COMBINED SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING OF MAY 10, 2017
Paris, May 10,
2017 - The Combined Shareholders' Meeting of
Cap Gemini S.A. held today at Pavillon d'Armenonville in Paris,
approved all 19 resolutions presented for vote, including the
adoption of the European Company (SE) legal form, the appointment
of a new director, Patrick Pouyanné, and the renewal of the terms
of office of directors that had expired.
Shareholders approved the distribution of a
dividend of €1.55 per share[1] for fiscal
year 2016. The dividend will be paid from May 24, 2017, with an
ex-dividend date of May 22, 2017.
The Shareholders' Meeting ratified the following
resolutions on the composition of the Board:
-
Patrick Pouyanné[2], Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of TOTAL, was appointed as a director
for a four-year term. He is considered an independent director with
respect to AFEP-MEDEF Code criteria. He brings to the Board his
management experience in a leading international energy group, a
sector where new technologies play an essential role.
-
The terms of office as director of Daniel
Bernard, Anne Bouverot and Pierre Pringuet were also renewed for a
four-year period.
The Board of Directors now has
16 directors, of whom 62% are independent[3] and
43% are women[4].
In addition, the Board of
Directors made the following changes to its organization. Daniel
Bernard was appointed Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors and
will work closely with Paul Hermelin, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, to prepare for future developments in the Group's
governance. Pierre Pringuet was appointed Lead Independent Director
and Chairman of the Ethics and Governance Committee, while the
chair of the Compensation Committee was entrusted to Laurence
Dors.
Cap Gemini S.A.'s conversion to a
"European Company" (Societas Europaea) was
adopted by a 97.98% majority. This new legal form, which only
concerns the Group parent company, Cap Gemini S.A., more accurately
reflects the true position of the Group, which is both firmly
international, with a presence in over 40 countries, and deeply
rooted in Europe[5]. At the
same time, the Company's name will be aligned with the Group's
brand and become Capgemini (one word).
With 2017 marking the
50th anniversary
of the creation by M. Serge Kampf of the Grenoble start-up that is
now Capgemini Group, the Shareholders' Meeting was also an
opportunity to remember the milestones in the Group's journey to
becoming a global leader in consulting and IT services and the
digital transformation of companies.
