Paris, May 24,
2018 - The Shareholders' Meeting of Capgemini SE, held yesterday at
Pavillon d'Armenonville in Paris, adopted all resolutions presented
for vote. Paul Hermelin's term of office as
director was renewed by shareholders and the Board of Directors
subsequently confirmed his duties as Chairman of the Board of
Directors and Chief Executive Officer. The Shareholders' Meeting
also approved the appointment of Frédéric Oudéa as a new

The Shareholders' Meeting provided

Capgemini in the years to come. The Chief Operating Officers also
spoke; Thierry Delaporte on the evolution of the Group's service
portfolio, and Aiman Ezzat on the management and development of the
Group's go-to-market.
Paul Hermelin, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of the Capgemini Group, stated: "Bolstered by the repeated support of its shareholders and
the Board of Directors - whom I would like to thank - Capgemini can
reaffirm its ambitions: to position itself as an industry leader
through the quality of its customer references, its offers and its
talent. We are also committed to digital inclusion, which is a
priority for us in terms of our Corporate Social
Responsibility."
Shareholders adopted the
distribution of a dividend of €1.70 per share for fiscal year 2017.
The dividend will be paid from June 6, 2018, with an ex-dividend
date of June 4, 2018.
The Shareholders' Meeting approved
the following resolutions on the Board's composition:
-
Paul Hermelin's term of office as director was
renewed. The Board then confirmed Paul Hermelin's duties as
Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, as
well as those of Thierry Delaporte and Aiman Ezzat as Chief
Operating Officers.
-
Frédéric Oudéa[1], Chief
Executive Officer of Société Générale, was appointed as a member of
the Board of Directors for a four-year term. He will bring to the
Board his experience in managing a leading banking group with an
ambitious international development plan and known for its
innovative digital services.
-
The terms of office as director of Laurence

term.
-
The Board of Directors following the

Following this Shareholders'
Meeting, Capgemini SE's Board of Directors has 13
directors[2], including
two directors representing employees. 80% of directors are
independent[3] and 45% are
women[4], with a
reduced average age of 59 years old. This reflects the Board's
desire to combine efforts in recent years to renew its composition,
increase the number of women, and diversify profiles within a
reduced number of directors; to reinforce cohesion and collective
and efficient decision-making. In line with its diversity policy,
the Board will continue the international diversification of its
composition in the coming years.
The Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer's 2017 compensation components were approved, along with
the principles and criteria for determining the remuneration of the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the two Chief Operating
Officers. The Shareholders' Meeting also approved the regulated
