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.
