Laurent-Perrier announces changes in Supervisory Board make-up: Patrick Thomas appointed Deputy Chairman, Bernard Rascle new co-opted member

At its November 19, 2015 meeting chaired by Maurice de Kervénoaël, the Laurent-Perrier Supervisory Board took note of François Philippoteaux's resignation for personal reasons from his mandate as Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board. After joining Laurent-Perrier in 1958 as Bernard de Nonancourt's deputy to develop the House of Laurent-Perrier, Mr Philippoteaux carried a wide range of responsibilities at Laurent-Perrier before his appointment to the Supervisory Board in 1991. The Board's members thanked him for the quality of his contribution to Laurent-Perrier's development.

The Deputy Chairmanship of the Supervisory Board has now been entrusted to Patrick Thomas. A member of the Laurent-Perrier Supervisory Board since 2011, Mr Thomas was Chief Executive of Hermès International from 2003 to 2014 and currently sits on the Boards of Renault, Ardian, Leica, Massilly Holding, and Château Palmer. He is also Chairman of the Board and a Director of Shang Xia Trading (Shanghai), a subsidiary of the Hermès Group.

The Supervisory Board has agreed to co-opt Bernard Rascle as its new member. A former partner of the Coopers & Lybrand then PricewaterhouseCoopers audit and consultancy firms, where he was a top executive in France, he has built up extensive knowledge of listed companies, especially of family-owned businesses in his time there. As a result, he brings Laurent-Perrier his corporate governance, information systems, audit, and risk management experience and abilities to the table. His appointment is subject to ratification by the General Meeting of Shareholders to be held in July 2016.

The Supervisory Board now comprises nine members, half of whom are independent: Maurice de Kervénoaël, Chairman, Patrick Thomas, Deputy Chairman, Marie Cheval, Bernard de La Giraudière, Claude de Nonancourt, Yann Duchesne, Éric Meneux, Jean-Louis Pereyre, and Bernard Rascle.

With these changes, Laurent-Perrier will be able to rely on a broad portfolio of complementary skills to drive Group change and development.
