APPOINTMENT AT SOLVAY'S TOP IN 2012
The Board of Directors of Solvay SA announces today that upon proposal of
Christian Jourquin, Solvay's CEO, his mandates as Chairman of the Executive
Committee and as member of the Board of Directors will end on 10 May 2012.
As announced previously, Jean-Pierre Clamadieu, Deputy CEO of Solvay, will
succeed Christian Jourquin upon the latter's retirement. In this context, Jean-
Pierre Clamadieu will be proposed for appointment to the Board of Directors of
Solvay at the annual shareholders meeting on May 8(th), 2012.
Christian Jourquin's decision is motivated by the progress achieved in the
integration of Rhodia into the Solvay group that was launched after the
successful completion of Solvay's acquisition of Rhodia on September
16(th), 2011. "I'm extremely pleased with the tempo of the integration and the
fact that the assumptions considered at the time of the offer will be confirmed.
The promises of success for the new Group are remarkable and I'm convinced that
Jean-Pierre Clamadieu will make them come through in the best interest of all
stakeholders", said Christian Jourquin.
SOLVAY is an international chemical Group committed to sustainable development
with a clear focus on innovation and operational excellence. Its recent
