NOTE Equity affiliates, other investments and related parties

8.1 Equity affiliates: investments and loans

Accounting principles

Under the equity method, the investment in the associate or joint venture is initially recognized at acquisition cost and subsequently adjusted to recognize the Group’s share of the net income and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its equity-accounted entities are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the equity accounted entity.

In equity affiliates, goodwill is included in investment book value.

In cases where the group holds less than 20% of the voting rights in another entity, the determination of whether the Group exercises significant influence is also based on other facts and circumstances: representation on the board of directors or an equivalent governing body of the entity, participation in policy-making processes, including participation in decisions relating to dividends or other distributions, significant transactions between the investor and the entity, exchange of management personnel, or provision of essential technical information.

The contribution of equity affiliates in the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of income and consolidated statement of comprehensive income is presented below:

8.2 Other investments

Accounting principles

Other investments are equity instruments and are measured according to IFRS 9 at fair value through profit and loss (default option). On initial recognition, the standard allows to make a choice and record the changes of fair value in other comprehensive income. For these securities, only dividends can be recognized in profit or loss.

The Group recognizes changes in fair value in equity or in profit or loss according to the option chosen on an instrument by instrument basis.

For quoted shares on active markets, this fair value is equal to the market price.

8.4 Compensation for the administration and management bodies

The aggregate amount of direct and indirect compensation accounted by the French and foreign affiliates of the Company, for all executive officers of TOTAL as of December 31 and for the members of the Board of Directors who are employees of the Group, is detailed below.

During the fiscal year 2020, the Company, taking into account the definition used by the US regulations applicable to Executive Officers and in the interest of harmonization, has chosen to reduce the list of its Executive Officers to the members of the Executive Committee in order to align this list with the list of “Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities" (PDMR) within the meaning of Article 19.5 of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 on Market Abuse ("Regulation"). For the purposes of this Regulation, PDMRs are defined as the persons referred to in Article L. 621-18-2 (a) of the French Monetary and Financial Code (the "Directors") and the persons referred to in Article L. 621-18-2 (b) of the same code that TOTAL SE has defined as the members of the TOTAL Executive Committee ("COMEX").

As of December 31, 2020, the Group executive officers are the members of the Executive Committee, i.e. eight people.

As of December 31, 2019, the Group executive officers included the members of the Executive Committee and the four directors of the corporate functions members of the Group Performance Management Committee (Communication, Legal, Health, Safety and Environment, Investor relations), and the Group Treasurer, i.e. thirteen people.

There are three employees members of the Board of Directors on December 31, 2020. They were two on December 31, 2019. The increase in the number of employees members results from the appointment of a second director representing employees on the Board of Directors in accordance with the French “Pacte law” of May 22, 2019.
