  • The election of a Board Member representing the employee shareholders

Thierry Breton also presented the main directions of the Group’s transformation that he immediately put in place upon his arrival at the head of the Group. The company will present its Annual Results on 18 February 2009.

The shareholders subsequently approved the transformation of the company with a Board of Directors, the change of the by-laws and the appointment as directors of all the candidates.

The newly elected Board of Directors held its first meeting right after the General Meeting. It unanimously appointed Thierry Breton as Chairman and CEO of Atos Origin.
