• The Annual General Meeting of June 5, 2008 also approved the Board’s decision to allow Pierre-André de Chalendar, following his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, to continue to be covered by the pension plan available to him before he became a corporate officer. In line with this decision and with the 1972 management pension plan rules, his term as Chief Executive Officer will be added to his pensionable years of service, which will be calculated from October 1, 1989, corresponding to the date when he joined the Group. His pension will be based on his fixed compensation for his final year of service. In 2008, Pierre-André Chalendar continued to have access to up to 25 hours of support a year under a Group contract with an executive career management and support services company. The Annual General Meeting of June 5, 2008 also approved the commitment given by the Board to pay compensation for loss of office to Pierre-André Chalendar in the event that his appointment is not renewed or he is removed from office other than as a result of serious professional misconduct. • Jean-Louis Beffa and Pierre-André de Chalendar each have the use of a chauffeur-driven company car. • They do not receive any Directors’ attendance fees from any Saint-Gobain Group company. Application of AFEP-MEDEF recommendations of October 6, 2008 concerning corporate officers who continue to have an employment contract and termination benefits awarded to corporate officers will be examined when the Chief Executive Officer’s term comes up for renewal in 2010, as provided for in the recommendations. 1.
