Management and Supervisory Bodies 3.1
Eurazeo has opted for a dual governance structure comprising an Executive Board and a Supervisory Board since 2002. This choice represents the highest standards of corporate governance, as it ensures a balance of powers between executive and oversight functions. As part of the Company’s conversion to a European company at the Shareholders’ Meeting of May 11, 2017, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board structure was retained. Managerial functions are carried out by the Executive Board, which meets at least once a month and as often as required in the best interests of the Company. The Executive Board is vested with the most extensive powers to act on behalf of the Company in all circumstances, within the limits of the corporate purpose and subject to the powers expressly attributed by law and the Company's Bylaws. EXECUTIVE BOARD 3.1.1 Members of the Executive Board 3.1.1.1 The Executive Board has four members. Executive Board members since March 19, 2018 are Virginie Morgon, Chairwoman of the Executive Board, Philippe Audouin, Directeur Général Finances – CFO, Nicolas Huet, General Secretary and Olivier Millet, Chairman of the Eurazeo PME Executive Board. The Supervisory Board meeting of November 27, 2017 renewed Virginie Morgon’s term of office as a member of the Executive Board for a period of four years, effective March 19, 2018. The Board also appointed Virginie Morgon as the Company’s Chairwoman of the
Members of the Executive Board may, with the authorization of the Supervisory Board, divide management tasks among themselves. This division of tasks may not cause the Executive Board to lose its status as the body responsible for the collective management of the Company. The Supervisory Board oversees the Company's management in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the Company's Bylaws. Its distinguished members meet as frequently as the Company's interests require, and at least once a quarter. Throughout the year, the Supervisory Board performs the checks and controls it deems warranted, and may request any document it considers necessary to carry out its duties.
Executive Board, replacing Patrick Sayer, whose fourth term of office as Chairman and a member of Eurazeo’s Executive Board ended on March 18, 2018. This appointment, decided unanimously by the Supervisory Board, is part of a smooth transition plan, reflecting the high quality of the Company’s governance. The Supervisory Board meeting of March 8, 2018 renewed Philippe Audouin’s term of office as a member of the Executive Board and appointed Nicolas Huet and Olivier Millet as members of the Executive Board for periods of four years, effective March 19, 2018.
