SCHIPHOL-RIJK (dpa-AFX) - Airbus said that its shareholders approved all resolutions proposed at the 2022 Annual General Meeting, including the appointment of a new director and the renewal of three Board members among them the Chief Executive Officer.
Irene Rummelhoff, Executive Vice President Marketing, Midstream & Processing at Norwegian energy company Equinor ASA, was appointed a non-executive director on the Airbus Board.
The shareholders approved the renewal of the Board mandate of Guillaume Faury as executive director and he was formally reappointed Airbus CEO at a Board meeting following the AGM. Catherine Guillouard and Claudia Nemat were re-elected non-executive directors.
