Argan Restructures Its Supervisory Board with the Arrival of Laurence Batlle
The real estate company Argan announces the appointment of Laurence Batlle as an independent member of the supervisory board, replacing Jean-Claude Le Lan Junior. This change follows the loss of independent status by Eric Donnet, who signed an employment contract with the company.
During the supervisory board session on December 9, 2025, it was noted that Eric Donnet no longer met the independence criteria of the Middlenext corporate governance code, according to the statement. This situation stems from an employment contract signed between him and Argan effective January 2, 2026. In this context, Jean-Claude Le Lan Junior resigned effective December 31, 2025, to allow the company to maintain the required quota of independent members. On the recommendation of the nomination and compensation committee, the board unanimously appointed Laurence Batlle as an independent member effective January 1, 2026, for the remaining duration of her predecessor's term, until the general meeting scheduled for March 26, 2026.
