The combined Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Thales (Euronext Paris: HO) was held today in Paris.

The Board of Directors met before the AGM and acknowledged the resignation of Henri Proglio as a director. As a result, the projected evolution of the governance announced in December 2014, appointing Henri Proglio as Non-Executive Chairman and Patrice Caine as Chief Executive Officer, is not implemented.

Consequently, the Board decided to withdraw resolutions 18, 20, 23 and 24 from the AGM's agenda. All of the remaining resolutions submitted to a vote by the shareholders were approved.

The Board of Directors remains composed of 16 members (see attached appendix).

The AGM approved the 2014 financial statements as well as the payment of a dividend of €1.12 per share including the interim dividend of €0.34 already paid in December 2014. The payment will take place on 29 May 2015, the ex-date being 27 May 2015.

All results of the votes are available on the Investors section of the Thales website: www.thalesgroup.com..
