Paris, 24 September 2020: MRM
(Euronext code ISIN FR0000060196), a real estate investment
company specialising in retail property, today announces the
appointment of François Matray as Chief Executive Officer. This
appointment, which will be effective as of 1 October 2020, follows
Jacques Blanchard’s decision to retire. After joining MRM and
becoming a member of the Board of directors when MRM was
established as a real estate investment company in 2007, Jacques
Blanchard has held the role of Chief Executive Officer since 2009.
He will remain a director of the company.
The members of the Board of directors have
unanimously praised the work done by Jacques Blanchard, from the
implementation of MRM’s strategy to the refocusing of its business
on retail property, having successfully carried out the
recapitalisation operation in 2013 that resulted notably in the
arrival of SCOR as majority shareholder.
François de Varenne, Chairman of MRM’s
Board of directors, comments: “We are pleased to welcome
François Matray and to be able to capitalise on his know-how and
experience. With MRM coming to the end of the investment plan
initiated in 2016, these strengths constitute valuable advantages
to prepare for the next stages of the company’s life and to adapt
it further to changes in the retail sector. I would also like to
praise the work done by Jacques Blanchard, thanks to whom the
company can now rely on a portfolio of modernised assets with
renewed momentum, as well as a solid financial position. I am
delighted that the Board of directors will be able to continue to
benefit from his in-depth knowledge of the company and his retail
property expertise.”
