FDE strengthens its governance with the appointment of Jonathan Ludmir as an Observer on the Board of Directors
An appointment that demonstrates the confidence of a new institutional infrastructure investor in FDE's developments
Pontpierre, France, 18 March 2026 - FDE (Euronext: FDE - ISIN: FR0013030152), a low-carbon energy producer, announces the forthcoming appointment of Jonathan Ludmir, representative of InfraWealth Capital SF ("InfraWealth"), as an observer on the Board of Directors. This appointment is part of a shareholder representation process linked to InfraWealth's significant stake in FDE's capital and is intended, in the long term, to result in a full representation on the Board of Directors, subject in particular to the decisions of the relevant governance bodies of FDE.
A committed shareholder supporting the strategy
This appointment comes against the backdrop of InfraWealth's significant 5.7% stake in La Française de l'Énergie (FDE). It reflects the confidence of an institutional investor specialising in energy infrastructure in the Group's strategy of building, owning and managing productive and profitable real assets dedicated to low-carbon energies such as gas, electricity, hydrogen and heat, which are key to addressing climate and energy sovereignty challenges.
Strengthening corporate governance
The appointment of Jonathan Ludmir to the Board of Directors as an observer is part of an ongoing initiative to improve FDE's governance fully dedicated to the sustainable creation of value for all shareholders. This approach also reflects the importance of having strong shareholder representation on the Board, in order to enrich discussions on capital allocation, strategic priorities and best governance practices.
InfraWealth's involvement also enables the company to benefit from the support of Clearway Capital, a co-investor of InfraWealth, which possesses in-depth expertise in listed markets and best governance practices, thereby complementing the transactional experience and disciplined capital allocation approach that InfraWealth has developed.
An infrastructure specialist
With its international experience in energy infrastructure investment, Jonathan Ludmir brings a global perspective and in-depth knowledge of the sector's challenges. Mr Ludmir has successfully helped to structure large financing for various infrastructure projects, acting as an active minority partner alongside funds and operators such as FDE. His expertise in project development and investment strategy is a valuable asset in supporting FDE on its growth trajectory. He will enable the Board of Directors to benefit from complementary skills and recognised expertise in the energy and infrastructure sector, thereby enriching the Group's strategic thinking.
Julien Moulin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of FDE, said: "We are delighted to welcome Jonathan Ludmir as an observer to our Board of Directors. His appointment reflects the strength of our relationship with InfraWealth, a committed shareholder that shares our vision of the energy market and our Group's development strategy. His international experience and his knowledge of infrastructure players will be valuable assets in supporting our growth strategy as a leading infrastructure operator."
