Message from Jean-Paul Agon, Chairman and CEO of L'Oréal Group

I have just learned with great sadness the passing of Mrs Liliane Bettencourt, daughter of Eugène Schueller, founder of the L'Oréal Group.

All of L'Oréal's employees join me in expressing our most sincere condolences and affectionate thoughts in these sad moments to Mrs. Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, Mr. Jean-Pierre Meyers, and their two sons Jean-Victor and Nicolas.

We all had a great admiration for Liliane Bettencourt who always looked after L'Oréal, the company and its employees, and was very attached to its success and development.

She has personally contributed greatly to its success for many years.
Mrs Liliane Bettencourt was a great lady of beauty who has left us and whom we will never forget.

Jean-Paul Agon
