GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING AND BOARD MEETING OF JUNE 7, 2018: PIERRE-ANDRÉ
     DE CHALENDAR REAPPOINTED AS CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

The General Shareholders' Meeting of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain was held today
in Paris. The shareholders present or represented at the meeting held an
aggregate 58.89% of the outstanding shares. All the resolutions were adopted.

The Director's term of office of Mr. Pierre-André de Chalendar was renewed by
the General Shareholders' Meeting and the Board reappointed him as Chairman of
the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Compagnie de
Saint-Gobain, in line with its intention announced on November 23, 2017.

The General Shareholders' Meeting also ratified the co-optation of Ms.
Dominique Leroy who was appointed as an independent Director by the Board of
Directors on November 23, 2017.

Furthermore, the General Shareholders' Meeting approved the amendment to
Compagnie de Saint- Gobain's by-laws so that two Directors representing
employees be appointed to the Board of Directors irrespective of its size,
whereas under the by-laws previously in effect and according to the law, the
number of these representatives should have been reduced to one in view of the
reduction of the size of the Board of Directors.

After the departure of Mr. Alain Destrain and Mr. Pascal Laï, who left on the
expiry of their term of office as employee Directors and made a significant
contribution to the discussions and decisions of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain's
Board of Directors through their experience and judgement, Ms. Lydie Cortes
and Mr. Philippe Thibaudet join the Board of Directors as of today.

Finally, the General Shareholders' Meeting approved the payment of a dividend
of EUR1.30 per share (versus EUR1.26 for financial year 2016), to be paid
wholly in cash. The ex-dividend date will be June 11 and the dividend will be
paid as from June 13, 2018.

A webcast of the General Shareholders' Meeting and the results of the vote on
each resolution are already available on the Company's website
