On August 27, 2020, Jean-Baptiste Rudelle notified the board of directors (the "Board") of Criteo S.A. (the "Company") of his decision to resign as a member of the Board, effective immediately.

As previously disclosed, Mr. Rudelle is party to a non-compete agreement with the Company, dated August 2, 2013 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 2, 2013. The Company has elected to waive the non-competition requirements under that agreement in connection with Mr. Rudelle’s departure.
Also on August 27, 2020, the Board appointed Megan Clarken, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to fill the vacancy on the Board arising as a result of Mr. Rudelle’s resignation, effective immediately.
