The Annual General Meeting is convened by the Management Board (or by the Supervisory Board if the Management Board fails to convene it within the period set out by the law) and it is held within six months after the end of each financial year. The General Meeting is valid regardless of the number of shares being represented. The agenda of the General Meeting is determined by the body that has convened it. Any matters to be resolved by the General Meeting should first be presented by the Management Board to the Supervisory Board for its opinion. The resolutions are adopted by a simple majority of votes cast, unless the Commercial Companies Code or the Articles of Association provide otherwise. Voting at the General Meeting is open. A secret ballot is used at elections or upon motions for removal of members of the Company’s Boards or liquidators, or calling them to account for their actions, or in personal matters. A secret ballot is also used whenever requested by at least one of the shareholders or their representatives present at the General Meeting.
