The Combined General Meeting of Korian (Paris:KORI) shareholders held on June 6, 2019, under the chairmanship of Christian Chautard and in the presence of Sophie Boissard, Chief Executive Officer, Philippe Garin, Chief Financial Officer and the auditors.
Evolution of the Group's Board of DirectorsT
Replacing Ms. Stheeman, whose mandate was due to expire, the General Meeting appointed Mr. Jean-François Brin, a physician with clinical experience in geriatrics and a Master's degree from the HEC business school who achieved an international career within the Sanofi Group.
Taking into account the new provisions of the "Loi Pacte", the shareholders have also approved a statutory amendment that will allow the appointment of a second employee representative.
In order to reflect the Group's international dimension, this representative will be designated by the new European Works Council, which was approved last April by an agreement with 12 trade union organizations representative of the various countries in which the Group operates.
