Strategic Committee
Status: June 2009
The Strategic Committee was created in October 2007. It is not a decision making body but a resource available to the Board of Directors for the preparation of decisions on strategic matters.
Pursuant to the Rules, the Strategic Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding strategic developments, corporate strategies, major merger and acquisition projects, major investments, projects or product decisions or divestments, as well as major research and development projects.
During 2008, the Strategic Committee was chaired by Rüdiger Grube, and also included Louis Gallois, Arnaud Lagardère, Michel Pébereau and Bodo Uebber as members. Following Mr Uebber’s appointment as Chairman of EADS on 14 April 2009, the Strategic Committee is currently chaired by Bodo Uebber, and also includes Louis Gallois, Arnaud Lagardère and Michel Pébereau as members.
In addition, the Board of Directors has decided to propose Mr Wilfried Porth as an additional member with effect from the Annual General Meeting of shareholders to be held on 27 May 2009.
The Strategic Committee meets twice a year, or more frequently according to need. It met four times during 2008. In addition to approving the Strategic Committee Charter, the Strategic Committee monitored the implementation of the EADS Vision 2020, screened the share price developments, made recommendations to the Board on merger and acquisition projects and reviewed the Power8+ programme and the European consolidation process.
