Michel Boulaire appointed Chairman of Management Board of the Laurent-Perrier Group

Etienne Auriau and Michel Fauconnet join Management Board

On Thursday 27 May 2010 the Laurent-Perrier Group Supervisory Board appointed Michel Boulaire as Chairman of the Management Board, taking over from Stéphane Tsassis, who has decided to leave the House.

The Supervisory Board thanks Stéphane Tsassis for his dedication and energy within the company in a difficult economic environment, and wishes him every success in his subsequent career.

Michel Boulaire has agreed to perform this duty during a transitional period. Moves to recruit a new Chairman are already underway.

The Supervisory Board also appointed Etienne Auriau, currently Chief Financial Officer, and Michel Fauconnet, currently Cellar Master and Head of Vineyards, Supply and Production, to the Laurent-Perrier Group Management Board. They will join the two other members of the Management Board, Alexandra Pereyre de Nonancourt and Stéphanie Meneux de Nonancourt.

The Management Board thus now combines the main functions of the House to ensure strategic continuity, pursue commercial development, and galvanise the Laurent-Perrier workforce in order to take advantage of nascent economic recovery.
