Directors
From January 2024 until the date of this annual report, the following changes were made to our Board of Directors:

●   In February 2024, Mr. José Ignacio (Nacho) Abia Buenache was appointed, by the co-option procedure, as a member of our Board of Directors, filling the vacancy that had been created when Mr. Steven F. Mayer resigned, under the category of “other external,” and the Board designated him as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) as of April 1, 2024, when his category changed to “executive.” As Mr. Abia was initially appointed as a director by the Board through a co-option procedure, his appointment was ratified at our general shareholders’ meeting held in June 2024.

●   In June 2024, Ms. Claire Giraut and Ms. Anne-Catherine Berner were appointed as independent directors at our general shareholders’ meeting. In addition, Mr. James Costos resigned as independent director.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

●   In July 2024, Ms. Claire Giraut and Ms. Carina Szpilka resigned as independent directors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

●   In December 2024, the Board unanimously appointed Mr. Pascal Ravery as an independent director and Mr. Paul S. Herendeen as a proprietary director to fill two vacancies, both by the co-option procedure, filling the vacancies that had been created when Ms. Claire Giraut and Ms. Carina Szpilka resigned. Therefore, their appointments are subject to ratification at our next general shareholders’ meeting to be held in June 2025. Mr. Paul Herendeen was appointed to comply with the request of certain minority shareholders (FF Hybrid LP, Flat Footed Series LLC-Fund3, GP Recovery Fund LLC, Mason Capital Master Fund, and Sachem Head LP), who grouped their shares to exercise their right to proportional representation, which was fulfilled by Mr. Herendeen’s appointment as proprietary director.
