    Paris, June 13, 2023 – The Atos Board of Directors is surprised by Mr. Leo Apotheker’s comments, violently criticizing its functioning all the while validating the Group’s strategy as well as the quality of its management, two essential prerogatives of the Board, chaired by Mr. Bertrand Meunier.

    These attacks are only designed to destabilize a group mobilized to execute its turnaround and implement its strategy to create value for all its stakeholders, while Mr. Leo Apotheker and Mr. Cyril Charlot know nothing about the effective functioning of the Atos’ governance.

    Liz Tinkham, Lead Independent Director, stated: "The Board of Directors is pleased with the transformation currently taking place at Atos.  We are trending in the right direction but still have much work to do to realize the full plan.  A change in Board leadership at this time would be highly destabilizing for the Group.”

    Nourdine Bihmane, Diane Galbe and Philippe Oliva, in charge of the Group's operational management and transformation, declared: "Thanks to the outstanding mobilization of its 110,000 employees, Atos’ turnaround is ahead of schedule and its success depends on the Group’s stability".
