Appointments and renewals to Edenred’s Board of
Directors to be proposed at the General Meeting on May 11, 2021
On the recommendation of the Compensation and
Appointments Committee, Edenred’s Board of Directors has approved
the list of directors for appointment and renewal to be put to the
Company’s General Meeting, that will be held on May 11,
2021.
At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to
approve the renewal of Sylvia Coutinho and Françoise Gri for
further four-year terms, and to approve the appointment of Angeles
Garcia-Poveda, Monica Mondardini and Philippe Vallée as directors,
also for four-year terms.
The candidates were selected on the basis of
individual experience, skills, and expertise, as per the criteria,
defined by the Compensation and Appointments Committee and by the
Board of Directors. The Board also sought to maintain balanced
membership, both in terms of gender and international
experience.
Françoise Gri, an independent director
since 2010, Lead Independent Director, Vice-Chairman of the Board
of Directors, and Chairman of the Compensation and Appointments
Committee, will be put forward for renewal. A French
national, Françoise Gri brings to the Board her expertise in B2B2C
relations, digital technology, management and strategy. Thanks to
her experience as a member of the Board of Directors, and to her
role as Vice-Chairman, she can appreciate the Group’s various
challenges, while leveraging on her good knowledge of the Company’s
shareholder base.
Sylvia Coutinho, an independent director
since 2016 and a member of the Compensation and Appointments
Committee, will be put forward for renewal. A Brazilian
national, Sylvia Coutinho provides the Board with the benefit of
her expertise in finance and corporate social responsibility.
Sylvia Coutinho has good knowledge of asset management, which is
useful for the Group given its structurally negative working
capital. Sylvia Coutinho also brings her international experience
to the Board, and her in-depth knowledge of the Brazilian market –
a key region for the Group.
Angeles Garcia-Poveda will be put
forward for appointment as an independent director.
A Spanish national, Angeles Garcia Poveda has developed
expertise in strategy and talent management, notably while working
at BCG (1993-2008), and in human capital, governance advisory, and
management at Spencer Stuart (since 2008), where she led the EMEA
region. She also has experience in governance of a listed company
as both Chairman of the Board of Directors and member of the
Strategy and Social Responsibility Committee of Legrand.
Monica Mondardini will be put forward
for appointment as an independent director. An Italian
national, Monica Mondardini has held several international
management positions within the publishing (Hachette) and insurance
(Generali) ; sectors, which have witnessed fast-paced
digitalization. She also has experience in corporate governance as
Deputy Director of GEDI Gruppo Editoriale (2009-2018), director of
CIR S.p.A., a major industrial holding company listed on the Milan
stock exchange, and director of Crédit Agricole (2010-2021), where
she chairs the Appointments and Governance Committee.
Philippe Vallée will be put forward for
appointment as an independent director. A French national,
Philippe Vallée has acquired recognized expertise in international
management, digital technology, payment systems and IT security
throughout his career, which began at Matra. He subsequently held
different positions at Gemplus and then at Gemalto from 2006, where
he was Chief Executive Officer between 2016 and 2019. Philippe
Vallée is currently Executive Vice-President, Digital Identity and
Security at Thales.
Furthermore, the term of office of Anne
Bouverot, an independent director since 2010 and a member of the
Commitments Committee, will expire at the General Meeting of May
11, 2021. Anne Bouverot has informed the Board of Directors of her
wish not to stand for renewal. The Board therefore extends its
warmest thanks to Ms. Bouverot for her dedication and her
contribution to the work of the Board and the Commitments
Committee, of which she was a member since 2010.
If these resolutions are adopted, the Board of
Directors will have 14 members, of which two
employee-representative directors. It will include five women
appointed by the General Meeting (representing 41.6% of its
shareholder-appointed members) and the proportion of independent
directors will be more than 91% (11/12) based on the calculation
method in the AFEP-MEDEF Code, which excludes
employee-representative directors.
