Puteaux, France, 22 December 2023 (6:00 PM CET)
Guillaume Pepy, Chairman of the Board of Directors: "ORPEA can now look to the future with a largely new Board of Directors, reflecting the arrival of its new shareholders. I am delighted with this new governance structure. The skills of the new Board of Directors, combined with the long-term vision of our new shareholders, will give the Group the resources it needs to achieve its ambitions. Since summer 2022, the Group has been supported by a Board of Directors working closely with Laurent Guillot and his team to successfully implement the Refoundation Plan and the financial restructuring. Once again, I would like to thank the outgoing directors for their commitment, and on behalf of us all, I would like to congratulate Laurent Guillot and his team for their dedication to serving patients, residents and staff. I would also like to thank the newly appointed members of the Board for their renewed support and I shall continue to fulfil my role as Chairman of the Board with commitment and determination, serving all ORPEA's stakeholders and pursuing the Refoundation work that began over a year ago".
Laurent Guillot, Chief Executive Officer: "This General Meeting is a major step in the Refounding of the company. The arrival of Caisse des Dépôts, CNP, MAIF and MACSF as shareholders represented on the Board of Directors, is a sign of confidence in the company, its responsibilities and its vital role in serving the most vulnerable, and above all in the men and women who serve them in the field each day. I'm very pleased with this new governance structure and with the appointment to our Board of Directors of individuals with recognised experience. I would also like to thank the outgoing directors for their commitment and support throughout their tenure, alongside Guillaume Pepy, Chairman of the Board. The ORPEA Group is today starting a new chapter. Since 15 November 2022, we have been transforming ORPEA with our Refoundation Plan. We successfully restored the Company's financial balance, with the Group undergoing profound changes in one year. To improve the working conditions in our facilities and the care we provide to our residents, patients and beneficiary, we embarked on a transformation process and are achieving the first results, but we need to continue and accelerate. Thanks to the support of the Board, the commitment of its Chairman Guillaume Pepy, and the determination of all the Group's team, which I commend, we can embark on this new phase with confidence and ambition to become a company with a mission, serving the common interest".


▪ Board of Directors
Today's Combined General Meeting of ORPEA (the "Meeting") approved the major changes to the Board of Directors of ORPEA proposed in connection with its financial restructuring, and in accordance with (i) the Lock-Up agreement, entered into on 14 February 2023 between the Company and, firstly, Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, CNP Assurances, MAIF and MACSF (the "Groupement") and, secondly, five institutions holding the Company's unsecured debt and (ii) the Company's accelerated safeguard plan approved by the specialised commercial court of Nanterre on 24 July 2023.
Additionally the new Board of Directors, which met immediately after the Meeting, appointed two non-voting advisors.
Finally, May Antoun was appointed as director representing employees by the European Works Council of ORPEA at its plenary meeting of 13 December 2023.
Having regard to the expiry announced on 13 November 2023 of the terms of office of certain directors who were previously acting, and to these appointments, the Board of Directors of ORPEA is now composed of 13 directors and two non-voting advisors, including:
Three directors on the Board are independent, giving a proportion of independent directors of 27% (excluding directors representing employees and non-voting advisors). The composition of the Board of Directors is not compliant with recommendation 10.3 of the AFEP-MEDEF Code providing that, in controlled companies, the proportion of independent directors must be at least one third.
Appendix contains a table providing details and information about the members of the new Board of Directors.
▪ Board committees
At its first meeting, the new Board of Directors decided (i) to create an Investment Committee, (ii) to change the duties of its four Board Committees and (iii) to determine the new composition of those Committees.
Two directors on this Committee are independent, giving a proportion of independent directors of 40% (excluding non-voting advisors). The composition of the Audit and Risks


Committee is not compliant with recommendation 17.1 of the AFEP-MEDEF Code providing that the proportion of independent directors must be at least two thirds;
Two directors on this Committee are independent, giving a proportion of independent directors of 40% (excluding the director representing employees). The composition of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee is not compliant with recommendations 18.1 and 19.1 of the AFEP-MEDEF Code providing that the committee responsible for appointments and the committee responsible for remuneration must be composed of a majority of independent directors;
The duties of the Board Committees are set out in the Internal Rules of the Board of Directors, as amended on 22 December 2023, which are available on ORPEA's website at the following address: www.orpea-group.com/en/the-group/gouvernance
▪ Independence
The failure to comply with the recommendations of the AFEP-MEDEF Code relating to the proportion of independent directors on the Board of Directors, the Audit and Risks Committee and the Appointments and Remuneration Committee is due to the governance agreed in relation to the Groupement's stake in the Company's share capital, having regard to its acquisition of a majority shareholding, which is set out in the Company's accelerated safeguard plan approved by the specialised commercial court of Nanterre on 24 July 2023.
During this Meeting, the required majority of Company shareholders approved the resolutions relating to:


It should be noted that the shares of the beneficiaries of the issuance of share warrants without preemption rights for shareholders under the 27th and 28th resolutions were excluded from the vote on the corresponding resolutions pursuant to applicable regulations.
