Press release

Convocation for the extraordinary general meeting of Gimv on July 31, 2024

Today Gimv published the convocation for the extraordinary general meeting to be held on July 31, 2024 at 10:30 a.m. at Gimv's registered office.

At the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of June 26, 2024, the required attendance quorum of 50% of the capital was not reached. Gimv therefore published today the notice convening a second EGM to be held on July 31, 2024 at Gimv's registered office. This EGM will be able to validly deliberate and decide regardless of the number of shares present or represented.

The agenda of this EGM concerns the amendment of the articles of association in function of the change in reference shareholding and subsequent update regarding governance, more specifically regarding 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 in each case a majority of independent directors).

All information relating to this EGM can be consulted on the Gimv website:
