The appointments of four out of the twelve directors sitting on the Board of Directors, as well as that of the non-voting director (censeur), will reach their term during the course of the next General Shareholders' Meeting.

 

In this context, further to a proposal from the Compensation and Nominations Committee, the Board of Directors pursues the guidelines adopted in 2011 with a view to the renewal of the appointments. All Directors agreed upon the necessity to maintain the Board with a reduced size, to have more female board members, to continue the efforts made to reduce the average age and to favor increased internationalization and diversification of skills, while at the same time maintaining a preponderance of independent directors (as assessed by the Compensation and Nominations Committee in accordance with the criteria set by the Internal Operating Rules of the Board of Directors on the basis of the recommendations set out in the AFEP-MEDEF Corporate Governance Code, i.e. 11 independent directors out of 13 in the new configuration being proposed.)

 

These principles have therefore governed the choice of candidate directors who have moreover been, with regard to the Company's activity, the subject of an assessment concerning their knowledge, skills and experience, of their merits and of their independence, all qualities that are necessary for the holding of this office.

 

In addition, further to a proposal from the Compensation and Nominations Committee, the Board of Directors has decided not to propose the renewal of the appointment of the non-voting director (censeur).

 

In this context, the Board is asking shareholders to make the following appointments and approve the following renewals of appointments:
