(1) Mr. Jean-Pierre Clamadieu holds 96,922 shares of the funds FCPE “Actions Rhodia” and “PELT Actions Rhodia” pursuant to an employee share scheme,
which correspond to a similar number of shares in Rhodia.
We do not report the individual shareholdings of General Management Committee members. To the best of our knowledge,
the individual amount held by any member of this group is less than 1% of our share capital, including any shares held indirectly.
Employees may participate in profit-sharing plans based on performance criteria for their business and a mutualization on a Group
level. We believe participation increases individual incentives and cohesion of our shareholders.
As of December 31, 2005, our employees held 15,049,102 shares through employee plans corresponding to 1.28% of our shares
and voting rights.
Our rules of governance prohibit Directors and Executive Officers from selling their shares for a period of 60 days following the
