Shareholders of the Company voted in favor of all resolutions proposed in the AGM and in the EGM.
Among the resolutions presented, shareholders approved several appointments to the Group’s Board of Directors, all for a term of four years. This included the re-appointments of Regina SARL, with Regi Aalstad as permanent representative, as independent director, and Michael Bredael as non-executive director. Approval was given to confirm the co-optation of Frédéric Larmuseau as independent director, as well Mr Larmuseau’s re-appointment such that his term will also be for four years. Furthermore, shareholders approved the appointments of six proposed new Board Directors to strengthen and diversify the Board significantly – as proposed in April 2021.
