- The renewal of the terms of office of Gilles Michel, Bruno Bézard and Bpifrance Participations, represented by Alexandre Ossola, as Directors, which will expire at the end of the 2026 Shareholders’ Meeting, for a period of four years. The Board of Directors decided that at the Board meeting to be held immediately after the Shareholders’ Meeting, it will reappoint Gilles Michel as Chairman of the Board, subject to his reappointment as Director. This decision is based on the fact that Gilles Michel’s skills and experience contribute to maintaining a solid, effective and high-performing governance system, whose operational quality has been praised by all of the Directors. In accordance with the provisions of the articles of association relating to the age limit, Gilles Michel will be able to perform his duties as Chairman of the Board until the 2027 Shareholders’ Meeting, which will review the financial statements for the 2026 financial year. In view of these factors, discussions are currently underway regarding the chairmanship of the Board beyond the 2027 Shareholders’ Meeting.
