Jean-Marie SANTANDER, President & CEO of GEP, declares: « I am very pleased to be able to count on a team of shareholders, all company managers, and on the Strategic and Investment Committees to support the Group's development. I am convinced that these new skills will enhance the Group's performance and create value for all shareholders. »

Since the General Meeting of December 10, 2018, the Board of Directors now includes the following members:

• Jean-Marie SANTANDER, Chairman
• Philippe DESTENBERT, Vice-Chairman
• Barbara BRÜL-DAY
• Brigitte NOBRE
• Danièle SAMAILLE
• Richard FINDYKIAN

The new Board of Directors has decided, on the proposal of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, to create two committees with an advisory role:

• Philippe DESTENBERT, Chairman of the Strategic Committee
• Pierre BERTHE
• Pierre-Yves BERTHE

The Board of Directors has also decided to set up a Remuneration Committee, which will include the following members:

These changes are the basis for the new development of the Global EcoPower Group and will allow it to pursue the strategy initiated in the cultivation of spirulina and the extraction of phycocyanin for nutraceutical use. The market for phycocyanin for nutraceutical use is mainly driven by its potential beneficial effects on health and by consumer interest in natural remedies.

Global EcoPower is currently building a positive energy ecological complex, with total self-consumption of electricity and heat, which will produce 50 to 70 tons of spirulina in the Vallée de l'Hers (Payra-sur-l'Hers – department of Aude).

As a reminder, spirulina consumption is 250 tons in France, the local production being only about 40 tons.
