Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Constellium SE reported the results of its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on May 21, 2026. Shareholders confirmed the appointment of Ingrid Joerg and the re-appointment of John Ormerod to the Board for new three-year terms.

Investors approved, on an advisory basis, the 2025 compensation of named executive officers and strongly supported holding an advisory (non-binding) vote on executive pay every year, rather than every two or three years. The statutory and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 were approved with very high support, and directors, the CEO and statutory auditors received discharge for their 2025 duties.

Shareholders also authorized the Board to repurchase the Company’s shares and to reduce share capital by canceling repurchased shares under relevant provisions of the French Commercial Code, and approved the aggregate maximum amount of directors’ annual fixed fees and related formalities powers.

broker non-votes regulatory
"For the purposes of French law, broker non-votes are treated as abstentions."
Broker non-votes occur when a brokerage firm is unable to vote on a shareholder’s behalf during a company election or decision because the shareholder has not given specific voting instructions, and the broker is not allowed or chooses not to vote on certain matters. They are important because they can affect the outcome of votes, especially when the results are close, by effectively reducing the total number of votes cast.
discharge (quitus) regulatory
"Discharge (quitus) of the directors, the Chief Executive Officer, and the Statutory Auditors of the Company"
French Commercial Code regulatory
"in accordance with article L. 225-209-2 of the French Commercial Code"
The French Commercial Code is the national rulebook that sets the legal framework for business activity in France, covering company formation and governance, commercial contracts, trade practices, bankruptcy procedures and the role of commercial courts. For investors, it matters because these rules determine how companies are structured, how contracts and disputes are handled, and how creditor and shareholder rights are protected — like an operating manual that shapes business risk and legal recourse.
statutory financial statements financial
"Approval of the statutory financial statements and transactions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025"
Statutory financial statements are the formal, legally required reports a company must prepare and file with regulators that show its financial position, performance and cash flows. Think of them as an official report card prepared according to fixed rules and often reviewed by an independent auditor; they matter to investors because they provide a consistent, comparable and legally verifiable basis for assessing a company’s health, compliance and financial risks.
consolidated financial statements financial
"Approval of the consolidated financial statements and transactions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025"
Consolidated financial statements combine the financial results of a parent company and all the companies it controls into one set of reports, like showing the whole family’s budget instead of each person’s separate accounts. For investors this matters because it gives a complete picture of assets, debts, revenue and cash flow across the entire group, helping assess true size, risk and profitability without missing or double-counting related activity.

Item 5.07
Submissions of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
Constellium SE (the “Company”) held its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on May 21, 2026. The proposals
for the appointment of Ingrid Joerg and the re-appointment of John Ormerod to the Company’s Board of Directors
for a period of three years following the Annual General Meeting, passed.
The Company’s shareholders approved, on an advisory basis, “one year” as the frequency for holding an advisory
(non-binding) vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. In light of such vote, the
Company has determined to hold the advisory (non-binding) vote on the compensation of the Company’s named
executive officers every year. The results for the remainder of the proposals are as set forth below.
* For the purposes of French law, broker non-votes are treated as abstentions. Therefore, in terms of the voting
results, broker non-votes, like other abstentions, were not counted as a vote cast on the applicable proposal.
