Compagnie de Saint-Gobain's Board of Directors

co-opts Ms. Lina Ghotmeh, French-Lebanese architect,

Based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the
Board of Directors decided today to co-opt Ms. Lina Ghotmeh as an independent
director to replace Mr. Denis Ranque, who has resigned, for the remainder of
the latter's term of office, i.e., until the close of the Shareholders General
Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year 2022. This
cooptation, which takes effect today, will be submitted for ratification at
the Shareholders General Meeting on June 2, 2022. The Board of Directors would
like to thank Mr. Denis Ranque, who significantly contributed to the Board's
discussions and decisions throughout the years of his term of office based on
his experience and judgement.

 

Ms. Lina Ghotmeh, 42, is an internationally renowned architect. She leads her
own studio of architecture named "Lina Ghotmeh - Architecture" in Paris and
produces architectural designs in France and abroad with her multicultural
team. She has been honored with numerous awards, including the French Ministry
of Culture AJAP Prize 2008, the French Academy DEJEAN Prize 2016, the Grand
Prix Afex 2016, the Pierre Cardin Prize 2019 from the Paris Academy of Fine
Arts, and most recently, the 2020 Tamayouz "Woman of Outstanding Achievement"
Award and the Schelling Architecture Prize 2020. She has been nominated for
the Moira Gemmill English Prize. Her work is exhibited at the 17(th)
Architecture Biennale in Venice and is frequently published, notably in
Phaidon and RIBA books, or in the magazines AA, Domus and Architectural
Record. She holds teaching positions at Yale School of Architecture in the
United States, University of Toronto in Canada and she has taught at the Ecole
Spéciale d'Architecture. She has lectured in various institutions including
Columbia University in the United States, the Parsons School in France and the
Royal College of Art in the United Kingdom.

 

Her commitment to innovation for sustainable architecture, and her work on
