Agenda
The agenda of the annual AGM meeting includes, amongst others, the following points:
- the report of the Management Board;
- adoption of the annual accounts;
- explanation of the reservation and dividend policy;
- determination of dividend;
- discharge from liability to the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board;
- (re)appointment of members of the Supervisory Board.
In addition to the points laid down in the articles of association, other proposals from the Supervisory Board, the Board of Directors or from shareholders can also be discussed. Shareholders who alone or jointly represent at least 1% of the issued capital have the right to request the Management Board or the Supervisory Board to put items on the agenda of the general meeting of shareholders.
Voting rights and votes
Every shareholder has the right to attend an AGM, either in person or by proxy in writing, to speak and to exercise his voting rights. Each share gives the right to cast one vote. At the Annual General Meetings of Shareholders, resolutions are passed by an absolute majority of votes cast, unless Vopak’s Articles of Association or the law prescribe a larger majority.
