COMPAGNIE DE SAINT-GOBAIN'S BOARD OF DIRECTOR APPOINTS JEAN-DOMINIQUE SENARD AS LEAD INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR AS FROM THE NEXT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND APPOINTS COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN

At its meeting on November 24, 2016, Compagnie de Saint-Gobain's Board of Directors decided to create the position of Lead Independent Director (Administrateur Référent), which will be taken on by Jean-Dominique Senard, independent Director since 2012.

The Lead Independent Director will, in particular, oversee the efficient running of the Company's governance bodies. His responsibilities will be described in the Board of Directors' internal regulations and in the Annual Report.

Jean-Martin Folz, who has chaired the Strategy and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee since 2013, will not seek renewal of his term of office at the next Annual General Meeting to be held on June 8, 2017, due to his potential reach of the age limit provided by the Company's by-laws in the event his term of office would be renewed.

Therefore, the Board of Directors also decided to appoint:

• as Chairman of the Strategy and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee: Jean-Dominic Senard, who currently chairs the Audit and Risk Committee;
• as Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee: Philippe Varin, independent Director since 2013, who currently chairs the Nomination, Remuneration and Governance Committee;
• as Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee: Anne-Marie Idrac, independent Director since 2011, who is currently a member of this Committee.

These appointments will take effect at the close of the Annual General Meeting to be held on June 8, 2017, subject to its approval of the renewal of the terms of office proposed on its agenda.
