Orange's
Board of Directors reaffirms its full confidence in Stéphane Richard
The Orange Group's Board of Directors
met on 17 June 2013 to hear Stéphane Richard present his situation concerning
the CDR-Tapie case and the Chairman of the Governance Committee on the potential
consequences of this situation regarding the governance of the Group. The Board
has decided to reassert its full confidence in Stéphane Richard and his
ability to effectively meet the numerous challenges facing Orange with the same
energy as ever in the best interests of the company, its employees, its customers
and its shareholders.
In particular, the Board considers that
the legal measures affecting Stéphane Richard do not impede his ability
to fully and effectively lead Orange as its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
The Board will continue to ensure this remains the case in the future and has
appointed Bernard Dufau, independent board member, to follow the situation.
