Virbac has announced the supervisory board's intention to appoint Sébastien Huron as chairman of Virbac's executive board, as of next December, when the mandate of the current chairman of the executive board, Éric Marée, expires. At its annual shareholders' meeting held on June 23, Virbac announced that Éric Marée, chairman of the executive board for the past 17 years, has informed the supervisory board of his wish not to serve another term once the current term ends on December 20, 2017 and is therefore retiring. Marie-Hélène Dick, chairwoman of the supervisory board, revealed the intention of the board, which met on June 22, to appoint Sébastien Huron chairman of the executive board once the current tenure of the executive board ends. Until then, Éric Marée, Sébastien Huron and the other members of the executive board will work closely together to prepare for this transition.
