Fixed remuneration 1,562,000 (paid)
The remuneration paid to Jean-Laurent Bonnafé is determined by the method recommended by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board of directors. The most recent increase in fixed remuneration is dated 25 February 2016 effective as of 1 January 2016 when the Board of directors revised the components of remuneration of the corporate officers to comply with the new EBA rules, the sum of the fixed remuneration and target annual variable remuneration remained unchanged.
Annual variable remuneration(1) 1,479,214 The variable remuneration of Jean-Laurent Bonnafé changes on the basis of criteria representative of Group results and his managerial performance. It is expressed as a percentage of a target variable remuneration corresponding to 100% of fixed remuneration for the year. The quantitative criteria apply to the Group s overall performance and are as follows:
■ ratio of net earnings per share for the year to net earnings per share for the previous year (37.5% of target variable remuneration);
■ achievement of the Group s budgeted gross operating income (37.5% of the target variable remuneration);
■ multi-criteria assessment of the actions taken by the Group with respect to social, societal and environmental issues (10% of target variable remuneration).
The qualitative criteria represent 15% of the target variable remuneration. After taking into account both quantitative, CSR and qualitative criteria, and the evolution of the Group s results, the Board of directors set the annual variable remuneration of Jean-Laurent Bonnafé for 2020 at EUR 1,479,214 i.e. 94.7% of the target annual variable remuneration;
■ half of the non-deferred portion of the variable remuneration will be paid in May 2021, and half in March 2022, indexed to the performance of the BNP Paribas share;
■ the deferred portion of the variable remuneration will be paid in fifths as of 2022. Each payment will be made half in March every year, and half in March of the following year, indexed to the performance of the BNP Paribas share. The last payment in respect of 2020 will be made in March 2027. The annual payment of the deferred variable remuneration is subject to the condition that the ROE before tax of the Group for the year preceding the payment is greater than 5%.
The ratio between the annual fixed remuneration and variable remuneration, as required under the French Commercial Code, was 94.7%.
Conditional long-term remuneration programme (fully deferred for a period of five years)

The two conditions of the LTIP, one recognising an increase in the intrinsic value of the BNP Paribas share and the other recognising the potential outperformance of its peers, are assigned equal weighting in order to measure their effects separately.
