Korian (Paris:KORI):
Christian Chautard has announced his intention to step down from
his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors after nine years for
personal reasons. The Board met on 1st October and has appointed
Jean-Pierre Duprieu to succeed him.
Jean-Pierre Duprieu was previously a member of the Air Liquide’s
group executive committee, notably in charge of Europe and the
Healthcare division, as well as a member of Michelin’s supervisory
board and a director of Groupe SEB. At Korian, Jean-Pierre Duprieu
has been an independent director since June 2016, Chairman of the
Compensation and Appointments Committee until then and a member of
the Audit Committee. His extensive experience in the healthcare
sector, international development and operational integration,
along with his acknowledged expertise in governance, will be
particularly valuable in supporting Korian’s development in the
coming years in line with the Group’s existing strategy.
Christian Chautard has been a member of Korian’s governance
bodies since 2011, first as Chairman of Korian’s Supervisory Board
then as Chairman of its Board of Directors since 2012. Under his
leadership, Korian has grown sixfold and it has become Europe’s
leading care group for elderly and fragile people, operating in 600
communities across six countries and offering a diverse array of
medical and medical-social services including post-acute and
rehabilitation care, long-term care nursing home care, assisted
living facilities and home care. Although he will also cease to be
a director of Korian on 1st October, he will remain Chairman of the
Korian Foundation in Germany.
Following this change, the Board of Directors is comprised of 11
directors (including 2 directors representing employees), including
5 independent directors (i.e., 55% of the directors, without taking
into account directors representing employees) and 5 female
directors (i.e., approximately 55%, whithout taking into account
directors representing employees).
In addition, Anne Lalou was appointed Chairman of the
Compensation and Appointments Committee and Holding Malakoff
Humanis represented by Anne Ramon was appointed Chairman of the
Ethics, Quality and CSR Committee.
Taking these changes into account, the Company continues to
comply with the recommendations of the AFEP-MEDEF Code regarding
independent directors and gender diversity.
The Board of Directors would like to offer Christian Chautard
its sincere thanks for having contributed so much to Korian’s
development over the past decade. The Board’s members are pleased
to be ensuring continuity in the Group’s governance, with
Jean-Pierre Duprieu as Chairman of the Board of Directors and
Sophie Boissard as Chief Executive Officer.
