Changes to the Board of Directors
. Louis Bourrousse co-opted as Chairman of the Board of Directors, replacing François de Varenne
. Change of SCOR SE representative: Carole de Rozières replaces Karina Lelièvre
Paris, 12 December 2023: MRM (Euronext code ISIN FR00140085W6), a real estate investment company specialising in retail property, today announced that at its meeting of 12 December 2023, the Board of Directors noted the resignation of its Chairman François de Varenne as Board member and decided to co-opt Louis Bourrousse as his replacement, as well as to appoint Louis Bourrousse as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
François de Varenne had been a Board member and Chairman of the Board of Directors of MRM since the company’s recapitalisation, in which SCOR SE became MRM’s majority shareholder (1) in 2013. His duties at SCOR have since been extended. Having served as acting Chief Executive Officer of SCOR at the start of the year, he was appointed Chief Financial Officer and Deputy Chief Executive Officer of SCOR in late May.
He is replaced by Louis Bourrousse, who in November was appointed Chief Executive Officer of SCOR Investment Partners, the SCOR Group’s asset management company. This decision appeared to be a way of ensuring continuity on MRM’s Board of Directors, with the desire to continue to have a Board member connected to SCOR SE, MRM’s majority shareholder, as Chairman. Louis Bourrousse is also now Chairman of the Investment Committee. The ratification of his appointment as Board member will be on the agenda for the next general meeting.
At the same meeting on 12 December 2023, the Board also noted that Carole de Rozières has replaced Karina Lelièvre as permanent representative of SCOR SE. Karina Lelièvre, Deputy General Secretary of SCOR SE, had represented SCOR SE on MRM’s Board of Directors since 2013. Carole de Rozières is Chief Asset Owner Officer at the SCOR Group.
The Board extended its sincere thanks to François de Varenne and Karina Lelièvre for their active and meaningful contribution to the Board’s work and their unfailing commitment to MRM’s governance over the last 10 years.
As a result of the changes made during the meeting, the composition of MRM’s Board of Directors is now as follows:
- Louis Bourrousse, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Board member;
- SCOR SE, Board member, represented by Carole de Rozières;
- Altarea, Board member, represented by Rodrigo Clare;
- Brigitte Gauthier-Darcet, Board member;
- Valérie Ohannessian, independent Board member; and
- Karine Trébaticky, Board member.
