Communiqué from the Board of Directors of
Orange
Following the verdict reached by the Paris Appeal Court, the
Orange group’s Board of Directors met today and took note of
Stéphane Richard's decision to hand over his mandate as Chairman
and CEO. The Board has accepted his resignation. This will take
effect once the new governance structure has been appointed and at
the latest by 31 January 2022. Stéphane Richard will continue in
his role until this date.
The Board of Directors wishes to underline Stéphane Richard's
desire to ensure that the Group’s governance is preserved. The
Board thanks him for his commitment at the helm of Orange for the
past 11 years, from restoring an appeased working environment after
the social crisis to the transformation of Orange into a leading
multi-service operator in Europe and Africa. Stephane will have
contributed significantly to the history of the Group in sometimes
tumultuous times and always working in the best interests of the
company.
The Board of Directors will continue the recruitment process
initiated a few months ago in order to appoint and implement the
new governance.
