PRESS RELEASE
April 30, 2015
The Edenred Annual Meeting was held in Paris on April 30, 2015 and was attended by more than 200 shareholders.
During the meeting, Jacques Stern, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, presented Edenred's main achievements in 2014 and reaffirmed the key strategic objectives that underpin the Group's development.
Several Executive Committee members gave detailed presentations on the Group's performance in 2014, in the areas of finance, strategy and corporate social responsibility. First, Loïc Jenouvrier, Executive Vice President, Finance and Legal Affairs, reviewed the Group's 2014 financial results. Antoine Dumurgier, Executive Vice President, Strategy and Development, then presented Edenred's strategy in the area of Expense Management solutions, the Group's second pillar of growth alongside Employee Benefits. Lastly, Jeanne Renard, Executive Vice President, Human Resources and Corporate Social Responsibility, presented the key role played by employees in implementing Edenred's strategy.
All of the resolutions submitted to shareholders were adopted, including the payment of a 2014 dividend of €0.84 per share, with the option of reinvesting 50% of the amount in new shares1 .
In addition, the Board of Directors appointed independent director Françoise Gri as Chairman of the Compensation and Appointments Committee. She takes over from Gabriele Galateri di Genola, Chairman of Assicurazioni Generali S.p.A., who remains a Committee member. As a result, the Compensation and Appointments Committee continues to have four members, including three independent directors.
The Annual Meeting also gave Jacques Stern the opportunity to announce the creation of the Edenred shareholders' E-Club, which is designed to strengthen ties between the company and its individual shareholders.
