Summary of related internal rules
The internal rules of the Board of Directors stipulate that all directors must inform the Board of any conflict of interest, including a future or potential situation, in which they find or may find themselves and in this case promptly contact the Lead Director to define and implement measures to prevent such conflict. These measures might consist in refraining from attending part or all of any Board or Board committee meeting during which a sensitive subject in this regard is to be discussed. Directors must abstain from voting on any matter involving a conflict of interest for them and from taking part in the related discussions. The Lead Director may intervene at any time in response to any real or potential conflicts of interest that may come to his or her attention and proceed with investigations in order to further identify, avoid or manage them.
In addition, the Board’s internal rules specify that no director of VINCI may hold a position at any of VINCI’s competitors and that all directors must keep the Board informed of any positions held in other companies, including board committee memberships at these companies, whether based in France or abroad.
