Compagnie de Saint-Gobain's Board of Directors decides to
propose the renewal of the Director's term of office of Mr.
Pierre-André de Chalendar and to co-opt Ms. Dominique Leroy, CEO of
Proximus, as an independent Director
In preparation for the next General Shareholders' Meeting to be
held on June 7, 2018, and based on the recommendation of the
Nomination and Remuneration Committee, Compagnie de Saint-Gobain's
Board of Directors unanimously decided at its meeting today to
propose the renewal of the Director's term of office of Mr.

If the General Shareholders' Meeting approves the renewal of his
term of office, the Board of Directors intends to reappoint Mr.
Pierre-André de Chalendar as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain.
"I am extremely honoured by the Board of Directors' renewed
confidence. If our shareholders approve the decision, I will
continue to work with pride and enthusiasm, alongside the entire
Saint-Gobain team, in order to pursue the transformation of a Group
which plays an increasing role with its customers in contributing
positively to their daily lives, and to provide value to our
shareholders," said Mr. Pierre-André de Chalendar.
At the proposal of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee,
Compagnie de Saint-Gobain's Board of Directors also decided to
co-opt Ms. Dominique Leroy as an independent Director to replace
Ms. Olivia Qiu, who resigned as Director, for the remainder of her
term of office, until the close of the General Shareholder's
Meeting to be held to approve the 2018 financial statements. This
co-optation, which takes effect today, will be subject to
ratification by the General Shareholders' Meeting to be held on
June 7, 2018.
Ms. Dominique Leroy is CEO of Proximus, listed on the first
market of Euronext Brussels. In addition to this role and her
Director's term of office at Saint-Gobain, on January 1(st) , 2018
she will also serve as an independent member of Ahold Delhaize's
Supervisory Board. She will bring to Saint-Gobain's Board of
Directors her experience as a non-French executive officer of a
listed group, and her operational knowledge of the distribution
sector and of digital transformation matters.
