(1) The Board of Directors took note of the resignation of Mrs Anette Bronder with effect from January 3, 2023, due to her wish to take up an executive position within an auditing firm, which is incompatible with the continuation of her term of office as Director of L'Air Liquide S.A. The Board met on February 15, 2023, and decided to appoint Mrs Monica de Virgiliis as Director for the remaining term of office of Mrs Anette Bronder, i.e., until the Annual General Meeting of 2024. Mrs Monica de Virgiliis has been qualified as independent by the Board of Directors.
