Sophie Brochu elected to the Board as an independent director

MONTREAL, Aug. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ – (NYSE: CAE) (TSX: CAE) CAE is pleased to announce the election of Ms. Sophie Brochu as independent director, effective today. Ms. Brochu will bring significant experience to the Board in such vital areas as strategic leadership and management, government relations, human resources, executive compensation and sustainability, among others.

“The election of Ms. Brochu, one of Canada’s most accomplished business executives, reflects CAE’s commitment to Board renewal and to bringing exceptional expertise and diverse perspectives to the Board,” said CAE’s Chair, Alan N. MacGibbon.

From 2020 to April 2023, Ms. Brochu was President and Chief Executive Officer of Hydro-Québec, one of the world’s largest hydropower utilities. She was also President and Chief Executive Officer of Montreal-based Énergir from 2007 to 2019.

Ms. Brochu was elected as a director by the shareholders of the company at CAE’s Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on August 9, 2023. CAE maintained the number of its directors unchanged at 13, as the Honourable Michael Fortier did not stand for re-election after 13 years on the Board, in line with the company’s term limits policy.
