Amsterdam - 30 June 2021
The Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Mr. Ulf Holländer, opened the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") at 10:00 a.m. CET and welcomed the shareholders, the other members of the Supervisory Board, the Management Board and the auditors of the Company. He noted that the meeting was held virtually under the Emergency Act given the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the governmental restrictive measures in place at the time of the AGM.
Before the Chairman addressed the agenda items, he went through a number of formalities for the AGM. He noted that:
The Chairman highlighted that shareholders were able to ask questions prior to the AGM and would also have the opportunity to ask questions during the AGM.
The Chairman then asked the Management Board, namely the CEO of the Company, Mr. Martin Vogt, and the nominated CFO, Mr. Stefan H.A. Meichsner, to present their report.
The CEO thanked the Chairman, the shareholders and the members of the Supervisory Board and highlighted the main events during the first sixth months of the year 2021. He mentioned that the total development pipeline of the Company had grown to over 600 MW. The CEO continued by saying that he expected a very busy second half of the year, with projects achieving greater maturity and construction for certain projects to begin during that period.
The CFO then looked back on the past financial year 2020 and also presented the cash development and position of the Company since the IPO in January. He pointed out that the Management Board expected capital deployment into projects to increase in the second half of the year. The report for the second quarter of 2021 will be published on 31 August 2021.
The Chairman thanked the Management Board for their report. He pointed out that no questions were submitted by shareholders prior to the AGM and that no further questions from shareholders were asked during the AGM.
The holders of 6,936,002 shares exercised their voting rights, representing 31.17% of the total share capital. The Chairman presented the voting results:
The Chairman proposes that the functional currency be changed to US-Dollars (USD).
The Company operates in a multinational environment and expects to generate most of its future income and cash in USD. USD is and will be the main currency used by us in our current and expected future business dealings. Other currencies used in our operations will be translated into USD as our functional currency in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS).
Adopting USD as the functional currency will help us streamline our internal and external reporting processes, reduce the number of necessary currency translations when preparing internal and external reports, and thereby allow us to report an accurate picture of the Company's performance without significant distortions from currency effects on the reported figures.
