Board of Directors
Thales is a société anonyme (French public limited company) with a Board of Directors. The composition of the Board is governed by the shareholders’ agreement between its two main shareholders: the public sector (French state) and the industrial partner (Dassault Aviation).
This shareholders’ agreement, described in the 2024 Universal Registration Document, page 241 and subs, stipulates that the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is chosen by mutual agreement, that a representative of each of the two shareholders signatory to the agreement sits on each specialised committee, and that the Board has four “external directors”. These have been declared independent by the Board of Directors within the meaning of the Afep-Medef Code.
The biographies of the Thales Board members are available on the 2024 Universal Registration Document, pages 91 and subs.
