Changes to the Board of Directors composition
The shareholders approved the renewal of the terms of office of Jean-Jacques Morin and Françoise Mercadal-Delasalles and ratified the appointment of Mandy Metten as a censor on the Board of Directors.
The Annual General Meeting also approved the appointment of Surojit Chatterjee as a new independent Director. He has in-depth expertise in artificial intelligence, combined with extensive product management experience, and over twenty years’ experience in the technology sector.
At the close of the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors also noted the end of the term of office of Elizabeth Tinkham, Lead Independent Director and Chair of the Nomination and Governance Committee. The Board of Directors would like to thank her for her exemplary contribution to the Board’s work and discussions.
Appointment of a new Lead Independent Director
Following the Annual General Meeting, the Board met and, on the recommendation of the Nomination and Governance Committee, unanimously approved the appointment of Laurent Collet-Billon as the new Lead Independent Director, in addition to his current role as Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Laurent Collet-Billon, Director of Atos SE since June 28, 2023 and Vice-Chairman of the Board since October 14, 2023, has played an important role in the Group’s restructuring and turnaround. The Board considered that he has all the necessary qualities to ensure that the Board of Directors applies the highest standards of corporate governance, and that shareholders’ concerns regarding governance are properly taken into account.
It should be noted that the prerogatives and resources of the Lead Independent Director have been strengthened in the Board of Directors’ Internal Rules of January 30, 2025, to take account of the fact that the functions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer are combined (available on the Company’s website – https://atos.net/en/investors/investors-corporate-governance).
