Danone: Update on 2021 Annual General Meeting
Press Release – Paris, March 17, 2021
Update
on 2021 Annual General Meeting
Danone Combined Shareholders’ Meeting will be
held on Thursday April 29, 2021 at 2:30 pm (Paris time), at the
headquarters – 17 boulevard Haussmann, 75009 Paris. In the context
of the continued restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic,
this Shareholders’ Meeting will be exceptionally held behind closed
doors.
Indeed, administrative measures, limiting or
prohibiting travel or collective gathering for health reasons
prevent the physical gathering of Danone shareholders to the
Shareholders’ Meeting, particularly in view of the closure of
conference and meeting rooms, the obligation to respect physical
distance measures and the number of people usually present at
previous Shareholders’ Meetings.
Shareholders may follow the Shareholders’
Meeting, which will be webcast live and recorded for later viewing,
in French and English, on Danone's website. Shareholders are
encouraged to vote or give a proxy by electronic means, ahead of
the Shareholders’ Meeting. The modalities and voting procedures of
this Meeting will be detailed in the notice of meeting, which will
be published beginning of April on www.danone.com (page
“Shareholders’ Meeting”).
To be in a position to take into account the
future needs of the company, the Board has decided to pause and
reconsider any immediate members refreshment; therefore, the
proposed nominations of Ariane Gorin and Susan Roberts as Directors
won’t be presented to the shareholders’ meeting. This decision
takes place as part of the Board’s broader thinking about its
structure, size, blend of capabilities, perspectives and
experiences.
As a consequence, only the following renewal and
appointments of Directors will be proposed at the 2021
shareholders’ meeting: renewal of the terms of office of Guido
Barilla, Cécile Cabanis, Michel Landel, and Serpil Timuray, and
ratification of the co-opting of Gilles Schnepp as Director decided
by the Board in December 2020.
Draft resolutions proposed to the Shareholders’
Meeting will be published on www.danone.com (page “Shareholders’
Meeting”) in the coming days.
Finally, the upcoming Capital Market Event,
initially planned for March 25, is cancelled.
