Change in the composition of Capgemini’s Board of Directors
proposed to the 2026 Shareholders’ Meeting
Paris, March 16, 2026 – The Board of Directors of Capgemini SE, meeting on March 16, 2026, deliberated on the change in its composition to be proposed to the next Shareholders’ Meeting of May 20, 2026.
Messrs. Xavier Musca and Frédéric Oudéa having indicated their desire not to seek reappointment 1, the Board of Directors warmly thanked them for their respective contributions to the work of the Board of Directors and its committees, and particularly as Chairman of the Audit & Risk Committee for the first one, and Lead Independent Director and Chairman of the Ethics & Governance Committee for the second one.
Based on the report of the Ethics & Governance Committee, the Board of Directors decided to propose to the 2026 Shareholders’ Meeting, i) the renewal of the terms of office of Mr. Paul Hermelin and Ms. Maria Ferraro and ii) the appointment of Ms. Véronique Weill 2 and Mr. Luc Rémont as members of the Board of Directors, for terms of four years. This proposal supports the Board’s ambition to maintain a diverse range of profiles and industry expertise, while further enhancing gender parity on the Board.
The Board of Directors proposes to retain, at the end of the next Shareholders’ Meeting, a governance structure separating the duties of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and to reappoint Mr. Paul Hermelin as Chairman of the Board for a final term, subject to the renewal of his term of office as director by the Shareholders’ Meeting. The Board of Directors considers that the reappointment of Mr. Hermelin as Chairman of the Board will provide the best possible framework for organizing the forthcoming successions of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer during the 2026-2030 period.
The Board of Directors also intends to appoint Mr. Patrick Pouyanné as Lead Independent Director at the end of the Shareholders’ Meeting. As an experienced executive, Mr. Patrick Pouyanné has extensive knowledge of the Company, having served as an independent member of the Board for nine years and participated in the previous Chief executive Officer succession process. He is Chairman of the Compensation Committee and member of the Ethics & Governance Committee.
Mr. Rémont will bring to the Board his executive management experience in leading international groups in the energy and energy transition sectors, where technology plays a key role. He will also contribute his financial expertise and merger and acquisitions experience, as well as his knowledge of the financial sector.
Ms. Véronique Weill has held numerous roles in the insurance and banking sectors in senior management positions within international companies. She will bring to the Board her financial expertise, her solid experience in corporate governance and CSR, as well as her knowledge of new technology and digital issues in the financial services sector.
The Board of Directors considers Mr. Luc Rémont and Ms. Véronique Weill to be independent pursuant to the criteria of the AFEP-MEDEF Code to which the Company refers.
The co-option of Ms. Lila Tretikov to replace Ms. Megan Clarken, decided by the Board of Directors on January 5, 2026, will also be presented for ratification at the next Shareholders’ Meeting 3.
Ms. Lila Tretikov will bring to the Board her technological skills and her recognized expertise in Artificial Intelligence as well as business transformation through technology.
Assuming the adoption of these resolutions by the Shareholders’ Meeting of May 20, 2026, the composition of the Board of Directors would remain stable with 15 directors, including two directors representing employees and one director representing employee shareholders. 83% of its members would be independent 4, 40% would have international profiles and 50% would be women 4.
It is specified that the provisions of Order 2024-934 enacting the “Women on Boards” Directive into French law, published on October 15, 2024, will only apply to Capgemini SE from January 1, 2027. Nevertheless, the Company will already comply with its provisions at the end of the Shareholders’ Meeting of May 20, 2026, subject to the approval of the above-mentioned resolutions. The percentage of women on the Board calculated according to the new applicable rules, i.e. including the director representing employee shareholders, would be 46%.
