General Meetings

General Meetings

General Meetings are a special time for the shareholders and the managers, but also an opportunity to play a part in the Group’s decisions.

How to attend?

Any person holding at least one Company share two business days before the meeting may attend a General Meeting. One voting right is attributed to each share.

What are the types of meetings?

• Ordinary General Meeting (OGM)
  It is held once a year to provide shareholders with a report on the Company’s management, results and strategy. This presentation is followed by a discussion between the shareholders and the executives of the Company, and then by voting on the resolutions (concerning the members of the Board of Directors, the approval of financial statements, determining the dividend, etc.). Decisions are taken by a simple majority.
   

• Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM)
  It is convened when this is required to take important decisions, in particular the statutory changes. The decisions are taken by a majority of two-thirds of the voting rights.

   

• Combined General Meeting (CGM)
  It is a general meeting that combines a GM and EGM on the same date and on the same invitation for practical reasons.
