Annual General Meeting
D-97
Organised within five months after the close of the financial year, the Annual General Meeting is a key event for our shareholders. It provides them with direct information on the company's activity, and gives them the opportunity to take part in debates with General Management and vote on the resolutions submitted for approval by the Board of Directors.
Translated texts – in the event of any discrepancy between the French and the English versions, the French one takes precedence.
