                  GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING, JUNE 3, 2021

The General Shareholders' Meeting of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain was held today,
again in closed session given the current health context. The shareholders
represented at the meeting held an aggregate 68.36% of the outstanding shares.
All resolutions were adopted.

In particular, this General Shareholders' Meeting appointed Benoit BAZIN,
future Chief Executive Officer as from July 1st, 2021, as a new Director.
Pierre-André de CHALENDAR will serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors as
from this date, in accordance with the decision of the Board of Directors of
February 25, 2021 to separate the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer.

In addition, the Directors' terms of office of Pamela KNAPP and Agnès
LEMARCHAND, Independent Directors, of Gilles SCHNEPP and of Sibylle DAUNIS as
Director representing employee shareholders, were renewed by the General
Shareholders' Meeting. Philippe VARIN, whose experience and judgement have
contributed significantly to the Board's debates and decisions, did not wish to
renew his term of office, in view of the age limit he would have reached during
his term of office if renewed, and leaves the Board today.

(including two Employee Directors and one Director representing employee
shareholders). In accordance with the law and the AFEP-MEDEF Corporate
