Jean Monty, Louis Hughes, Olivier Piou, Stuart Eizenstat, Kim Crawford Goodman and Francesco Caio have resigned and Risto Siilasmaa, Rajeev Suri, Timo Ihamuotila, Maria Varsellona and Samih Elhage have been coopted to the Board, subject to ratification by the shareholders of Alcatel-Lucent at the next shareholders’ general meeting.
