On 31 October 2023, Thomas Devedjian, appointed during the aforementioned Shareholders' Meeting of 18 April 2023 on the Minority List presented by Suez International SAS, tendered her resignation from the office of Director.
On 10 November 2023, the Board of Directors of ACEA (with resolution approved by the Board of Statutory Auditors and following the opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee) appointed by co-optation, pursuant to art. 2386 of the civil code and art. 15 paragraph 3 of the Articles of Association, Francesca Menabuoni as the new non-executive Director of the Company, which will therefore expire at the next Shareholders' Meeting.
