(« EURO » or the « Company ») (Paris: EUR) which will be held on May 19, 2021, the Company wishes to detail the specific conditions of the holding of the general meeting taking into account the health emergency due to the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
By decision of April 8, 2021, the Board of Directors, in accordance with the ordinance n°2020-321 of March 25, 2020 and the Decree n°2020-418 of April 10, 2020, delegated to Mr Tidiane Barry, Directeur Général of the Company, the power (i) to decide that, in consideration of the measures preventing the holding of a general meeting of the shareholders with physical attendance, the annual ordinary general meeting convened by the Board of Directors of February 18, 2021 and which will be held on May 19, 2021 could be held without the attendance, physically or by telephone or video conference, of the shareholders and of the other persons having the right to attend to such meeting and (ii) to take any and all necessary or relevant steps and actions in connection with the convening and the holding of such general meeting.
This being stated, and pursuant to the above delegation, the Directeur Général took on April 14, 2021 the following decisions in respect of the modalities of holding of the general meeting of the shareholders of the Company of May 19, 2021 :
In consideration of the administrative measures in force limiting or prohibiting the movements or the collective gatherings for health reasons, the Directeur Général has decided that the general meeting of the shareholders convened by the Board of Directors on February 18, 2021 to be held on May 19, 2021 shall be held without the attendance, physically or by telephone or video conference, of the shareholders and of the other persons having the right to attend to such meeting.
This decision has been taken based on the following legal and factual considerations :
The general meeting of shareholders of the Company could only be held in a location opened to the public and the holding of a general meeting of shareholders does not fall into the exceptions to the above prohibition.
In addition, in accordance with article 4 of the above Decree : Any movement of person outside its residence is forbidden between 6:00 am and 7:00 pm and the participation to a general meeting of shareholders does not fall into the exceptions to this limitation.
Indeed, the use of this mean of attendance would require the verification remotely on the date of the general meeting the identity of each attendant to determine whether the concerned attendant is an actual shareholder of the Company having the right to vote.
