Biographies

Composition of Supervisory Board members

Claude CARRERE : President of the Supervisory Board

Mr Carrere has been actively involved in all stages of the French audiovisual sector. His career can be summarised as follows: President of a multimedia group comprising :

• The disc industry. CARRERE Music, the premier independent French company known for its ability to create successes, with a turnover of 300 million francs and a market share of 12.5%, prestigious artists (Claude François, Dalida, Sheila, Sacha Distel, Boney M., La Compagnie Créole, Gérard Lenorman, Adamo, Pierre Perret, etc.), most of France’s and Europe’s independent producers, famous catalogues ("Fantasy" Premier Jazz Catalogue), international film scores (Amadeus, La Boum, etc.).
• Magazine shows (Hit Magazine, Podium, 30 Millions d'Amis, Girls, etc.).
• Literary publishing (turnover 100 million francs).
• Video (average turnover 90 million francs).
• Leader in entertainment programmes for several years: "Avis de Recherche", "Intervilles", "La Roue de la Fortune", "Tous à la Une", "Succès Fous", "La Une est à Vous", etc.

All these activities were sold for a high profit. In 1991, Claude Carrere sold his company CARRERE MUSIC to Time Warner Music and became its Vice President. Foreseeing the potential of television production when the networks were privatised, he created CARRERE GROUP, which quickly became the leader in prime time programmes and one of France’s biggest television production companies. Carrere Group is now a diversified audiovisual group.

For information, Claude Carrer has set up during his career :

• A financial company which made him a small fortune at the age of 22
• 43 ready-to-wear boutiques
• A cement trading company
• An American snack company for US airlines
• A large real estate company
• A leading company of electronic games for Atari
• A shipyard company

All these companies were sold for a very high profit.
