The discharge of the members of the Board of Directors was approved, and all five incumbent directors were re-elected: Mr. Lex Bentner, Mr. Marc Lepiece, Mr. Christophe Manset, Mr. Jean-Michel Pacaud, and Mr. Raphael Houillon. Mr. Lex Bentner was re-elected as Chairman of the Board, and the same three directors—Mr. Bentner, Mr. Lepiece, and Mr. Manset—were re-elected to the Appointment and Remuneration Committee.
