The General Shareholders' Meeting of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain was held today, again in closed session given the current health context. The shareholders represented at the meeting held an aggregate 68.36% of the outstanding shares. All resolutions were adopted. In particular, this General Shareholders' Meeting appointed Benoit BAZIN, future Chief Executive Officer as from July 1st, 2021, as a new Director. Pierre-Andre de CHALENDAR will serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors as from this date, in accordance with the decision of the Board of Directors of February 25, 2021 to separate the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

In addition, the Directors' terms of office of Pamela KNAPP and Agnes LEMARCHAND, Independent Directors, of Gilles SCHNEPP and of Sibylle DAUNIS as Director representing employee shareholders, were renewed by the General Shareholders' Meeting. Philippe VARIN, whose experience and judgement have contributed significantly to the Board's debates and decisions, did not wish to renew his term of office, in view of the age limit he would have reached during his term of office if renewed, and leaves the Board today.
