shareholders.
As the mandates of Mrs. Élisabeth Badinter and Mrs. Cherie
Nursalim will expire at the end of the 2022 General Meeting, based
on the recommendation of the Nominating Committee and the decision
of the Supervisory Board, the shareholders’ vote is requested :

- and on the appointment of Mr. Tidjane Thiam as a new member of
the Supervisory Board, for a four-year term of office, on the other
hand,
The Supervisory Board recommends the reappointment of Mrs.
Élisabeth Badinter who, throughout her terms of office, has
provided unfailing support for the development and consolidation of
the Group's activities.
The Supervisory Board wanted to express its warm thanks and
appreciation to Mrs. Cherie Nursalim for her valuable contribution
to the work of the Board and the Committees in which she
participated throughout her term of office.
The Supervisory Board wishes to further strengthen the
international dimension and the diversity of experiences and skills
in its composition. It therefore unanimously decided, on the
recommendation of the Nominating Committee, to submit to the vote
of the Shareholders' Meeting the appointment of Mr. Tidjane Thiam,
whose skills and previous experience as the head of major financial
groups such as Prudential or Crédit Suisse and initiator of major
projects, particularly in China and Africa, will be a valuable
