The Board of Directors of Eramet, meeting on Sunday, February 1st, has decided to terminate the mandate of Mr. Paulo Castellari as Chief Executive Officer, due to divergences on operating methods. The termination of his mandate as Chief Executive Officer takes effect this evening.
The Board of Directors has appointed its Chairwoman, Ms. Christel Bories, as Chief Executive Officer of the Group on an interim basis, pending the completion of a process to select a new Chief Executive Officer. Upon the appointment of the new CEO, the roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer will once again be separated.
The Board of Directors thanks Paulo Castellari for his efforts and reaffirms its support for the teams, who remain strongly committed to improving safety, operational performance and cost-reduction efforts. These priorities continue to be key in a challenging environment. Eramet operates a portfolio of world-class assets, particularly well positioned to support the energy transition. The successful ramp-up of the lithium site in Argentina provides the Group with a new pillar of growth and performance.
The publication of the Group’s annual results remains scheduled on February 18th, 2026.
