COMMUNICATION OF RENAULT’S BOARD OF
DIRECTORS
Boulogne-Billancourt, February 18, 2021- Groupe
Renault continues the renewal of its Board of Directors, which
began in 2019, strengthening its financial, digital and mobility
expertise.
At today’s meeting, on the recommendation of the
Governance and Remuneration Committee, Renault's Board of Directors
decided to propose to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on
April 23, 2021 the appointment of two new independent directors,
Bernard Delpit and Frédéric Mazzella.
To accompany the evolution of the Board by
limiting the number of its members, Patrick Thomas announced his
decision to make his term of office available to the Board as of
the 2021 General Meeting, one year in advance.
The Board of Directors also decided to propose
the renewal for four years of the terms of office of Miriem
Bensalah Chaqroun, Marie-Annick Darmaillac, Yu Serizawa and Thomas
Courbe.
Finally, the Board of Directors will submit to
the General Meeting the appointment of Noël Desgrippes, a candidate
for the position of Director representing employee shareholders, to
replace Benoit Ostertag whose term of office expires.
Mr. Jean-Dominique Senard, Chairman of
the Board of Directors, said :
"I would like to thank Patrick Thomas, who has
been a pillar of the Board of Directors in recent years and who is
now anticipating the end of his term of office in order to
accompany the acceleration of Groupe Renault's
transformation. The appointments of Bernard Delpit and Frédéric
Mazzella, proposed by the Board of Directors, are part of a new
dynamic. Bernard Delpit has a long experience of financial issues
in the public sphere as well as with major listed groups and has
held operational responsibilities in the automotive industry.
Frédéric Mazzella is a leading innovative entrepreneur and the
creator of one of the most emblematic companies in the world of new
mobility. Their experience and wide-ranging profiles will be
invaluable assets in supporting the implementation of the Groupe
Renault's strategic plan.
I am also very pleased that Noël Desgrippes has
been nominated for the position of Director representing employee
shareholders. His knowledge of the company and his commitment
within the employee representative bodies will be valuable assets
for the Board of Directors, which will be particularly attentive to
the voice of the employees”.
