Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders was held on 22 May 2012 at Paris Expo, Grande Arche of Paris La Defense, and was chaired by Frédéric Oudéa.

The quorum was established at 59.14% vs. 60.49 % in 2011:

  • 841 shareholders attended the Annual General Meeting,
  • 438 shareholders were represented,
  • 5,407shareholders voted by post,
  • 6,018 shareholders, representing less than 2,6% of the capital, gave their proxy to the Chairman.
  • More than 30% of the votes have been posted on the Internet before the Annual General Meeting.

All the resolutions put forward by the Board of Directors were adopted, in particular:

  • the 2011 parent company and consolidated financial statements were approved,
  • two directors were renewed for a period of four years: Michel Cicurel and Nathalie Rachou,
  • two new directors were appointed for a period of four years: Yann Delabrière and Thierry Martel,
  • Deloitte et Associés and Ernst & Young were appointed as statutory auditors for a period of six financial years.

The resolution presented by the shareholders to transform the Company's form of governance through the creation of an Executive Board and a Supervisory Board was rejected.

The voting results are detailed in the appendix.

Board of Directors

Upon the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee's suggestion, the Board of Directors appointed Jean-Bernard Lévy as a member of the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee in the place of Luc Vandevelde.

These committees comprise four directors, three of whom are independent: Cicurel, Folz (Chairman), Lévy and Wyand (non-independent).
