The Board of Directors of Essilor International (Compagnie Générale d’Optique) has announced two changes in its composition:
- Henrietta Fore has announced her resignation from the Essilor Board of Directors after being appointed Executive Director of UNICEF on January 1, 2018.
The members of the Board of Directors congratulated Mrs. Fore on her new appointment and thanked her warmly for her very important contribution to the Board’s work over the past two years.
- Yi He, Director representing the employee shareholders through the Valoptec Association, has also announced that he will resign from the Essilor Board of Directors following the end of his term as a Board director of the Valoptec Association.
Given that the combination with Luxottica is under way, the Essilor Board of Directors did not feel this was an appropriate time to appoint two new members to succeed them.
As Henrietta Fore had been nominated to the Board of Directors of the future EssilorLuxottica, a new female director will be nominated in the near future and that appointment will be submitted for approval to Essilor’s next General Shareholders’ Meeting.
