As part of its strategy to strengthen governance and in line with best practice, the meeting of the CNP Assurances Board of Directors on 22 December 2021, on the recommendation of the Compensation and Appointments committee, co-opted Amélie Breitburd to the role of independent director, with effect from the end of the session. She therefore participated for the first time, on January 6, 2022, in the board meeting held.
Amélie Breitburd is appointed for the remainder of the term of office of Jean-François Lequoy, the director proposed by the BPCE group who was co-opted in November 2021 as a replacement for Jean-Yves Forel; that is, until the 2022 general meeting of shareholders to approve the accounts for the year ending 31 December 2021.
This is as a result of Mr Lequoy’s resignation following the acquisition of La Banque Postale of BPCE’s 16.1% share in CNP Assurances on 16 December 2021. Meanwhile, Laurent Mignon, Chairman of the BPCE group Management Board, remains a member of the Board of Directors.
This co-option will be submitted for ratification at the next general meeting of CNP Assurances shareholders.
