Governance tweaks and director votes ahead at eToro (ETOR) 2026 shareholder meeting
eToro Group Ltd. is calling an annual shareholder meeting, also serving as a separate class meeting for Class B holders, on May 26, 2026 at its Bnei Brak offices. Shareholders of record as of April 15, 2026 can vote in person or by proxy.
Investors will vote on re-electing two Class I directors, ratifying Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer (EY Global) as auditor for 2026, and three amendments to the company’s BVI Memorandum and Articles. These amendments address use of Class B shares as collateral, record date flexibility, and lower quorum requirements for adjourned meetings.
The proxy also includes an adjournment proposal that would allow the meeting chair to adjourn if there are insufficient votes to approve the main proposals. The board unanimously recommends voting in favor of all items and highlights its majority-independent board and established governance practices.
