Changes in the composition of the ENGIE Board of Directors

ENGIE’s Board of Directors, which met on February 21, 2024, decided, on the recommendation of the Appointments, Compensation and Governance Committee, to propose the following changes to the Board of Directors composition at the Annual General Meeting to be held on April 30, 2024:

    - The appointment of Michel Giannuzzi as an independent director to replace Lord Peter Ricketts of Shortlands, whose term of office expires at this Annual General Meeting;

    - The renewal of the independent directorship of Fabrice Brégier, whose term of office will also expire.

Michel Giannuzzi's experience as a director of listed industrial companies, as well as his international experience and knowledge of energy-intensive industrial sectors and decarbonization issues, will complement the experience and skills present on the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors warmly thanks Lord Peter Ricketts of Shortlands for his involvement in the Board's work over the past 8 years.

If the Annual General Meeting of April 30, 2024 follows the Board's recommendations on this proposed appointment and renewal, the number of directors will remain at 14, of whom 60% will be independent directors and 50% women.
