The Combined Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain was held in Paris on Thursday, June 5, 2008. Shareholders present at the meeting accounted for 66.55% of the company's share capital.

At this meeting, the shareholders renewed the terms of office as Director of Jean-Louis Beffa, Isabelle Bouillot and Sylvia Jay.

Accordingly, the Shareholders' Meeting appointed Jean-Bernard Lafonta as Director to replace José-Luis Leal Maldonado, as well as Bernard Gautier as a new Director. The maximum number of Directors comprising the Board was also increased from 15 to 16.

The Shareholders' Meeting also approved payment of a dividend of €2.05 per share, representing a rise of 20.6% on the dividend paid in respect of 2006. The dividend will be paid in full, in cash, on Thursday, June 19, 2008.
