Compagnie de Saint-Gobain

Shareholders' Meeting and Board of Directors' Meeting held on June 5, 2025: Benoit Bazin reappointed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

 

Compagnie de Saint-Gobain today held its Shareholders' Meeting, at the close of which it also held a Board of Directors' meeting, in the composition resulting from the Shareholders' Meeting.

At the meeting, which was attended by 76,59% of the shares having voting rights, all the proposed resolutions were adopted by a large majority.

 

Renewal of Benoit Bazin's term of office as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and appointment of three new independent directors

The director's term of office of Benoit Bazin was renewed by the Shareholders' Meeting and the Board of Directors reappointed him as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain, in line with the intention announced on November 28, 2024. Jean-François Cirelli remains Lead Independent Director and Vice-Chairman of the Board.

Sibylle Daunis Opfermann, Director representing employee shareholders, was also reappointed.

The Meeting also approved the appointment of 3 new independent directors:

· Maya Hari, a Singaporean national, partner at Modern Manifesto;

· Antoine de Saint-Affrique, a French national, Chief Executive Officer of Danone;

· Hans Sohlström, a Finnish national, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stora Enso.

These appointments bring the proportion of independent directors to 91% of Board members (excluding employee directors and those representing employee shareholders in accordance with the French code, Afep-Medef), i.e. 100% excluding the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Pamela Knapp, Agnès Lemarchand and Gilles Schnepp are leaving the Board of Directors as their terms of office have expired. The directors recognized their contributions to the Board's discussions and decisions as well as to the work of the Board Committees.
