Caroline Ruellan, who has been serving as an independent director at Atos since July 26, 2022, will have her cooptation ratified and her directorship renewed at the upcoming Annual General Meeting scheduled for June 28, 2023.

Appointment of Two New Independent Directors

During its meeting on May 16, 2023, the Board of Directors coopted Jean-Pierre Mustier as a new independent director. The ratification of his cooptation will be presented for approval by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

Additionally, the Board of Directors has decided to submit the appointment of Laurent Collet-Billon as a new independent director for approval by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

Jean-Pierre Mustier brings extensive business leadership and investment banking experience to the Board of Directors. With his financial expertise and deep understanding of the digital sector, particularly within the financial industry, he successfully spearheaded the transformation of UniCredit, a major European bank. Having also gained a comprehensive perspective of the fintech market during his tenure at the Pegasus fund, he possesses valuable insights into the current consolidation trends in asset management, banking, and finance sectors, driven by the acquisition of digital technologies and platforms.

Laurent Collet-Billon, a highly accomplished French military servant, achieved the highest-ranking military status as an Ingénieur général de l’armement de classe exceptionnelle.
