General meeting

The general meeting is the company’s highest decision-making body. The annual general meeting must by law be held within six months of the end of the financial year. The annual general meeting decides on issues such as adoption of the income statement and balance sheet, appropriation of the company’s profit or loss, discharge from liability, election of directors and appointment of auditors.

The notice to attend any other general meeting will be issued not earlier than six and not later than three weeks prior to the meeting. Shareholders that are recorded in the shareholder register administered by Euroclear on behalf of MedCap not later than five weekdays prior to the meeting, and that have notified the company of their participation in accordance with the instructions in the notice to attend the meeting, have the right to participate in, and vote at, the annual general meeting.
