Key Terms

american depositary shares, loyalty shares, treasury shares, corporate governance statement, +4 more
8 terms
american depositary shares financial
"The total number of voting rights takes into account the voting instructions of the American Depositary Shares (ADS) holders..."
American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.
loyalty shares financial
"...taking into account the double voting rights attached to the loyalty shares in accordance with the Company's articles..."
Loyalty shares are extra ownership units or enhanced rights given to shareholders who keep their stock for a specified long period, like a reward for staying loyal. Think of it as a frequent‑buyer perk that pays out as extra shares, higher voting power, or richer dividends; it matters because it encourages holding, can strengthen long‑term investor returns, and may change control or liquidity of the stock.
treasury shares financial
"...and excluding the voting rights attached to treasury shares held by the Company)."
Treasury shares are a company’s own stock that it has repurchased and keeps on its books instead of canceling or leaving in the hands of outside investors. Think of them like coupons a business puts back in a drawer: they don’t vote or receive dividends while held, but they can be reissued later for employee pay or fundraising. For investors this matters because buybacks change the number of shares that count toward earnings and ownership, can boost per‑share metrics, and use corporate cash that might otherwise go to growth or dividends.
corporate governance statement regulatory
"Receipt and discussion of the annual reports, including the corporate governance statement and sustainability reporting..."
A corporate governance statement is a public summary of the rules, structures and practices a company uses to run itself and hold leaders accountable, covering topics like leadership roles, decision-making checks, ethics policies and how shareholder interests are protected. Investors use it like a homeowner’s manual or governance blueprint to judge whether the company is managed responsibly, whether risks are controlled, and whether their investment is likely to be treated fairly over the long term.
sustainability reporting (csrd) regulatory
"...including the corporate governance statement and sustainability reporting (CSRD), of the board of directors..."
A legal framework that requires companies to publish standardized information about their environmental, social and governance impacts and plans, essentially a formal ‘report card’ on sustainability performance. Investors use these reports like a consistent set of nutrition labels to judge long-term risks and opportunities—helping compare firms, spot hidden liabilities (such as pollution or supply-chain issues), and make more informed decisions about value and resilience.
statutory auditor regulatory
"The General Meeting resolves to grant discharge to the statutory auditor, being KPMG Bedrijfsrevisoren BV..."
A statutory auditor is an independent, legally required accountant who examines a company’s financial records and issues an official opinion on whether the financial statements give a true and fair view. Investors rely on this check as a trusted third-party stamp—like a certified inspection—because it reduces the chance that errors, omissions or rule-breaking will mislead people making investment decisions.
independent director regulatory
"The General Meeting resolves to (a) renew the mandate of Ms Marleen Mannekens as independent director for a period of one year..."
An independent director is a member of a company's board of directors who is not involved in the company's day-to-day operations and has no significant relationships with the company that could influence their judgment. Their role is to provide unbiased oversight and ensure the company is managed in the best interests of all shareholders. This helps build trust and confidence among investors by promoting transparency and accountability.
powers of attorney regulatory
"The General Meeting resolves to grant of powers of attorney to Felix Theus, Emma Heijmans and Maja Frederix..."
A power of attorney is a legal document that lets one person give another the authority to act on their behalf for specified tasks, such as handling bank accounts, signing contracts, or making medical decisions. For investors it matters because it determines who can buy, sell, or manage assets and make binding decisions during illness or absence—think of it as appointing a trusted agent to handle your financial and personal paperwork when you cannot. Keepers of these powers can affect ownership, voting, and access to funds.
