Compensation of the Board of Directors Compensation of Board members consists of Director fees, Committee fees and Restricted Share Units (RSUs). Fees are paid at the end of each year in office completed. RSUs give participants the right to receive Givaudan shares (or a cash equivalent in countries where securities laws prevent the offering of Givaudan securities) at the end of a three-year blocking period. During this period, Board members must hold RSUs (accordingly are restricted from trading RSUs or the underlying Givaudan shares), thereby aligning with shareholder interests over the longer term. Board members are entitled to receive Givaudan shares regardless of membership status so that, for example, if re-election does not occur during the restriction period, awarded RSUs are retained by the respective Board member. Such practice has been implemented in line with best practice in support of Givaudan’s commitment to ensuring Board independence. The compensation paid to the Board members for the period between the 2020 and 2021 Annual General Meetings, CHF 3,280,206, is again within the amount approved by shareholders at the 2020 Annual General Meeting CHF 3,400,000. Amounts approved at the 2021 Annual General Meeting CHF 3,250,000 will be paid by the end of the year in office and validated in the 2022 Compensation report. Such approved and paid amounts may differ from those shown in the Board compensation summary table which, according to the OaEC, must include compensation paid in the reporting year. XIV.
