12 June 2006 - Appointments
VINCI’s Board of Directors, chaired by Yves-Thibault de Silguy, met on 12 June at corporate headquarters in Rueil Malmaison.
The Board defined the roles of Chairman (Yves-Thibault de Silguy) and Chief Executive Officer (Xavier Huillard) following the decision of 9 January 2006 to separate the two functions.
Following the appointment of Yves-Thibault de Silguy as Chairman of VINCI on 1 June, the Board voted unanimously to change the composition of its committees as follows:
Appointments Committee: Yves-Thibault de Silguy (Chairman), Bernard Huvelin, Henri Saint Olive
Remuneration Committee: Quentin Davies (Chairman), Dominique Bazy, Alain Dinin, Dominique Ferrero
Strategy and Investments Committee: Yves-Thibault de Silguy (Chairman), François David, Patrick Faure, Bernard Val, Denis Vernoux
Audit Committee: Dominique Bazy (Chairman), Quentin Davies, Alain Minc, Henri Saint Olive.
The Board also noted the termination of agreements signed with some of the Directors. This move, decided jointly with the Directors concerned, covered agreements that were established in full compliance with provisions in effect at the time.
Lastly, CEO Xavier Huillard confirmed that VINCI’s mid-year performance was following an excellent trend, as witnessed by.
- the order book for construction, roads and energy at the end of April amounted to €17.4 billion, up almost 17% year on year and 10% since 31 December 2005;
- higher than expected revenue growth in the concessions businesses – ASF, Cofiroute and VINCI Park – boosted by sustained traffic levels.
