Convocation for an extraordinary general meeting of Gimv on May 26, 2025
Gimv is today publishing the notice convening an extraordinary general meeting to be held on May 26, 2025, at 10 a.m. at Gimv's registered office.
Gimv NV (the "Company") invites its shareholders to an extraordinary general meeting ("EGM") to be held on May 26, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. at the Company's registered office.
Shareholders are invited to approve the renewal of the authorisations for the authorised capital and the acquisition of own securities for a new five-year period.
Gimv further wishes to change the timing of the financial year. The current financial year starts on April 1st and ends on March 31st. It is proposed to the shareholders that the financial year starts on January 1st and ends on December 31st . In doing so, Gimv wishes to align itself with the financial calendars of most companies listed on Euronext Brussels. For the current financial year, this means that it will be a shortened financial year of nine months, ending on December 31, 2025.
The agenda of the EGM also includes a proposal to amend the provision in the articles of association regarding the composition of the board of directors. In view of a possible decrease in the number of directors from 2026 onwards, the provision stating that independent directors will always be in the majority needs to be amended. The new provision nevertheless guarantees that there will always be more independent directors than directors appointed on the recommendation of WorxInvest.
Finally, the agenda of the EGM includes an adjustment regarding the advisory committees, given the decision to merge the remuneration committee and the nomination committee into one committee as from now on.
This EGM on May 26, 2025 will in all likelihood not reach the required attendance quorum and will therefore not be able to validly deliberate and decide on the proposed agenda. In that case, a new notice will be published with the same agenda for an extraordinary general meeting to be held after the ordinary general meeting of June 25, 2025, which will be able to validly deliberate and decide regardless of the number of shares present or represented.
The convocation for this EGM will be published on Gimv's website in the course of the morning: https://www.gimv.com/en/investors/sharehold er-meetings
