Change in the composition of Capgemini’s Board of Directors
proposed to the 2025 Shareholders’ Meeting
Paris, February 17, 2025 – The Board of Directors of Capgemini SE, meeting on February 17, 2025, deliberated, based on the report of the Ethics & Governance Committee, on the change in its composition to be proposed to the next Shareholders’ Meeting of May 7, 2025.
The Board of Directors decided to propose to the 2025 Shareholders’ Meeting, i) the renewal of the terms of office of Messrs. Patrick Pouyanné and Kurt Sievers and ii) the appointment of Mr. Jean-Marc Chéry as member of the Board of Directors, for a term of four years. This proposal is in line with the Board’s ambition to enrich the diversity of its profiles and deepen its industry expertise.
Mr. Jean-Marc Chéry, a French national, is the President and Chief Executive Officer of STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor company at the heart of the Intelligent Industry, committed to manufacturing sustainable technologies and offering its customers innovative solutions. He would also bring to the Board his expertise in technology, artificial intelligence, and industry knowledge, particularly in the automotive and energy sectors.
The Board considers Mr. Jean-Marc Chéry to be independent pursuant to the criteria of the AFEP-MEDEF Code to which the Company refers.
Assuming the adoption of these resolutions by the Shareholders’ Meeting of May 7, 2025, the composition of the Board of Directors would therefore count 15 directors, including two directors representing employees and one director representing employee shareholders. 83% of its members would be independent1, 40% would have international profiles and 42% would be women1.
