The General Meeting is the Company’s supreme governing body. The Supervisory Board believes that it is important that shareholders receive detailed information and are provided with an adequate basis for the decisions made at the General Meeting.
Notice of a General Meeting is published at least three weeks prior to the meeting and is sent to all shareholders who have provided an e-mail address or have requested to be notified of General Meetings by ordinary mail.

Any shareholder is also entitled to put forward proposals for consideration at the Annual General Meeting to the Supervisory Board no later than six weeks before the date of the meeting. Any shareholder who has the right to attend the General Meeting may give proxy to the Supervisory Board or to somebody else attending the General Meeting for each individual item on the agenda or vote by letter as set out in the notice of the General Meeting.
Minutes of the General Meeting will be available on the Company’s website no later than two weeks after the meeting.
