Regulatory News:

CARMAT (Paris:ALCAR) (FR0010907956, ALCAR), the designer and developer of the world’s most advanced total artificial heart, aiming to provide a therapeutic alternative for people suffering from end-stage biventricular heart failure, informs its shareholders that the Mixed Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 28, 2019 was able to deliberate, quorum having been reached.

The Meeting approved all the resolutions tabled, with the exception of the 29th resolution, which was rejected on the recommendation of the Board of Directors.

The Company’s shareholders notably ratified the cooptation of Mr. Jean-Pierre Garnier to the Board of Directors, enabling him to effectively carry out his duties as Chairman of the Board, as announced in December.

Moreover, Professor Alain Carpentier has become CARMAT’s Honorary Chairman, his mandate as a Board member having expired due to him reaching the age limit defined in the Company’s statutes.

The Board of Directors will thus consist of 9 members, 5 of them independent:

  • Mr. Jean-Pierre Garnier, Director and Chairman of the Board
  • Mr. Stéphane Piat, Chief Executive Officer
  • Mr. Henri Lachmann, Independent Director
  • Santé Holdings S.R.L., represented by Dr. Antonino Ligresti, Independent Director
  • Dr. Michael Mack, Independent Director
  • Mr. Pierre Bastid, Independent Director
  • Mr. Jean-Luc Lemercier, Independent Director
  • Truffle Capital, represented by Mr. Philippe Pouletty
  • Airbus Group, represented by Mrs. Anne-Pascale Guédon

CARMAT would like to thank all of the shareholders who attended in person, were represented by proxy or who voted by post for their commitment and support.

The consolidated result of the votes for each resolution and the minutes of the Mixed Shareholders’ Meeting of March 28, 2019 will be made available on the Company’s website, www.carmatsas.com, in the Regulated Information section, within the statutory timeframe.
