Report of the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting
Press release
Report of the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting
Today Gimv held its Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM). 40.14% of the shares were represented (11,486,596 shares). The EGM approved the proposed nomination rights of WorxInvest and the statutory anchoring of the principle that a majority of the board of directors and the advisory committees should consist of independent
directors.
At the EGM of June 26, 2024, the required attendance quorum of 50% of the capital was not reached. Consequently, a second EGM took place earlier today which could validly deliberate and decide regardless of the number of shares present or represented.
The EGM approved the proposed amendment to the articles of association in function of the change in reference shareholding and subsequent update on governance, more specifically with respect to the composition of the board of directors (1/3 of the total number of directors nominated by WorxInvest and at least a majority of independent directors) and advisory committees (minimum two members in each committee nominated by WorxInvest and a majority of independent directors in each case).
A coordinated version of the amended articles of association will be published shortly on the
Corporate Governance page of Gimv's website: https://www.gimv.com/en/corporategovernance.
