Kering - Press Release - Changes in the membership of the Board of Directors - 2026 04 21 CHANGES IN THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF KERING The Board of Directors of Kering, on the recommendation of the Appointments and Governance Committee, will propose the appointment of two independent directors at the Annual General Meeting on May 28, 2026: Marie-Hélène Chenut and Laurent Kleitman. In addition, Jean-Pierre Denis submitted his resignation from his position as Director, effective at the end of the Annual General Meeting on May 28, 2026. Chairman of the Audit Committee from 2012 to 2020, then Vice-Chairman of this Committee and a member of the Remuneration and Sustainability Committees, Jean-Pierre Denis has been a Director of Kering since June 9, 2008. He has also served as Climate Change Lead since 2022. François-Henri Pinault, Chairman of the Board of Directors, stated: “On my own behalf and on behalf of all the Directors, I would like to warmly thank Jean-Pierre Denis for his involvement throughout his many years on the Board and for his major contribution to its work. For nearly eighteen years, he has supported us with unwavering rigor and high standards, particularly in his role as Chairman of the Audit Committee. He was also a pioneer through his commitment to sustainability, helping at a very early stage to place these issues at the heart of our thinking. His dedication to Kering has been a valuable support for my family and myself, for which we are deeply grateful.” Therefore, if the Annual General Meeting of May 28, 2026 approves the resolutions concerning the composition of the Board of Directors, taking into account the expiry of terms of office of Maureen Chiquet and Yonca Dervisoglu at the end of the Annual General Meeting on May 28, 2026, the Board of Directors of Kering would comprise 13 members with 64% of independent directors, 45% of women and 5 different nationalities.
