Pay Capped at these French Companies?

By Paul Hodgson – CCO and Senior Research Associate

Last week I blogged on the plans of the new French Socialist administration to cap the pay of CEOs at 20 times that of the lowest paid worker at those companies in which the state owned a majority stake, as well as trying to impose the cap at other companies in which it was a significant shareowner. According to data from GMI Analyst, these are some of the companies whose CEOs could see a pay cut:

Aeroports de Paris (ADP)

French state: 52%

Areva

Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique (73.03%) + French State (10.17%) = 83.2%

Air France-KLM

French state: 15.8% (shares) 16.1% (voting rights)

EADS

Controlling shareholder group (to which the French state is a
party): 50.36%

French state’s share of total stock: 22.35%

EDF

French state: 84.5%

GDF Suez

French state: 36%

Renault

French state: 17.95%
