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.
