3.1.4 Changes in the composition of the Board

At the Shareholders’ General Meeting of 9 April 2024, a resolution to renew Benoit Bazin’s term of office as Director was passed.

In addition, Qatar Holding LLC, with Abdullah Hamad Al Attiyah as its permanent representative, resigned from the Board effective 10 June 2024.

At the Shareholders’ General Meeting of 17 April 2025, resolutions will be put to the vote to renew Yannick Assouad’s term of office as Director and to appoint Pierre Anjolras (who is a French national), Karla Bertocco Trindade (who is a Brazilian national), and María Victoria Zingoni (who is a national of both Argentina and Spain), as Directors. It should also be noted that Graziella Gavezotti’s term of office as Director will end at the close of this same meeting.

The Board has decided to propose the renewal of Yannick Assouad’s term of office as Director, given her expertise in air transport, her in-depth knowledge of the Group and the fact that she is heavily involved in the work of the Board, serving not only as Lead Director, but also as Chair of the Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee and as a member of the Audit Committee.

Furthermore, as part of the implementation of the succession plan for Xavier Huillard in his role as VINCI’s Chief Executive Officer and in light of the separation of the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer due to take place following the Shareholders’ General Meeting of 17 April 2025, the Board has decided to propose the appointment of Pierre Anjolras as Director during this same meeting.

Lastly, due to the departures of several directors, the Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee sought to recommend candidates to the Board having an international profile and offering both technical and financial skills. During its meeting of 6 February 2025, the Board approved the Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation to submit the appointments of Karla Bertocco Trindade and María Victoria Zingoni as Directors for approval at the Shareholders’ General Meeting of 17 April 2025.

Mr Anjolras, Ms Bertocco Trindade and Ms Zingoni have experience and expertise in the following areas:
