AGM

According to Article 15 of the Articles, the annual general meeting of shareholders is held on 15 May in each year (or where such day is a legal holiday on the next following business day). All other general shareholders meetings are deemed to be extraordinary shareholders meetings. The extraordinary shareholders meetings can be convened by the Board on dates other than the annual shareholders meeting as often as the Board deems necessary, and/or determined by business needs. In addition, one or more shareholders jointly holding at least five percent of the share capital may request that a general shareholders meeting be convened.
