A NEW DIRECTOR IN 2019
The Board of Directors is nominating Ian Hudson to serve as an independent director at the next Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on May 21, 2019.
A British national and current chair of Carbios’s Board of Directors, Ian Hudson began his career at ICI, a former U.K. multinational specializing in chemicals and related sectors. In 1998, he joined DuPont de Nemours, where for 17 years he held a number of leadership positions. He retired in 2016 after serving for more than 10 years as President, Europe, Middle East and Africa. He was a member of the Executive Committee and the Advisory Committee of the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) and EuropaBio. He was also a member of the IMD Foundation Board and the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce. His appointment will bring his many years of experience as a senior executive in the specialty chemicals industry, his cultural knowledge of the English-speaking world and his international experience to the Board of Directors.
In 2018, the Board of Directors met six times, down from eight times in 2017. The attendance rate was 97%, versus 90.5% in 2017.
To strengthen its expertise, the Board of Directors has two permanent specialized committees.

THE NOMINATING, COMPENSATION & CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE
The Committee is chaired by Thierry Morin and comprised of three other directors: François Énaud, Alexandre de Juniac and Victoire de Margerie.
The Nominating, Compensation & Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations and proposals concerning the Board, the Chairman and CEO’s compensation and corporate governance best practices.
