Board Membership Changes Announced
Xavier Musca and Frédéric Oudéa have expressed their desire not to stand for re-election to their positions.

The co-option of Lila Tretikov, decided on January 5, 2026, to replace Megan Clarken, will be submitted for ratification at the General Assembly.
Post-General Assembly Board Structure
Following the General Assembly on May 20, 2026, subject to the approval of the resolutions, the Board of Directors will consist of 15 directors, including two representing employees and one representing shareholder employees. The board will have 83% independent directors, 40% of directors with international profiles, and 50% women.

Patrick Pouyanné will be appointed Lead Director following the General Assembly. Starting May 20, 2026, Capgemini will comply with the provisions of Ordinance No. 2024-934, transposing the 'Women on Boards' directive, which will be regulatory applicable from January 1, 2027.
