The Combined General Shareholders' Meeting of
BOURBON SA Corporation was held on May 23, 2017 in Paris and

All resolutions were approved and, in
particular:

shares;
- the renewal of Mr. Guillaume de Chateauvieux and Mr. Baudoin
Monnoyeur as directors for three years;
- the ratification of the provisional appointment of Ms. Adeline

for three years;
- the appointment as a director for three years of Ms. Elisabeth
Van Damme, to replace Mr. Bernhard Schmidt;
- the approval of the principles and criteria for determining,
allocating, and granting the components of executive officer
compensation for the 2017 fiscal year;
- the approval of the components of the compensation due or
granted for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 to Jacques de
Chateauvieux, Christian Lefèvre and Gaël Bodénès;
- the authorization for the Board of Directors to trade in the
Company's own shares (buybacks and cancellations of
shares);
- the renewal of the authorizations enabling the Board of
Directors, if it deems appropriate, to make any issuances that may
be necessary in the context of the development of the Company's
business activities.
The Board of Directors, as a result, comprises
ten members including four women, three members of foreign
nationality and five independent members. The Board's membership
thus provides a complementary range of experiences and
cultures.
