Philippe Camus (60) is co-managing partner of the Lagardère Group and Senior
Managing Director of Evercore Partners.

He began his career in 1972 in the Finance Department of the Caisse des Dépots et
Consignations. After being Financial Analyst and Portfolio Manager, he was
appointed Head of the Fixed Income Directorate in 1976. Under his leadership the
Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations improved its operating efficiency on the bond
market generating higher profit and modernizing the French bond market. He
joined the Lagardère Group in 1992 and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of
Banque Arjil until 1993. He was appointed Managing Director of the Lagardère
Group in 1993 and is co-managing partner of Lagardère SCA since 1998.

As managing Director of Lagardère, he managed the restructuring of the Matra
Group (Aerospace and High technology) by implementing a tight financial and
reporting governance structure and by divesting units to focus the activities on the
core business. He personally managed every acquisition, merger, partnership or
divestiture realized by Matra from 1982 until 1998. Starting in 1986, he engineered
the transformation of Matra and Hachette into an integrated company, thus
founding the Lagardère Group. As part of this, he managed the rescue of the
Hachette Group after the bankruptcy of one of its ventures in television
broadcasting (La Cinq).

His expertise in international negotiations and management, led him to conduct
and oversee the work bringing about the creation of EADS, the 2nd largest
aerospace company worldwide.

First named Chief Operating Officer, then Chief Executive Officer of Aérospatiale ­
Matra in 1999, he was Chief Executive Officer of EADS from 2000 until 2005.

markets from 1996 to 2001. He is a board member of the Institut d'Expertise et de
Prospective of the Ecole Normale Supérieure and has been President of GIFAS
(French Aerospace Industries Association) from 2001 to 2005. He is director of

and in May 2004, he was awarded the Cross of the German Merit Order
(Verdienstkreuz ­ 1 Klasse).
