Annual General Meeting of JCDecaux SA on May 12, 2004

The combined Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meeting of JCDecaux SA (JCDecaux, Paris: DEC) was convened on May 12, 2004.

This annual general meeting provided an opportunity to highlight the developments in innovation and international growth enjoyed by the JCDecaux Group over the past 40 years. Three major products have been responsible for the Group’s success since 1964: bus shelters (80,400 installed in 30 countries), free-standing information panels (77,000 in 34 different countries) and automatic outdoor toilets that, to date, have recorded a total of 250 million visits.

Jean-Claude Decaux, Group founder and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of JCDecaux SA, said: “This General Meeting allowed us to review the principal milestones in the life of this company I founded in 1964 on the idea of bus shelters financed by advertising. Since then, the concept of street furniture has continued to spread around the world: we are now present in 43 different countries and in 3,500 cities. Street furniture has also become extremely high-tech with Internet terminals, friendly to the natural environment with Smart Bikes, and dedicated to pedestrian safety with Double Infoâ. The very origins of JCDecaux are rooted in innovation, and this specific know-how is the best response we shall continue to bring to the needs of our partners around the world.”

At the end of this meeting, the Supervisory Board appointed Jean-Charles Decaux Chairman of the Executive Board and Jean-François Decaux Chief Executive Officer. Jean-Charles Decaux and Jean-François Decaux who, in their dealings with the market, use the title of co-Chief Executive Officer of the JCDecaux Group, take turns as Chairman of the Executive Board of JCDecaux SA, serving in this position for alternate periods of one year.
