Item 4. Description of Securities

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers, as well as employees and other individuals, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Section 6.01 of the Company’s amended and restated bylaws provides for indemnification by the Company of its directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.


Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchases, redemptions or other distributions, or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Company’s restated certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.

The Company maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty, misstatement, error or omission committed in their capacity as directors or officers of the Company. Such policies of insurance also provide coverage to the Company with respect to payments which may be made by the Company to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a)    The Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)    To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.

(iii)    To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

(2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)    The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of its annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and , where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


(c)    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York, State of New York, on July 30, 2018.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am Deputy General Counsel, Corporate Secretary & Chief Compliance Officer of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and in such capacity I am rendering the opinions expressed below in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the registration of 263,188, 1,962,907 and 1,539,215 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Shares”), of the Company relating to the Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. Irish Savings Related Share Option Scheme, the Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. Save as You Earn Plan (U.K.) and the Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. Stock Purchase Plan for French Employees, respectively (collectively, the “Plans”).

In connection with rendering such opinions, I or an attorney acting under my general supervision (all references herein to acts taken by me include acts by an attorney acting under my general supervision) have reviewed the Registration Statement, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, the Plans and resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the Plans and have examined originals or certified, conformed or reproduction copies of such documents, corporate and other records of the Company and certificates of governmental officials and officers of the Company, and have made such investigations of law, as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of such opinions. In all such examinations, I have assumed without investigation the legal capacity of all natural persons executing documents, the genuineness of all signatures on original or certified copies, the authenticity of all original or certified copies and the conformity to original or certified documents of all copies submitted to me as conformed or reproduction copies. I have relied as to factual matters upon, and have assumed the accuracy of, the statements made in certificates of officers of the Company delivered to me, and certificates and other statements or information of or from public officials and officers and representatives of the Company and others.

Based solely upon the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and exceptions set forth herein, I am of the opinion that the Shares to be issued under the Plan have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

I am a member of the Bar of the State of New York. The opinions expressed above are limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law as currently in effect.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not hereby admit that I come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

 

Sincerely,

/s/ Katherine J. Brennan

2. Invitations to Apply for Options

 

2.1 The Board may invite every Eligible Employee to apply for the grant of an Option to acquire shares in MMC and to enter into a Savings Contract in accordance with the Scheme Rules. The Board may issue the invitations to apply for Options as soon as practicable after the Scheme has been adopted by the Company and after approval for the Scheme has been received from the Revenue Commissioners.

 

2.2 Each invitation shall specify:

 

  i. the date, not being less than 14 days after the issue of the invitation, by which the application may be made, and

 

  ii. the Option Price at which the Shares may be acquired on the exercise of any Option granted in response to the application, and

 

  iii the maximum permitted aggregate monthly savings contribution being a multiple of €1 and not less than €12, (when taken together with any monthly contributions made under any other similar savings contract), will not exceed the Maximum Contribution.

 

2.3 Each invitation shall be accompanied by a proposal form for a Savings Contract, and an application form, which will provide for the applicant to state:

 

  i. the monthly savings contribution (being a multiple of €1 and not less than €12) which he wishes to make under the related Savings Contract, and

 

  ii. that his proposed monthly savings contribution, when added to any monthly savings contributions then being made under any other Savings Contract linked to an Option granted under the Scheme or any other savings related share option scheme approved by the Revenue Commissioners, will not exceed the Maximum Contribution, and

 

  iii. whether, for the purposes of determining the number of Shares over which an Option is to be granted, the repayment under the Savings Contract is to be taken as including any bonus payable,

and to authorise the Board to enter on the Savings Contract proposal form such monthly savings contribution, not exceeding the maximum stated on the application form, as shall be determined subject to rule 3 below.

 

2.4 Each application shall be deemed to be for an Option over the largest whole number of Shares which can be bought at the Option Price with the expected repayment under the related Savings Contract at the appropriate Bonus Date.


3. Scaling Down

 

3.1 If the Board receives valid applications for Options over an aggregate number of Shares which exceeds the limit determined pursuant to Rule 5 below in respect of that invitation, then the following steps shall be carried out successively to the extent necessary to eliminate the excess:

 

  (i) by treating an application for a 5 year Savings Contract as an application for a 3 year Savings Contract;

 

  (ii) by treating each election for a bonus as an election for no bonus;

 

  (iii) by reducing the proposed monthly contributions pro rata to the excess over such amount as the Board shall determine for this purpose not being less than the minimum monthly contribution permitted under the Savings Contract; or

 

  (iv) elimination or reduction shall be carried out on such basis as the Board, with the prior approval of the Revenue Commissioners, determine to be fair and reasonable.

 

3.2 If the number of Shares available is insufficient to enable an Option based on monthly contributions of the minimum amount permitted under the Savings Contract to be granted to each Eligible Employee making a valid application, the Board may, determine in its absolute discretion that no Options shall be granted.

 

3.3 If the Board so determines, the provisions in Rule 3.1 may be modified or applied in any manner as may be agreed in advance with the Irish Revenue Commissioners.

 

3.4 Each application shall be deemed to have been modified or withdrawn in accordance with the application of the foregoing provisions and the Board shall complete each Savings Contract proposal form to reflect any reduction in the monthly savings contribution resulting therefrom.

4. Grant of Options

 

4.1 No later than the thirtieth day or if Rule 3 applies the forty second day following the day on which the invitations were issued pursuant to Rule 2, the Board shall grant to each applicant who is still an Eligible Employee and is not precluded from participation in the Scheme by virtue of paragraph 8 of Schedule 12A to the Act, an Option over the number of Shares for which, pursuant to Rule 2.4 and subject to Rule 3, he is deemed to have applied.

6.4 If an Option holder continues to be employed by a Participating Company after the date on which he reaches Specified Age he may exercise any Subsisting Option within six months following that date.


7. Take-overs and Liquidations

 

7.1 If any person obtains Control of the Company as a result of making:

 

  i. a general offer to acquire the whole of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company which is made on condition such that if it is satisfied the person making the offer will have Control of the Company, or

 

  ii. a general offer to acquire all the shares in the Company which are of the same class as the Shares

then any Subsisting Option may be exercised within six months of the time when the person making the offer has obtained Control of the Company and any condition subject to which the offer is made has been satisfied.

 

7.2 If under section 201 of the Companies Act, 1963, the Court sanctions a compromise or arrangement proposed for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies, any Subsisting Option may be exercised within six months of the Court sanctioning the compromise or arrangement.

7.4 If as a result of the events specified in Rules 7.1 or 7.2 a company has obtained Control of the Company, or if a company has become bound or entitled as mentioned in Rule 7.3, the Option holder may, by agreement with the other company (the “Acquiring Company”), within the Appropriate Period, release each Subsisting Option (the “Old Option”) for an Option (the “New Option”) which satisfies the conditions that it:

 

  i. is over shares in the Acquiring Company or some other company falling within paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) of Paragraph 11, Schedule 12A to the Act, which satisfy the conditions specified in Paragraphs 11 to 15 inclusive, Schedule 12A to the Act, and

 

  ii. is a right to acquire such number of such shares as has on acquisition of the New Option an aggregate Market Value equal to the aggregate Market Value of the Shares subject to the Old Option on its release, and

 

  iii. has a Option Price per share such that the aggregate price payable on the complete exercise equals the aggregate price which would have been payable on complete exercise of the Old Option, and

 

  iv. is otherwise identical in terms to the Old Option.

This New Option shall, for all other purposes of the Scheme, be treated as having been acquired at the same time as the Old Option.

Where any New Options are granted pursuant to this Rule 7.4, Rules 7, 8, 9, 10.1 and 10.3 to 10.6 shall, in relation to the New Options, be construed as if referring to the Acquiring Company or, as the case may be, to the other company to whose shares the New Options relate, and to the shares in that other company, but references to Participating Company shall continue to be construed as if references to the Company were references to MMC.


7.5 If the Company passes a resolution for voluntary winding up, any Subsisting Option may be exercised within six months of the passing of the resolution.

 

7.6 For the purposes of this Rule 7 other than Rule 7.4 a person shall be deemed to have obtained Control of the Company if he and others acting in concert with him have together obtained Control of it.

8. Variation of Share Capital

 

8.1 In the event of any variation in the share capital of the Company by way of capitalisation or rights issue or any consolidation, sub-division or reduction or otherwise, the number of Shares subject to any Option and the Option Price for each of those shares shall be adjusted in such manner as the Board confirms to be fair and reasonable provided that:

 

  i. the aggregate amount payable on the exercise of an Option in full is neither materially changed nor increased beyond the expected repayment under the Savings Contract at the appropriate Bonus Date, and

 

  ii. the Option Price for a Share is not reduced below its nominal value, and

 

  iii. no adjustment shall be made without the prior written approval of the Revenue Commissioners, and

 

  iv. following the adjustment the Shares continue to satisfy the conditions specified in Paragraphs 11 to 15 inclusive, Schedule 12A to the Act.

9. Manner of Exercise of Options

 

9.1 No Option shall be exercised by an individual at any time when he is, or by the personal representatives of an individual who at the date of his death was, precluded by Paragraph 8, of Schedule 12A to the Act from participating in the Scheme

 

9.2 No Option shall be exercised at any time when the shares, which may thereby be acquired, are not Shares as defined in Rule 1.1.


9.3 An Option shall only be exercised over the number of Shares, which may be purchased with the sum obtained by way of repayment under the related Savings Contract.

 

9.4 An Option shall be exercised by the Option holder, or as the case may be, his personal representatives, giving notice to the Company in writing of the number of Shares in respect of which he wishes to exercise the Option accompanied by the appropriate payment (which shall not exceed the sum obtained by way of repayment under the related Savings Contract) and the relevant option certificate, and shall be effective on the date of its receipt by the Company.

 

9.5 Shares shall be transferred, allotted or issued pursuant to a notice of exercise within thirty days of the date of exercise. Save for any rights determined by reference to a date, preceding the date of transfer or allotment, such Shares shall rank pari passu with the other Shares of the same class in issue at that date of transfer or allotment.

 

9.6 When an Option is exercised only in part, it shall lapse to the extent of the unexercised balance.

 

9.7 For the purposes of Rules 9.3 and 9.4 above, any repayment under the related Savings Contract shall exclude the repayment of any contribution, the due date for payment of which falls more than one month after the date on which the payment is due.

10. Administration and Amendment

 

10.1 The Scheme shall be administered by the Board whose decision on all disputes shall be final.

 

10.2 The Board may from time to time amend these Rules provided that:

 

  i. no amendment shall materially affect an option holder as regards an Option granted prior to the amendment being made, and

 

  ii. no amendment shall be made which would make the terms on which Options may be granted materially more generous or would increase the limit specified in Rule 5.1 without the prior approval of the Company in general meeting, and

 

  iii. no amendment shall be made without the prior written approval of the Revenue Commissioners.

 

10.3 The costs of establishing and operating the Scheme shall be borne by the Participating Companies in such proportions as the Board shall determine.

 

10.4 Any notice or other communication under or in connection with the Scheme may be given in such manner as the Participating Company consider to be appropriate which may include by personal delivery, by email, IVR, internet (electronic communication) or by post, items sent by post shall be pre-paid and shall be deemed to have been received seventy two hours after posting, in the case of a company to its registered office or to such other address notified for this purpose to the person giving the notice. Employees have given their consent to receiving information by electronic means.


10.5 MMC Shares which are to be delivered under the Scheme may be obtained through MMC from MMC’s treasury, by purchases on the open market or from private sources, or by issuing authorised but unissued Shares. Authorised but unissued Shares may not be delivered under the Scheme if the purchase price thereof is less than the par value of the Shares.

 

10.6 MMC shall at all times keep available sufficient authorised and unissued and/or treasury Shares to satisfy the exercise to the full extent still possible of all options which have neither lapsed nor been fully exercised, taking account of any other obligations of MMC to issue Shares.

 

10.7 The Board may at any time terminate the Scheme as it may deem advisable. On termination of the Scheme no other Options will be granted but in all other respects the provisions of the Scheme will remain in force.

11. General

 

11.1 All eligible employees shall be eligible to participate in the Scheme on similar terms.

(c) If the aggregate number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Committee receives valid applications for Options exceeds the limits determined pursuant to Rules 5(a) and/or 5(b) above in respect of that invitation, then the following steps shall be carried out successively to the extent necessary to eliminate the excess:-

Each application shall be deemed to have been modified or withdrawn in accordance with the application of the foregoing provisions and the Committee shall complete each SAYE Contract proposal form to reflect any reduction in monthly savings contributions resulting therefrom.

6. ELIGIBILITY

All Employees of each Participating Company will be invited to participate in the Plan, in accordance with such rules as may be prescribed from time to time; provided, however, that such rules shall neither permit nor deny participation in the Plan contrary to the requirements of Schedule 3.

 

7. OFFERINGS, PARTICIPATION

 

(a) Offerings will be made under the Plan. The Committee shall invite every Employee eligible to participate in the Plan under the provisions of Rule 6 above to apply for the grant of an Option or Options to acquire shares of Stock in MMC and to enter into a SAYE Contract in accordance with the rules of the Plan. The Employee may at the discretion of the Committee be invited to apply for one or more Options linked to one or more SAYE Contracts subject always to the limits contained in Rules 5(a) and 5(b) and Rule 7(c).

 

(b) Such invitation will specify whether or not the shares of Stock subject to the Option are subject to any restriction (as defined in paragraph 48(3) of Schedule 3).

 

5


(c) Employees will be given a minimum period of fourteen days to respond to the invitation. The invitations may be made at any time.

 

(d) Each Employee who applies for an Option under the Plan must take out an SAYE Contract. Under the terms of each SAYE Contract, a fixed monthly sum will be paid by monthly payroll deduction of an amount not less than £5 and not more than the maximum permitted under paragraph 25 of Schedule 3. At the relevant Maturity Date, the total of the monthly contributions are repayable to the Option Holder on application, together with a bonus equal to a fixed number of monthly contributions. The Option Holder may then apply the proceeds of the SAYE Contract (being the total of contributions, together with the bonus) to exercise his Option to acquire shares of Stock in accordance with the conditions in Rules 5 and 11 hereof. Alternatively, the Option Holder may take the proceeds in cash.

However, the Option to purchase shares of Stock lapses unless it is exercised with the proceeds obtained on termination of the SAYE Contract within six months of the Maturity Date or in accordance with Rule 8 or Rule 10(b) or 10(c) hereof.

 

(e) An Employee may participate in as many SAYE Contracts as offerings are made under the Plan; however, the maximum total contributions payable per month under any such contract (including other Schedule 3 plans) is the maximum permitted under paragraph 25 of Schedule 3.

 

8. TAKE-OVERS AND LIQUIDATIONS

 

(a) If any person obtains Control of MMC as a result of making:-

 

  i. a general offer to acquire the whole of the issued stock of MMC which is made on a condition such that if it is satisfied the person making the offer will have Control of MMC; or

 

  ii. a general offer to acquire all the stock in MMC which are of the same class as the Stock;

then any Option which has neither lapsed nor been exercised (a “Subsisting Option”) may, subject to Rule 8(e) below, be exercised within six months of the time when the person making the offer has obtained Control of MMC and any condition subject to which the offer is made has been satisfied. Any Option (other than Options exchanged under Rule 8(b) below) shall upon the expiry of the six month period cease and lapse.

 

(b) If, as a result of the events specified in Rule 8(a) a company has obtained Control of MMC, the Option Holder may, by agreement with that other company (the “Acquiring Company”), within the Appropriate Period, release each Subsisting Option (the “Old Option”) for an option (the “New Option”) which satisfies the conditions that it:-

 

  i. is over shares of stock in the Acquiring Company or some other company falling within paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) of paragraph 18 of Schedule 3, which satisfy the conditions specified in paragraph 39 to Schedule 3;

 

6


  ii. is a right to acquire such number of such shares of stock as has on acquisition of the New Option an aggregate market value equal to the aggregate market value of the shares of Stock subject to the Old Option on its release (market value is to be determined according to a methodology agreed by HMRC);

 

  iii. has a subscription price per share that the aggregate price payable on the complete exercise of the New Option equals the aggregate price which would have been payable on complete exercise of the Old Option; and

 

  iv. is otherwise identical in terms to the Old Option.

The New Option shall, for all other purposes of this Plan, be treated as having been acquired at the same time as the Old Option and where any New Options are granted pursuant to this Rule 8(b), the rules of the Plan, except for the making of amendments under Rule 15 shall, in relation to the New Options, be construed as if reference to MMC and to Stock were references to the Acquiring Company or, as the case may be, to the other company to whose shares of stock the New Options relate, and to the shares of stock in that other company, but references to Participating Company shall continue to be construed as if references to MMC were references to Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc.

 

(c) If MMC passes a resolution for voluntary winding up, any Subsisting Option may be exercised within six months of the passing of the resolution. Any Option (other than Options exchanged under Rule 8(b) above) shall upon the expiry of the six month period cease and lapse.

 

(d) If there is a non-UK company reorganisation arrangement (as defined in paragraph 47A(1) of Schedule 3) which falls within paragraph 37(4A) of Schedule 3, Options may, subject to Rule 8(e) below, be exercised within the six month period after the date on which the arrangement becomes binding. Any unexercised Option shall upon the expiry of the six month period cease and lapse.

 

(e) Where rule 8(a) or 8(d) apply and, as a result, Stock would no longer meet the requirements of paragraphs 18 to 22 of Schedule 3, Options may be exercised under those rules within a 20 day period before (and conditionally on) the relevant event taking place. Options may alternatively be exercised under those rules during a 20 day period after the relevant event and any Options not so exercised will lapse at the end of that period.

 

(f) For the purposes of this Rule 8 (other than Rule 8(b)), a person shall be deemed to have obtained Control of MMC if he and others acting in concert with him have together obtained Control of it.

 

7


(g) The exercise of an Option pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Rule 8 shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan.

 

(h) Where in accordance with Rule 8(b) Subsisting Options are released and New Options granted the New Options shall not be exercisable in accordance with Rule 8(a) above by virtue of the event by reason of which the New Options were granted.

 

9. DEDUCTIONS

The Participating Companies will operate monthly payroll deductions for all participating Employees and pay all sums to the savings carrier under the SAYE Contracts.

 

10. WITHDRAWALS

 

(a) An Employee may not vary his monthly contributions but may terminate a SAYE Contract at any time. Interest will be paid at the tax-free compound rate specified by HM Treasury on contributions if a SAYE Contract is terminated between one year and expiry of the SAYE Contract term. Termination of a SAYE Contract, other than at the Maturity Date, will render the Employee ineligible to participate in the acquisition of shares of Stock under that contract, except as provided in Rule 8(a) or 8(c) above or Rule 10(b) or 10(c) below.

 

(b) In the event of an Option Holder’s termination of employment by reason:

 

  i. of injury, disability or redundancy (within the meaning of the Employment Rights Act 1996 or the Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order 1996); or

 

  ii. of retirement; or

 

  iii. in the case of Options granted before 17 July 2013, retirement on reaching the Specified Age; or

 

  iv. a relevant transfer within the meaning of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006, or

 

  v. that his office or employment in an associated company (as defined in paragraph 35(4) of Schedule 3) of the Company ceases to be an associated company by reason of a change of control (as determined in accordance with sections 450 and 451 of Corporation Tax Act 2010);

then no further amounts shall be deducted pursuant to the Plan and the Option Holder may exercise his Options within six months of termination. Any such Option shall upon the expiry of the six month period cease and lapse. In the event of death, the Option Holder’s legal personal representative may exercise the Options within twelve months of death, or within twelve months of the Maturity Date of the SAYE Contract where death occurs on or within six months after the Maturity Date. Any such Option shall upon the expiry of the twelve month period cease and lapse.

 

8


(c) Where an Option Holder continues to be employed by a Participating Company after the date on which he reaches the Specified Age, he may exercise any Subsisting Options granted before 17 July 2013 within six months following that date (but not later than six months after the Maturity Date).

 

(d) In the event that Options are exercised under the provisions of Rules 8(a), 8(c), 10(b) or 10(c) above before the Maturity Date, any repayment made under the SAYE Contract shall exclude the repayment of any contributions the due date for payment of which falls more than one month after the date on which the repayment is made.

 

(e) If an Option Holder ceases to hold the office or employment for any reason other than those given in Rule 10(b) above, no further amounts shall be deducted pursuant to the Plan and any Options granted to purchase Stock under the Plan will lapse. No person shall be treated for the purposes of this Rule 10 as ceasing to be employed until he is no longer employed by any company in the MMC Group.

 

(f) If an Option Holder, while continuing to hold an office or employment within the MMC Group is to be transferred to work in a company which is not a Participating Company, then he may continue to participate in the Plan until the Maturity Date of the SAYE Contract but no further Options may be granted to such individuals.

 

11. PURCHASE LIMITATIONS

 

(a) Each Employee in any offering under the Plan who applies for an Option and enters into a SAYE Contract will be granted an Option, upon the effective date of such offering, over the largest whole number of shares of Stock as the amount of the proceeds from the SAYE Contract (being the total monthly contributions, plus the bonus) can purchase, subject to the provisions in Rule 5(c) above. The Committee shall arrange for all Employees who are granted an Option to be notified of the number of shares of Stock comprised in an Option as soon as practicable after the Date of Grant.

 

(b) As of the Maturity Date, the proceeds from the SAYE Contract may be applied in order to exercise the Option to purchase the largest number of shares of Stock at the Option Price determined under Rule 11(c) below. The record-keeper for MMC will make an entry on its books and records evidencing that such Stock (including any partial Stock) has been duly issued as of that date; provided however, that any Option Holder may in the alternative elect in writing prior hereto to receive a stock certificate representing the amount of such full Stock acquired (the value of any partial Stock to be returned to such Option Holder by cheque).

PREAMBLE

A list of the companies which have acceded to the Plan on the date of its signature is annexed to these Regulations and shall be updated on a regular basis in order to reflect the arrival of any new company as a member of the MMC Group or its exit from the Group.

Any new company which becomes a member of the MMC Group after the signature of these Regulations shall automatically accede to this Plan, subject to the signature of a rider (governed by the same rules of signature and registration as the Regulations themselves) recording the intention of such new company to accede hereto.

As this GSP constitutes a collective and optional savings scheme, any company having acceded hereto may at any time revoke its membership of this Plan.

Any withdrawal from this GSP for any reason whatsoever by a company which is a member hereof must constitute the subject-matter of a withdrawal notice served on the Direction régionale des entreprises, de la concurrence, de la consommation, du travail et de l’emploi (DIRECCTE) (Regional Directorate for Businesses, Competition, Consumer Affairs, Labour and Jobs) and on the other companies who are members of this GSP.

The withdrawal of a member company from the GSP shall take effect six months after the date on which the notice of withdrawal is served.

It has been decided to set up a Group Savings Plan, which shall be referred to hereinafter as the “Group Savings Plan” or the “Plan”, in accordance with the provisions of Title III entitled “Employee Savings Plans” of Book III of Part Three of the French Labour Code.

Clause 1 – Purpose

The purpose of this Group Savings Plan is to enable the employees of the MMC Group to participate, with the assistance of their enterprise, in the creation of a mutually owned portfolio of securities and to benefit in doing so from the tax and social security advantages offered by this form of collective savings scheme.

Clause 2 – Beneficiaries

All the employees of the companies belonging to the MMC Group may become members of this GSP, provided that they have at least three months of service within the Group on the date of the [first] payment made by them.

The length of service requirement shall take into account all the employment contracts performed by the relevant employee over the course of the year in respect of which payments are made and the twelve months preceding such year.

In enterprises where the number of habitual employees is at least one and at most two hundred and fifty, the managers of such enterprises or, in the case of companies, their chairmen, chief executives, directors or the members of their executive board, as well as the spouse of the manager of the enterprise should such spouse have the status of a collaborating spouse or spouse-partner, may also become members of the GSP, provided that they satisfy the length of service condition set out in the first paragraph.

Former employees having left the Group as a result of taking retirement or early retirement may continue to make payments into the GSP, subject however to the conditions that they have made at least one payment into the GSP prior to the end of the employment contract between them and the Enterprise and that they have not requested the release of the entirety of their holdings.

 

[Initials of the signatories]


Employees having left the Group for a reason other than retirement or early retirement may no longer make any further payments into the GSP, but where any payment pursuant to the employee incentive scheme and/or the employee profit-sharing scheme in respect of the last year of employment of the employee is made after the departure of the employee from the enterprise, he or she may allocate such payment pursuant to the employee incentive scheme and/or the employee profit-sharing scheme to the GSP.

Clause 3 – Payments into the GSP

Payments shall be made into the savings scheme in the form of:

 

  voluntary payments by the beneficiaries on an occasional or scheduled basis

The total annual amount of the payments made by an employee into an employee savings scheme may not exceed one quarter of his or her gross annual remuneration.

The total annual amount of the payments made by a manager of an enterprise or, in the case of a company, a chairman, chief executive or director or a member of the executive board, may not exceed one quarter of the remuneration which is received in respect of the duties performed within the enterprise and on which income tax is payable in the category of emoluments and salaries or by way of professional income on which income tax is payable for the previous year.

The total annual amount of the payments made by a retired employee or an employee having taken early retirement may not exceed one quarter of the pension payable pursuant to his or her retirement or early retirement.

The total annual amount of the payments made by a spouse of the manager of an enterprise defined in Clause 2 and an employee whose employment contract is suspended and who has not received any remuneration in respect of the previous year may not exceed one quarter of the annual social security cap.

Voluntary payments by the beneficiaries may be made at any time, but any request to modify payments must be received no later than the fifteenth day of the month in order to be taken into account for the following month.

Each voluntary payment by employees must be made by way of the despatch of a payment form and/or via the dedicated webpage of the employee savings scheme (AMUNDI Tenue de Compte).

Each voluntary payment made by a beneficiary must stipulate the desired allocation of such payment.

Each voluntary payment made by a member must be in the minimum amount of €10 per investment vehicle.

And/or:

 

  supplementary payments made by the Enterprise (referred to as matching payments)

As defined in Clause 4 of this agreement.

And/or:

 

  incentive payments made to employees in accordance with the provisions of the incentive scheme agreement

Prior to each payment made pursuant to the incentive scheme agreement, the Enterprise shall send to beneficiaries a form specifying the amount of the incentive payment owed to them. Employees may allocate all or part of such amount to the GSP, and in such a case they must return such form to the Enterprise or the custodian specifying the amount to be allocated to the GSP and the Corporate Mutual Investment Fund(s) selected.

 

[Initials of the signatories]


Sums payable pursuant to the incentive scheme agreement which are allocated to the GSP shall be exempt from income tax subject to the restrictions laid down by Articles L 3315-2 and L 3315-3 of the French Labour Code, if they are paid into the GSP within 15 days of the date on which they are received.

Pursuant to the provisions of the profit-sharing agreement in force within the Enterprise or at the individual request of the beneficiary, entitlements pursuant to the profit-sharing agreement of which the beneficiary does not request immediate payment shall be allocated to the GSP in accordance with the provisions of the profit-sharing agreement.

And/or:

 

  payments of all or part of the sums corresponding to the entitlements of employees to profits of the enterprise in accordance with the provisions of the profit-sharing agreement

Pursuant to the provisions of the profit-sharing agreement in force within the Enterprise or at the individual request of the beneficiary, entitlements pursuant to the profit-sharing agreement of which the beneficiary does not request immediate payment shall be allocated to the GSP in accordance with the provisions of the profit-sharing agreement.

No payment may be made into the GSP prior to the filing of these Regulations with the relevant Direction régionale des entreprises, de la concurrence, de la consommation, du travail et de l’emploi (DIRECCTE) (Regional Directorate for Businesses, Competition, Consumer Affairs, Labour and Jobs).

Clause 4 – Assistance from the Enterprise

Each company having acceded hereto shall assume the costs of the assistance to be provided in connection with the savings of its own employees.

The Enterprise shall assume the costs of maintaining the register and the costs associated with the custodianship of the accounts of each of the members of the GSP. In accordance with Article R 3332-17 of the French Labour Code, in the event of the departure of a member from the Enterprise, the costs associated with the custodianship of the account of such employee shall no longer be assumed by the Enterprise but shall be borne by the relevant beneficiary by way of a deduction from his or her holdings.

The assumption of the costs of maintaining the register and the costs associated with the custodianship of the accounts shall be supplemented by:

 

    The payment of any subscription fees associated with payments into the Corporate Mutual Investment Funds designated in Clause 6.1.

 

    Any supplementary payments made by the Enterprise (referred to as matching payments).

The Enterprise shall add to the payments made by beneficiaries supplementary payments in accordance with the provisions and subject to the caps of Articles L 3332-11, 12 and 13 and Article R 3332-8 of the French Labour Code.

The Enterprise shall make a supplementary payment in respect of sums corresponding to:

 

  voluntary payments made by the beneficiaries into the CMIF MMC.

The matching payment shall be equal to 5.26% of the payments made by the beneficiaries, subject to an annual cap corresponding to €2,300 and triple their payments.

No matching payment shall be made on behalf of beneficiaries of the GSP who have left the enterprise.

 

[Initials of the signatories]


Where any payment pursuant to the employee incentive scheme and/or the employee profit-sharing scheme in respect of the last year of employment of the employee is made after the departure of the employee from the Enterprise, he or she may allocate such payment pursuant to the employee incentive scheme and/or the employee profit-sharing scheme to the GSP.

No supplementary payment shall be made by the Enterprise in respect of such allocation.

The matching payment must be paid into the GSP concomitantly with the payments made by beneficiaries or at the latest at the end of each financial year and in any event prior to the departure of the beneficiary from the Enterprise.

Supplementary payments made by the Enterprise shall be subject to the contribution sociale généralisée (CSG) (general social solidarity levy) and the contribution au remboursement de la dette sociale (CRDS) (contribution to the repayment of social debt).

The employer shall pay the special contribution (namely the “forfait social (fixed social solidarity levy)) owed on the matching payment.

The matching payment may not be substituted for any component of remuneration within the meaning of Article L 242-1 of the French Social Security Code applicable within the Enterprise at the time of the entry into force of the GSP or which may become mandatory pursuant to any applicable statutory or contractual provisions.

Any change to the percentage of the matching payment shall give rise to the execution of a rider and must be brought to the knowledge of the beneficiaries in advance.

The custodian of the accounts/registrar must be notified.

Clause 5 – Transfers

In accordance with the provisions of Article L 3335-2 of the French Labour Code, this Plan may be credited, pursuant to the request of an individual employee, with a transfer of sums previously held in the context of the profit-sharing agreement applicable to a former employee, as well as with the transfer (with or without a termination of the relevant employment contract) of any sums previously held in the context of any enterprise savings plan/inter-enterprise savings plan/group savings plan.

Such sums shall not be taken into account when calculating the annual cap on payments and shall not give rise to any matching payment.

Portions of holding periods which have already expired may be allocated to the term stipulated by GSP.

Each beneficiary may request (with or without a termination of his or her employment contract) the transfer of the sums held under this Plan to any enterprise savings plan/inter-enterprise savings plan/group savings plan with an equivalent investment horizon.

Key information for investors

This document provides information which is essential for the investors in this CMIF. It is not a promotional document. The information contained herein is provided to you pursuant to a statutory obligation, in order to help you understand what investing in this CMIF entails and the risks associated with such an investment. You are advised to read this document in order to decide on a fully informed basis whether or not to invest in this CMIF.

AMUNDI 3 MOIS – ESR – A

AMF Code: (C) 990000110759

This corporate mutual investment fund (CMIF) is managed by Amundi Asset Management, a société anonyme (company limited by shares) belonging to the Amundi FCPE – Fonds d’Epargne Salariale Group governed by French law

Investment objectives and investment policy

Classification by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers: “Money market”.

By subscribing for units issued by AMUNDI 3 MOIS ESR – A, you are investing in money market instruments and in UCITS and/or money market retail investment funds (RIF).

In certain market scenarios, such as for example one where EONIA is very low, the net asset value of the CMIF may fall structurally and negatively impact the yield of the CMIF, which could compromise the objective of preserving the capital of the CMIF.

The management objective of the CMIF, over a minimum investment horizon of three months, is to achieve a performance superior to the performance of its reference index, namely capitalised EONIA, which index represents the money market rate within the Eurozone, after taking operating costs into account.

In order to achieve this objective, the management team selects high-quality money market instruments denominated in Euros or other currencies, whilst also taking into account their residual term until maturity. Such securities are selected from within pre-determined investment opportunities on the basis of an internal risk-assessment and risk-monitoring process. In order to assess the quality of the creditworthiness offered by such instruments, the management company may refer at the time of their acquisition and on a non-exclusive basis to the “investment grade” credit ratings issued by reputed rating agencies which it deems to be most relevant; the management company however ensures that it does not depend automatically on such ratings over the entire period during which it holds the securities.

Securities denominated in a currency other than the Euro are hedged against exchange rate risk.

The management team selects securities and/or UCITS and/or RIF classified as money market or short-term money market funds. UCITS and/or RIF may represent up to 100% of the assets of the CMIF, and up to 50% of the assets of the CMIF may be represented by one UCITS or RIF.

The CMIF may enter into transactions involving temporary acquisitions and sales of securities. Forward financial instruments may be used for hedging or exposure purposes.

Any income and net gains generated are reinvested on a mandatory basis.

You may request the redemption of your units on any given day, with redemptions being executed on a daily basis, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the regulations of the CMIF.

Recommended term of investment: 3 months.

Such term does not take into account the holding period applicable to your savings.

The level of risk to which the CMIF is exposed reflects mainly Euro money market risk, in which market the CMIF invests.

The historical data used to calculate the numerical risk indicator may not constitute a reliable indicator of the future risk profile of the CMIF.

The risk category assigned to this CMIF is not guaranteed and may change over time.

The lowest risk category does not mean “risk-free”.

The return of the initially invested capital cannot be guaranteed.

The material risks relevant to the CMIF which have not been taken into account are the following:

 

    Credit risk: this corresponds to the risk of a sudden degradation in the credit standards of an issuer or the risk of its default.

 

    Counterparty risk: this corresponds to the risk of the default of a market player preventing such market player from honouring its obligations with regard to your portfolio.

 

    The use of complex products such as derivatives may result in an increased volume of movements of securities into and out of your portfolio.

The crystallisation of one of these risks may have a negative impact on the net asset value of the portfolio.

AMUNDI PROTECT 90 ESR

AMF Code: (C) 990000099829

This corporate mutual investment fund (CMIF) is managed by Amundi Asset Management, a société anonyme (company limited by shares) belonging to the Amundi FCPE – Fonds d’Epargne Salariale Group governed by French law

Investment objectives and investment policy

Classification by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers: “Diversified”

By subscribing for units issued by AMUNDI PROTECT 90 ESR, you gain access to multiple classes of asset whilst benefiting from protection for your capital through flexible management of the “portfolio insurance” type. This type of management tends to focus on two classes of asset: on the one hand assets referred to as “risky assets”, which are used as a motor for growth and are exposed through UCITS and/or RIF to share and bond market risk and on the other hand assets referred to as “non-risky assets”, of which the objective is to protect capital by investing in money market products and/or debt instruments (including UCITS and/or RIF).

The management objective of the CMIF is to maintain the capital invested at 90% of the highest net asset value recorded over the period from 14 November 2008 until 18 November 2021 inclusive (the “protection period”).

In order to achieve this objective, the management team adjusts on a continuous basis the allocation of assets between risky assets and non-risky assets, having regard in particular to market developments. In such context, a “monetarisation” risk may exist: depending on the market in question, the value of the risky component of the asset may be reduced to zero; the performance delivered by the fund would then be linked to the money market and/or debt instrument market and would be unable to benefit from any rebound in the value of its risky assets. Depending on the evolution of the values of its non-risky assets, such a situation could be temporary or subsist until the maturity of the Fund.

The CMIF may hold the debt securities of public-sector or private-sector issuers which enjoy on the date of their acquisition a minimum long-term credit rating of BBB- on the basis of the S&P rating scale or Baa3 on the basis of Moody’s rating scale or equivalent ratings in accordance with the analysis of the management company, and money market investments.

Forward financial instruments or temporary acquisitions and sales of securities may be used for hedging and/or exposure purposes.

Any income and net gains generated are reinvested on a mandatory basis.

You may request the redemption of your units on any given day, with redemptions being executed on a daily basis, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the regulations of the CMIF.

Recommended term of investment: 5 years.

Such term does not take into account the holding period applicable to your savings.

The level of risk to which the CMIF is exposed reflects the positions taken by management in the equity markets and in terms of rates within the scope of a pre-defined margin for manoeuvre.

The historical data used to calculate the numerical risk indicator may not constitute a reliable indicator of the future risk profile of the CMIF.

The risk category assigned to this CMIF is not guaranteed and may change over time.

The lowest risk category does not mean “risk-free”.

The CMIF offers protection for 90% of the capital invested.

The material risks relevant to the CMIF which have not been taken into account in the indicator are the following:

 

    Credit risk: this corresponds to the risk of a sudden degradation in the credit standards of an issuer or the risk of its default.

 

    Liquidity risk: in the specific case where the volume of trading on the financial markets is very low, any purchase or sale of financial instruments may give rise to significant market variations.

 

    Counterparty risk: this corresponds to the risk of the default of a market player preventing such market player from honouring its obligations with regard to your portfolio.

 

    The use of complex products such as derivatives may result in an increased volume of movements of securities into and out of your portfolio.

The crystallisation of one of these risks may have a negative impact on the net asset value of the portfolio.

This corporate mutual investment fund (CMIF) is managed by Amundi Asset Management, a société anonyme (company limited by shares) belonging to the Amundi FCPE – Fonds d’Epargne Salariale Group governed by French law

 

Investment objectives and investment policy

Classification by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers: “Diversified”

By subscribing for units issued by AMUNDI LABEL PRUDENCE ESR - F, you gain access to wide-ranging investment opportunities on the interest rate and equity markets, identified on the basis of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) criteria.

The management objective of the CMIF is to achieve a performance superior to that of the CMIF’s reference indicator (with reinvested dividends and coupons) after operating costs: 25% Euro Stoxx 50 and 75% EuroMTS Global.

In order to achieve this objective, the management team draws concomitantly on three key sources of added value: the active management of asset allocation, the selection of securities on a financial and non-financial basis and the implementation of strategies referred to as “diversifying” strategies. Between 70% and 90% of the fund is exposed to rate products in the form of bonds and debt securities issued by public-sector and/or private-sector issuers and between 10% and 30% of the fund is exposed to equity products. The preponderant geographical zone is the Eurozone.

Investments in rate products take the form of bonds and other debt securities which are denominated in Euros and issued by public-sector and/or private-sector issuers whose credit rating is between AAA and BBB- on the basis of the Standard & Poor’s rating scale. The total exposure of the CMIF to risky assets (equity markets and high-yield bonds) is limited to 30% of net assets.

Forward financial instruments or temporary acquisitions and sales of securities may be used for hedging or exposure purposes.

Any income and net gains generated are reinvested on a mandatory basis.

You may request the redemption of your units on any given day, with redemptions being executed on a daily basis, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the regulations of the CMIF.

Recommended term of investment: 3 years.

AVENIR CROISSANCE

A sub-fund of the Corporate Mutual Investment Fund (CMIF) AVENIR

AMF Code: 990000063719

I UNITS

A French AIF

Management Company: Natixis Asset Management (BPCE Group)

Investment objectives and investment policy

 

    The sub-fund is classified as: “Diversified”.

 

    The management objective of the sub-fund is to outperform the composite reference indicator 35% Stoxx Europe 600 + 24.5% Standard & Poor’s 500 + 10.5% MSCI AC Asia Pacific + 30% Euro MTS 3-5 years over a recommended investment period of at least five years. They are expressed in Euros and include net reinvested dividends.

 

    The investment policy of the sub-fund consists of determining asset allocations in three stages:

 

    a strategic allocation defined on the basis of general economic analyses;

 

    a tactical allocation seeking market opportunities;

 

    a selection of shares focussing on the best yield/risk, in accordance with the assessment of the manager.

 

    The sub-fund is exposed:

 

    at least 50% and at most 80% to equity and/or UCITS/AIF shares. The preponderant investment zones are Europe, the United States and Asia;

 

    as far as the balance is concerned, up to 50% to rate market products (fixed-rate, variable-rate, indexed and/or convertible bonds) mainly in the countries of the Eurozone, either directly or through UCITS/AIF. The bond component of the sub-fund shall be managed within a sensitivity spread of 0 to 10. The management company shall rely for its assessment of credit risk on its teams and its own methodology. In addition to this assessment, the bond component shall be invested in securities issued by States or like issuers and in securities issued by private-sector issuers with a credit rating of at least BBB- (source S&P, Fitch ratings or Moody’s) or an equivalent rating in the analysis of the Management Company and, on an ancillary basis (at most 10% of net assets), in securities with a lower rating or no rating. The sub-fund may be invested in international bonds, including bonds issued in emerging economies up to at most 10% of its net asset value. The sub-fund may be invested up to no more than 15% of its assets in equity or rate products issued in emerging economies.

 

    The sub-fund may have recourse to financial contracts (derivative instruments) in order to hedge or expose the investments of the portfolio with a view to achieving the management objective (without over-exposure).

 

    Any income generated by the sub-fund is capitalised.

 

    Investors may request the redemption of their units on any given day. Redemptions are executed on a daily basis in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the regulations of the CMIF.

Risk-return profile

 

With a lower risk, a potentially lower return     With a higher risk, a potentially higher return
1   2   3   4   5   6   7

The risk indicator reflects the margins for manoeuvre provided by diversified management which makes it possible to expose up to 80% of the portfolio to the equity markets.

 

    The historical data used to calculate the level of risk may not constitute a reliable indicator of the future risk profile of the sub-fund.

 

    The risk category assigned to the sub-fund is not guaranteed and may change over time.

 

    The lowest risk category does not mean “risk-free”.

Material risks not taken into account in the indicator:

 

    Credit risk: credit risk is the risk of a degradation in the credit standards of an issuer and/or an issue, which can result in a fall in the value of the relevant security. It may also result from a redemption default on maturity by an issuer present in the portfolio.

 

    Counterparty risk: counterparty risk corresponds to the risk that a counterparty with whom the sub-fund has entered into over-the-counter contracts is unable to meet its obligations to the sub-fund.
