Paris, 25 March 2024
Quadient (Euronext Paris: QDT), a leader in
helping businesses create meaningful customer connections through
digital and physical channels, announced today that the Board of
Directors decided to approve the co-option of Bpifrance
Investissement as an independent member of the Board of Directors,
effective 22 March 2024. Bpifrance Investissement will be
represented by Emmanuel Blot, Investment Director in Bpifrance Mid
& Large Cap division.
Bpifrance Investissement succeeds Sébastien
Marotte, who has decided not to stand for re-election at the Annual
General Meeting convened to approve the financial statements for
the year ending 31 January 2024, to devote himself entirely to his
professional duties. Sébastien Marotte’s resignation is effective
as of 20 March 2024 providing Bpifrance Investissement
with the opportunity to join the Board ahead of the next Annual
General Meeting and at the time of the FY 2023 results publication.
Bpifrance Investissement’s mandate will extend through the
remaining term of its predecessor, i.e., until the Annual General
Meeting convened to approve the financial statements for the year
ending 31 January 2024. During this Annual General
Meeting, scheduled for 14 June 2024, Quadient
shareholders will be asked to vote on the ratification of Bpifrance
Investissement co-option as well as on the renewal of its
mandate.
The co-option of Bpifrance Investissement as an
independent director of Quadient is in line with the governance
agreement signed between Bpifrance Participations and Quadient in
July 2023 and with the governance rules and appointment process
applicable to Quadient's Board of Directors. This agreement
provides, in particular, for the appointment of Bpifrance
Investissement as an independent director to take place as soon as
possible after the threshold of 8% of Quadient's share capital is
crossed, either by co-option in the event of a vacancy on the Board
or as part of a resolution submitted to the next Annual General
Meeting. Bpifrance Participations crossed the 8% threshold in
Quadient's capital on 27 November 2023.
As part of this agreement, Bpifrance also
undertook to support Quadient's overall strategy within the Board
of Directors and at the Annual General Meeting and to consider any
capital reinvestment opportunities that may be proposed by the
Company.
Didier Lamouche, Chairman of the board at
Quadient, commented: “On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would
like to thank Sébastien for his involvement in the exercise of his
mandate. Over the past few years, Sébastien has made a contribution
to the work and debates of the Board that was both relevant and
highly appreciated. I am very pleased to welcome Emmanuel to the
Board of Directors, as a permanent representative of Bpifrance
Investissement, our new independent Director. His expertise in the
areas of investment, financial analysis as well as venture capital
will be extremely valuable for the diversity of profiles within the
Board and to continue to effectively carry out our work supporting
the Company in the implementation of its strategy.”
The composition of the Board in terms of
diversity remains well aligned with the AFEP-MEDEF code and
reflects the Board’s ongoing commitment to gender diversity,
retaining a majority of independent members and good
stewardship.
