Jean-Jacques Bertrand, Chairman & CEO of Guerbet

Villepinte, June 9, 2011

Following the death of Bernard Massiot, CEO of the Guerbet group, Jean-Jacques Bertrand agreed at a Board meeting held today (June 9) to take up the position of CEO in addition to his position of Chairman of the Board of Directors, during the period required to recruit a new CEO.

As the positions of Chairman of the Board and CEO are no longer dissociated, Jean-Jacques Bertrand consequently temporarily assumes the title of Chairman & CEO of Guerbet.

Jean-Jacques Bertrand worked closely with Bernard Massiot and he undertakes, with the board of directors and the management team, to ensure the continuity of the work undertaken and will make it his duty to respect the spirit of his work to enable Guerbet pursue its ambition of being a major player in medical imaging.

Bernard Massiot became a director of the company in 1993, then vice-chairman of the supervisory board, becoming its CEO in January 2010.
