During this Combined General Meeting, 815 shareholders took part in the votes on the ordinary resolutions and 817 in the votes on the extraordinary resolutions, representing more than 42.5 million shares and voting rights.
Compared to the total amount of shares with exercisable voting rights, i.e. more than 131 million shares, this represents 32.2% of the total number of shares.
All ordinary resolutions were largely approved. Among these resolutions: ▪ Approval of the 2023 statutory and consolidated financial statements
▪ Approval of the components of the remuneration paid during or awarded in respect of the financial year ended 31st December 2023 to Philippe Mellier, Hervé Milcent et Cédric Dugardin
