Changes at the top for Hispasat

Hispasat has announced changes to the composition of its board of directors following the completion of the sale of Eutelsat’s stake in the company.
As a result of the sale, Eutelsat’s representatives – Rodolphe Belmer, Michel Azibert, Ariane Rossi, Almudena Arpon de Mendívil and Edouard Silverio – have left the board.
The new board members nominated to represent Abertis are Aristoteles Aunon, Martí Carbonell, Jose Luis Viejo, Laura Grau and Sebastian Morales.
Furthermore, a new board member, Marta Casas, has also been added to represent Abertis and to replace Francisco Reynes, who resigned on February 6 after leaving his position as head of Abertis.
Hispasat is now 89.68% owned by Abertis, with Sepi holding the remaining 7.41% and CDTI 2.91% of its shares.
