The General Meeting of Shareholders of bioMérieux held on May 28, 2014, approved the appointment of two new independent directors, Agnès Lemarchand and Philippe Gillet. Agnès Lemarchand and Philippe Gillet were appointed to replace Georges Hibon and Michel Angé, who did not wish to renew their terms of office as directors. The new Board of Directors of bioMérieux will thus be comprised of Jean-Luc Belingard (Chairman), Alain Mérieux, Alexandre Mérieux, Philippe Archinard, and five independent directors: Harold Boël, Philippe Gillet, Marie-Hélène Habert, Agnès Lemarchand and Michele Palladino.

The General Meeting of Shareholders moreover approved the appointment of Michel Angé and Henri Thomasson as non-voting directors (censeurs). Michel Angé was previously a director, and Henri Thomasson was formerly Chief Financial Officer of bioMérieux. Agnès Lemarchand has served as Chief Executive Officer of Industrie Biologique Française (a joint venture between the Rhône-Poulenc group and Institut Mérieux), Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Prodical (a subsidiary of the Ciments Français group), and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Lafarge group's lime business.

Philippe Gillet was a professor of geophysics at the University of Rennes prior to becoming Director of l'Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, where he was also a professor of Earth Sciences. In addition, from May 2007 to April 2010 he served as Chief of Staff for the French Minister of Higher Education and Research.
