Key Terms

proxy, e-voting system, board of directors, non-executive director, +2 more

6 terms

proxy financial

"information on attending the meeting in person or by proxy, requirements for"

A proxy is the authorization a shareholder gives to another person or document to cast votes on their behalf at a company meeting. Think of it like handing someone your voting ticket so they can represent your choices on board elections, executive pay, mergers and other big decisions; it matters because proxies determine who controls the company and which proposals pass, directly affecting share value and investor returns.

e-voting system technical

"requirements for notification and registration for the meeting and regarding the e-voting system"

An e-voting system is an electronic platform that lets shareholders cast and record votes on corporate matters—such as board elections and mergers—using computers or mobile devices instead of paper ballots. It matters to investors because voting determines who makes key decisions that affect a company’s strategy and value; the system’s ease of use, security and auditability influence turnout, the fairness of outcomes and investors’ confidence in corporate governance, much like online banking replaces paper checks but must be trusted.

board of directors regulatory

"authorization of the Board of Directors to issue shares and to limit"

The Board of Directors is a group of people chosen by a company's owners to help make big decisions and oversee how the company is run. They act like a team of advisors or managers, making sure the company stays on track and meets its goals. Their choices can influence the company's success and how it grows.

non-executive director regulatory

"Appointment of Tim Van Hauwermeiren as non-executive director to the Board"

A non-executive director is a member of a company’s board who does not work for the company day-to-day but provides independent oversight, strategic guidance and checks on management. For investors, they matter because they act like an impartial referee or outside advisor, helping ensure decisions protect shareholder interests, reduce risks of poor governance, and add credibility to financial reporting and long-term strategy.

remuneration report financial

"an advisory vote on the company’s 2025 remuneration report, the discharge of"

A remuneration report is a formal disclosure that lists how much company leaders and board members are paid, including salaries, bonuses, stock awards, pension and other benefits, and explains the rules used to set that pay. Investors use it like a receipt or scorecard to judge whether management’s incentives are aligned with shareholder interests, to estimate ongoing costs, and to spot governance or risk issues that could affect a stock’s value.

pre-emptive rights financial

"to issue shares and to limit or exclude pre-emptive rights in relation thereto"

An investor's pre-emptive rights are the option given to existing shareholders to buy new shares before they are offered to the public or new investors, letting them maintain their percentage ownership and voting power. Think of it like a right of first refusal at a sale: it prevents ownership from being diluted by allowing current holders to keep the same stake, which matters because dilution can reduce influence and the share of future profits.
