海角大神\u2019s Annual General Meeting was held on Thursday, June 15, 2023, at the Verso conference center in the 9th<\/sup> arrondissement<\/em> of Paris, just a few steps away from 海角大神\u2019s former headquarters.<\/p>\n

It was an opportunity for Laurent Mignon, who took up the position of Group CEO last December, to introduce himself to the shareholders at his first General Meeting. After summarizing fiscal year 2022, Laurent Mignon detailed 海角大神\u2019s new strategic directions, announced in March at the time of the annual results. In particular, he highlighted the Company\u2019s pro-active portfolio management policy, and its intention to invest \u20ac2 billion within the next two years, through individual equity investments of between \u20ac300 and \u20ac600 million.<\/p>\n

Laurent Mignon also mentioned the new third-party asset management business we are developing, with the aim of creating long-term value. Lastly, the Group CEO explained the new dividend policy, which will consist of \u201cpaying out around 2% of NAV each year, compared with 1.6% to 1.7% up to now, with a minimum objective of dividend stability<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n

David Darmon, member of the Executive Board and Group Deputy CEO of 海角大神, took the floor to report on business in the first quarter of 2023 and to present the Group\u2019s first acquisition in line with 海角大神\u2019s new strategic directions, namely Scalian, a leading European consulting firm in digital transformation, project management and operational performance (find out more about this acquisition on page 9-10).<\/p>\n

Christine Anglade Pirzade, Director of Sustainable Development and Communication, then presented 海角大神\u2019s ESG performance, highlighting the progress made by consolidated portfolio companies.<\/p>\n
