The following nominees will be proposed for appointment to the General Meeting of shareholders of 30 May 2013 as Directors of the Company:

Michèle REMILLIEUX began her career in a number of IT services and consultancy companies and was CEO of Promatec from 1975 to 1987.

Michèle Remillieux will bring her wealth of experience in developing management talent and corporate efficiency drives to human resources management at Séchilienne Sidec and is being called upon to take over the chairmanship of the Nomination and Remunerations Committee, a position currently held by Myriam MAESTRONI.
- Daniel VALOT
Daniel VALOT, an honorary member of the French Court of Auditors, spent most of his career in the energy sector, first at Total (1981-1999), where he was head of the Exploration and Production Division, and then at Technip (a world leader in oil engineering), where he was CEO from 1999 to 2007. Mr. Valot has been invited to take over the chairmanship of the Audit, Accounts and Risks Committee, a position currently held by Mr. Jean STERN.
