Hervé Milcent appointed Chief Executive Officer of Solocal

Following a selection process conducted over the past few months, the Board of
Directors of Solocal has decided to appoint Hervé Milcent as CEO of Solocal as
of April 6th, 2021. From this date, Solocal will return to a dissociated
governance, with Pierre Danon again becoming Chairman of the Board of
Directors.

Herve Milcent's experience of successful transformations and strong growth, his
attention to operational excellence, his customer focus and innovation and his
recognized managerial qualities, will fully contribute to Solocal's challenges
of continuing to improve customer satisfaction and accelerating the deployment
of new services in order to return to a sustainable growth dynamic.

"We are very pleased to welcome Hervé Milcent to Solocal. I am convinced that
Hervé has all the qualities that Solocal needs to fully reveal its potential
and the relevance of the model built over the past few years. He can count on
the commitment of all Solocal employees" says Pierre Danon, Chairman of
Solocal's Board of Directors.

"I am honored and very enthusiastic to join the Solocal Group. Beyond its size
and history, I am convinced that Solocal has the assets and know-how which are
essential to its development and its indisputable leadership in the market. I
would like to thank Pierre Danon and the Board of Directors for their
confidence in me. "said Hervé Milcent.

With a master degree in Business Law, Hervé Milcent began his career with the
newly created Chronopost in the "operations" teams. He quickly became Director
of Operations at Dynapost and then at Médiapost, where he launched and
developed geomarketing and targeted distribution solutions, thus acquiring a
great mastery of local communication issues.

In 1998, Hervé Milcent joined the Arvato Group (Bertelsmann Group) as Managing
Director in charge of operations for the Direct Marketing division, which
became the French leader under his leadership. On the strength of this success,
driven by the rich portfolio of services launched in France, including
subscriptions, Hervé Milcent extended his responsibilities to Southern Europe,
before being promoted to the Group's Executive Committee to steer the
deployment of the "Group CRM Global" solution.

In 2014, after more than 16 years within the Arvato Group dedicated to the
development and deployment of enterprise services, Hervé Milcent is appointed
CEO of the Lyreco Group. He will implement a category-based marketing strategy,
reposition the Group's offering to accelerate growth and lead the overhaul of
the technical and IT infrastructures essential to the company's "Phygital"
transformation. In 2020, he joined the Teleperformance Group as Managing
Director for France, Italy and Germany.

The Board of Directors warmly thanks Pierre Danon for his daily commitment in
assuming the role of Chief Executive Officer during this transition phase and
the transformations carried out during this period.
