Information about the governance and the operational management of NATUREX

Avignon, 11 June 2012 - NATUREX, world leader in specialty plant-based ingredients, is informing its shareholders of the decision of the Board of Directors meeting on 8 June 2012, held after the General Meeting, about its governance and the operational management of the Group.

By decision of the shareholders of NATUREX gathered at the Joint Shareholders' Meeting on 8 June 2012, Mr Jacques DIKANSKY and Mr Thierry LAMBERT were re-appointed in their mandate as directors of the Company, for a term of 6 years, i.e. until the Shareholders' Meeting called to vote on the financial statements for the period ending 31 December 2017. The Board of Directors is moreover comprised of Paul and Olivier LIPPENS, independent directors and directors of FINASUCRE, Stéphane DUCROUX, Vice-President of NATUREX Inc., and Jacqueline DIKANSKY.

The Board of Directors of NATUREX confirmed the re-election of Mr Jacques DIKANSKY as Chairman for the term of his mandate as director. However, as the current state of his health does not allow him to fulfil this function, the effective chairing of the Board of Directors is delegated to Mr Thierry LAMBERT, in his capacity as Vice-President; Mr LAMBERT is also appointed to the functions of CEO of NATUREX.

The Board of Directors stipulated that if the health of Mr Jacques DIKANSKY were to allow him, he will again be entrusted with the General Management of the Company, Mr Thierry LAMBERT would then return to his function as Deputy CEO.

From an operational standpoint, a Management Committee has been set up, bringing together experienced managing executives in charge of the Group's main operational functions, and who for the most part have been working within NATUREX for many years.
