* Alexandre Ricard joined this Committee at the close of the 23 April 2024 Annual General Meeting.
The committee is chaired by Virginie Morgon, an independent Director who has recognised financial expertise. Due to their professional experience and their good knowledge of the Group's accounting and financial procedures, the members of the Audit Committee all have financial and/or accounting skills and are deemed to be financial experts within the meaning of Article L. 821-67 of the French Commercial Code.
In addition to the specific skills of certain Committee members, the Committee is given regular updates on sustainability issues, particularly draft regulations. Since 2018, the Committee has been responsible for monitoring issues relating to financial and non-financial information and monitoring risk management systems, including sustainability risks. Since the start of 2024, the Audit Committee has been responsible for the implementation of the CSRD.
The Statutory Auditors attend the meetings, except where discussions are about them. The Committee meets at least twice a year without management being present, and the Statutory Auditors attend these meetings. The Committee did not deem it necessary to call upon outside experts. The Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are not members of the Committee.
On the recommendation of the Nominations and Governance Committee, the Board of Directors has appointed Jacques Ripoll as Chair of the Audit Committee in view of his recognised expertise in finance, accounting and sustainability, as demonstrated by his career in top management positions in leading financial institutions.
Alexandre Ricard, Isabelle Seillier and Téthys will join the Audit Committee as of the close of the Annual General Meeting on 29 April 2025 (1) .
Nicolas Meyers and Ilham Kadri will leave the Committee as part of broad-based changes to the composition of all the Committees.
