Paris, 9 March 2023 – The Combined Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Compagnie des Alpes, chaired by Gisèle Rossat-Mignod, was held at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday 9 March 2023 at the Grévin Paris museum, 10 boulevard Montmartre, 75009 Paris. The webcast will be available on the Company's website: https://www.compagniedesalpes.com/en/shareholders-meetings
On this occasion, 159 shareholders attended and, together with those represented or having voted by post, the quorum for the Meeting was 73%.
Compagnie des Alpes asked its shareholders to vote on the adoption of a Corporate Mission as a foreword to the Group's Articles of Association.
This was motivated by the need to reaffirm a common vision among all employees, shared with external stakeholders.
Resulting from an extensive consultation of all Group employees and discussions with stakeholders on their vision of Compagnie des Alpes and its future, the aim of the Corporate Mission is twofold: (1) provide a "world view" shared by all and (2) a "compass", both serving to guide the choices and projects to come. The Corporate Mission reaffirms the fundamental meaning of Compagnie des Alpes' action. It sets out the Group's target horizon and provides a means of cementing its actions in the long term. It will subsequently give rise to the formulation of tangible commitments and associated indicators.
Compagnie des Alpes' Corporate Mission, approved at the Shareholders' Meeting, reads as follows:
At Compagnie des Alpes, we have been creating unforgettable leisure moments throughout Europe for millions of people for over 30 years. We innovate to surprise our customers and achieve Very High Satisfaction. We strive to offer a variety of experiences with a high level of operational excellence.
We firmly believe that creating connections is the key to positive change in our society. The leisure model we advocate is based on the following principles:
At Compagnie des Alpes, we are passionately committed to offering exceptional moments of leisure that foster connections and well-being and to creating living spaces that combine regional vitality and ecological transformation.
This is our Corporate Mission.

Dominique Thillaud, Chief Executive Officer, said: "After two years of crisis that have strengthened our commitment and reinforced our strategy, and while the world is more volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous than ever, the time had come to collectively redefine the meaning of our missions and our actions. Our Raison d'être reflects the synthesis of the contributions of our Territories, our Employees, our Clients and our Stakeholders. Thus, the heart of Compagnie des Alpes' Raison d'être is based on strong convictions that underpin its social utility and 4 fundamental commitments, concrete drivers of its "reason for action"".
The other resolutions on the agenda were also approved by wide majorities, with the exception of the 28th resolution (delegation of authority for the purpose of deciding on a capital increase through an issue reserved for employees who are members of the CDA Group Savings Plan), which was rejected on the proposal of the Board of Directors. The voting results are available on the Company's website, in the Shareholders' Meeting section.
The dividend was approved at an all-time high of €0.83 per share. The ex-dividend date is set at 14 March and payment will take place on 16 March 2023. Based on the share price on 30 September 2022, this represents a yield of 6.7%.
During discussions with the shareholders present at the Meeting, Dominique Thillaud highlighted in particular the strong momentum of Group business during the first quarter of 2022/2023 and the very satisfactory level of activity in the ski areas during the winter holidays.
Following the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors also met and duly noted:
It also adopted new Internal Regulations (formerly known as the "Corporate Governance Charter") and appointed Stéphanie Fougou, an independent director, as "Lead Director" (replacing the position of Vice-Chairman), in line with best governance practices.
