George has served on Aptar’s Board since 2011 and has guided the Board as the Independent Chair over the past five years with his extensive expertise in pharmaceutical services, healthcare, packaging and medical devices. Given George’s wishes to dedicate more of his time to a private equity backed company he co-founded in 2022 and being cognizant of his board role at Prologis and other commitments, the Board, as part of its long-term succession plan, has elected Candace as its next Independent Chair.

Candace joined the Aptar Board of Directors in May of 2021. Candace is a highly accomplished business leader with over 35 years of global experience in the healthcare, cosmetics, food and beverage industries with companies such as Amway, L’Oréal, The Coca-Cola Company, Novartis (CIBA Vision Corporation), as well as Bausch + Lomb, Procter & Gamble and General Mills.

Candace also serves on the Board of Directors for MillerKnoll and Société BIC S.A., and was previously a director for Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen.

The information in this release is subject to the re-election of each of Candace Matthews and George Fotiades at Aptar’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders.
