumstances, provided that the reasons for these changes are outlined at the Shareholders’ General Meeting in which shareholders are asked to vote on the remuneration policy for the individual concerned. The Board reaches its decisions in conjunction with its examination of the financial statements for the prior year, after reviewing the recommendations of the Remuneration Committee and after having given Board members the opportunity to pursue discussions without any executive company officers being present.

Long-term variable component

The remuneration of executive company officers includes a long-term portion intended to align the interests of the beneficiaries with those of shareholders, taking a multi-year perspective.

To this end, the Board carries out an analysis each year to determine the appropriate structure of the award for this component. It may be comprised of physical or synthetic VINCI shares and may be granted either under a plan set up in accordance with ordinary law or underany other plan permitted by law. Since 2014, all awards to VINCI SA’s executive company officers have been granted in accordance with ordinary law and satisfied using existing VINCI shares (and therefore not in accordance with Article L.225-197-1 of the French CommercialCode due to regulatory constraints).

The fair value measurement for these awards (under IFRS 2) is capped, at the time they are decided by the Board, at 100% of the total of fixed remuneration plus the upper limit of short-term variable remuneration. Vesting of these awards is subject to:
• Performance conditions evaluated over a period of three years. This performance evaluation may lead to a decrease in the number ofshares delivered or eliminate the award entirely.
• Continued service within the Group, as mentioned in the table on the next page. However, the Board reserves the right to maintaineligibility in other cases, depending on its assessment of the circumstances.

The performance conditions applying to plans to be put in place beginning in 2024 are presented in paragraph 5.1, “Policy on the granting of awards”, page 166.

The Board may amend these performance conditions either in the event of a strategic decision that changes the scope of the Group’sbusiness activities or under exceptional circumstances.

Condition of continued service applicable to Xavier Huillard

As Mr Huillard has not entered into an employment contract with the Group, the condition of continued service is evaluated with regardto the appointments he holds at VINCI SA, namely as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Director, the terms of office of which arelimited by law and the Articles of Association.
The condition of continued service applicable to Mr Huillard with respect to share awards that have not vested at the time of evaluationis defined as follows:

Condition of continued service applicable to Xavier Huillard
Event occurring before the vesting dateImpact on awards not yet vested under each plan
Resignation from his positions as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Director before his term of office endsComplete forfeiture of non-vested awards
Termination as Chief Executive Officer due to resignation connected with a succession plan, age limit or retirementPartial eligibility maintained, on a pro rata basis, over the period from the grant date of the award to the date of termination
Death or disabilityEligibility maintained, application of specific plan provisions in case of death or disability
Dismissal as Chief Executive Officer by decision of the BoardPartial eligibility maintained, on a pro rata basis, over the period from the grant date of the award to the date of termination

 

Pension and insurance plans

The remuneration policy for executive company officers includes eligibility for the pension and insurance plans set up by VINCI for itsemployees.

A supplementary defined benefit pension plan (known in France as an “Article 39” plan) was set up in 2010 by the Company for seniorexecutives of VINCI SA and its subsidiary VINCI Management, which is described in paragraph 4.2.3, “Supplementary pension plan set up for senior executives”, page 164. This plan was closed to new members in 2019 pursuant to Order 2019-697 of 3 July 2019, but itsbeneficiaries are not required to forfeit any benefits obtained at the closing date.

Mr Huillard is a beneficiary of this pension plan, as resolutions to this effect were passed at the Shareholders’ General Meetings of 6 May 2010, 15 April 2014 and 17 April 2018. Since 2019, he has been covered by the upper limit on benefits under this plan, which is eight times the annual French social security ceiling; he cannot receive any additional benefits.

Under this plan, at the settlement of his benefits provided by the general social security plan, Mr Huillard will receive a supplementary pension, the amount of which is capped at eight times the annual French social security ceiling (i.e. €351,936 at 31 December 2023).

Given that the Board has officially confirmed his senior executive status, Mr Huillard is also eligible to participate in the defined contribution pension plans and insurance plans set up by VINCI for its employees.

It should be noted that the benefits under these plans were taken into account in determining his overall remuneration.

The Board reserves the right, as necessary, to put in place a substitute plan in the event that a new executive company officer takes up his or her position without being eligible for coverage under the aforementioned plans.

Benefits in kind

The executive company officer has the use of a company car.

Overview of the remuneration policy

On the basis of the above structure, this remuneration policy has the following features:

Overview of the remuneration policy
It is balanced.It achieves a balance between:
• short- and long-term components, which ensures it is aligned with shareholder interests;
• economic and financial performance and the implementation of sustainable development policies.
It is capped.Each of its elements has an upper limit:
• the fixed component is stable for the entire term of office,
• the short-term variable component is capped,
• the long-term variable component is capped (fair value under IFRS 2) when it is initially granted.
It is subject, for the most part, to demanding performance conditions.Future performance is assessed in relation to past performance.
It is in the interests of the Company.Its amount is moderate, given the VINCI Group’s size and complexity. The performance conditions selected by the Board encourage Executive Management to consider not only short-term, but also long-term, and even very long-term, objectives.
It helps ensure the continuity of the Company and is in keeping with its business strategy.The VINCI Group has a business model based on a complementary set of activities conducted over both short and long time frames. These businesses can only prosper over the long term if they are geographically diversified and respect stakeholders and the environment where they are pursued. The remuneration system aptly reflects these imperatives.

 

Items of remuneration subject to shareholder approval in accordance with Article L.22-10-8 II of the French Commercial Code

At the Shareholders’ General Meeting of 9 April 2024, in accordance with Article L.22-10-8 II of the French Commercial Code, shareholders will be asked to vote on the remuneration policy for executive company officers, and in particular that applicable to Xavier Huillard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as presented above.

Comparative information

External benchmarking exercise

At the request of the Remuneration Committee, a benchmarking exercise relating to the components of the Chairman and Chief ExecutiveOfficer’s remuneration package is conducted by an independent firm and updated on a regular basis. The aim of this exercise is to ensurethat the remuneration of the Group’s top executive remains coherent and in line with market practice. The most recent update was basedon the latest publicly available information relating to the 2022 financial year.

For the purposes of this exercise, the Remuneration Committee selected two representative peer groups, the first comprised of Frenchindustrial companies that are members of the CAC 40 (the “French peer group”), and the second comprised of European companies withoperations in the construction sector or infrastructure concessions (the “International peer group”).

These two peer groups are as follows:

Benchmark externe
French peer groupAir Liquide, Alstom, Bouygues, Danone, Engie, EssilorLuxottica, Legrand, L’Or.al, Michelin, Pernod Ricard, Renault, Safran, Saint-Gobain, Schneider Electric, Stellantis, TotalEnergies, Veolia
International peer groupA.roports de Paris, Bouygues, Eiffage, Fraport, Hochtief, Strabag, ACS, Ferrovial, Skanska, Mundys (formerly Atlantia), Webuild, Atlas Arteria

 

The charts below situate VINCI in relation to the median and the third quartile of each of these peer groups and show that VINCI is positioned above the peer groups in terms of revenue, number of employees and market capitalisation.

According to the results of the benchmarking exercise for 2022, the total remuneration received by VINCI’s Chairman and Chief ExecutiveOfficer can be characterised mainly as follows:
   • The fixed component is near the median and third quartile of both peer groups.
   • The short-term component (fixed and variable) is near the median of the French peer group but above the median of the International peer group.
   • The total remuneration (fixed + variable + long-term) is above the median of both panels but near the third quartile of the French peer group.

Internal comparison

In accordance with the sixth paragraph of Article L.22-10-9 I of the French Commercial Code, it is noted that the ratio between the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s total annual remuneration (fixed, variable and long-term components) and
  • the average full-time equivalent remuneration(*) for 2023 of VINCI SA’s employees, not including company officers, employed from 1 January to 31 December (Ratio A) is equal to 46.5;
  • the median full-time equivalent remuneration(*) for 2023 of VINCI SA’s employees, not including company officers, employed from 1 January to 31 December (Ratio B) is equal to 82.6;
  • the average full-time equivalent remuneration (*) for 2023 of the employees based in France of French companies over which VINCI has exclusive control within the meaning of Article L.233-16 II of the Commercial Code, not including VINCI SA’s executive company officers, employed from 1 January to 31 December (Ratio C) is equal to 133.4.

Part based on managerial and ESG performance
At its meeting of 7 February 2024, the Board approved the recommendations of the Remuneration Committee and the Appointments andCorporate Governance Committee, which had examined managerial and ESG performance in detail.

The Board took into account the following elements:

Part based on managerial and ESG performance
Indicator or indicator categoryPerformance relative
to prior year
Factors taken into account
Managerial performance100%This indicator aimed to reflect the level of geographic diversification of the Group’s business activities.
The Board took note of the Group’s strong revenue growth outside France as well as the increase in the relative contribution of the Group’s international activities (57%), in line with the targets set at the start of the year.
In addition, the Board observed that the high quality of the Chief Executive Officer’s dialogue with all stakeholders had been maintained.
Environment58%For this category, the Board had selected as indicators the maintenance of the A score received by VINCI from CDP and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, as well as any other indicator that could be used to measure the Group’s contribution to preserving natural environments and promoting the circular economy.
The Board noted that the CDP score declined from A to A− in 2023, due to the introduction of more stringent requirements and the fact that actual progress against emissions reduction targets fell short of planned progress, despite the efforts brought to bear by the Group.
Workforce safety and engagement98.2%For this category the Board had selected as indicators (i) the effectiveness of workplace accident prevention policies, assessed in particular by tracking the accident frequency rate; (ii) the results of the policy to bring more women into leadership roles as measured by the percentage of women serving on management and executive bodies; and (iii) the development of employee share ownership programmes outside France.
The Board commended the decline in the workplace accident frequency rate, although the target has not yet been met. In addition, the Board noted an improvement in female representation in leadership roles as well as an increase in the percentage of employees outside France who are eligible to enrol in the Group savings plan.
Corporate governance100%This indicator was used to track the quality of interactions with the Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee and with the Lead Director.
The Board is satisfied with the progress made in preparing the succession process and with the various milestones achieved during the year.

 

These achievements led the Board to set the performance-based remuneration for these criteria as follows:

Supplementary pension plan set up for senior executives

VINCI SA and its subsidiary VINCI Management have set up a defined benefit pension plan for their senior executives, with the aim ofguaranteeing them a supplementary annual pension. This plan, now closed to new members due to new regulatory provisions, has thefollowing main features:

Supplementary pension plan set up for senior executives
Type of disclosure required by Decree 2016-182 of 23 February 2016Information
Name of the obligationDefined benefit pension plan set up on 1 January 2010 and closed to new members from 4 July 2019
Applicable legal provisionsArticle 39 of the French Tax Code
Eligibility requirements for beneficiariesAt least 10 years’ service within the Group
BeneficiariesEmployees of VINCI or VINCI Management having the status of senior executive (“cadre dirigeant”) as defined by Article L.3111-2 of the French Labour Code
Conditions for receiving pension payments- Career within the Group has ended
- At least 10 years’ service within the Group
- No further payments are due under the mandatory and supplementary pension plans
- Aged 67 or older, with the option to receive early benefits, at a reduced level, from the age of 62
Method for determining the remuneration reference amountMonthly average of the gross fixed and variable remuneration received over the last 36 months of activity multiplied by 12
Vesting formulaThe beneficiary’s gross pension is determined using the following formula:
Gross pension = 20% R1 + 25% R2 + 30% R3 + 35% R4 + 40% R5, where:
R1 = remuneration reference amount between 0 and 8 times the annual French social security ceiling;
R2 = remuneration reference amount between 8 and 12 times this ceiling;
R3 = remuneration reference amount between 12 and 16 times this ceiling;
R4 = remuneration reference amount between 16 and 20 times this ceiling;
R5 = remuneration reference amount greater than 20 times this ceiling (all ranges in the formula are inclusive).
The remuneration reference amount taken into account for the calculation of the pension will be equal to the gross average monthly remuneration (fixed component + bonuses), including paid leave, received by the beneficiary over the last 36 months multiplied by 12.
The limit for this gross pension is 8 times the annual French social security ceiling.
Pension payment limitThe pension payment limit is 8 times the annual French social security ceiling.
Funding of benefitsThe Group uses an insurance contract to externalise its pension plan, to which VINCI and VINCI Management make contributions.
