Rhea-AI Filing Summary

SES S.A. has called an Extraordinary General Meeting on 17 June 2026 to approve a significant capital and governance overhaul. The main proposal is to cut subscribed share capital from EUR 696,483,000 to EUR 651,572,220 by cancelling 35,928,624 shares previously repurchased under its buy-back programme, with no cash paid to shareholders because the shares are already held for the company. The meeting will also vote on adding indemnification protections for directors and executive committee members, clarifying the timing and venue of annual and other shareholder meetings, allowing hybrid (teleconference) meetings, tightening convening and disclosure requirements, and updating what shareholders and auditors must approve and report at annual meetings.

Insights

SES seeks to cancel buyback shares and modernize shareholder governance.

SES plans to reduce subscribed capital from EUR 696,483,000 to EUR 651,572,220 by cancelling 35,928,624 treasury shares acquired under its buy-back programme. This shrinks the share count to 521,257,776 split between Class A and Class B shares.

The proposals also add indemnification for directors and executive committee members, subject to limits for bad faith, gross negligence and similar misconduct. They codify hybrid general meetings, clearer convening rules, and expanded pre‑meeting disclosures via the company website, aligning with EU shareholder-rights standards.

If approved at the 17 June 2026 EGM, these changes would formalize SES’s capital reduction and update its articles around meeting logistics, disclosure, and liability protections. Subsequent company communications and future meetings will show how actively these new governance tools are used in practice.

A buy-back programme is when a company uses cash to repurchase its own shares from the market, reducing the number of shares available to investors. Like a store buying back its own gift cards to concentrate value, buy-backs can raise earnings per share and signal management’s confidence but also use cash that might have funded growth or dividends—details investors watch to judge impact on value and risk.

Attendance

The right of a shareholder to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) and to participate in the vote will be determined at midnight (CET) on the fourteenth day preceding the EGM, i.e. 3 June 2026 (the “Registration Date”). If a Fiduciary Depositary Receipts (“FDR”) holder wishes to attend the meeting he has to be recorded as a shareholder in the share register of the Company prior to the Registration Date. Anyone not being a shareholder on the Registration Date may not attend or vote at the EGM.

Withdrawal of FDRs and Conversion into A-shares

An FDR holder who wants to convert FDRs into A-shares has to request this conversion in accordance with conditions 12 and 16 of the Terms and Conditions of the Amended and Restated Fiduciary Deposit Agreement dated 26 September 2001. This document is available at the Banque et Caisse d’Épargne de l’État, Luxembourg. No charge for conversion will be requested for natural persons who are not yet shareholders of category A and who proceed to a conversion of a maximum of 10,000 FDRs into A-shares, allowing them to participate in the EGM of 17 June 2026.

The latest date for withdrawing FDRs and converting into A-shares for attendance at the EGM is 3 June 2026 at 4:30 p.m. CET. Shareholders who have converted their FDRs into A-shares prior to that date will receive a copy of the EGM documents and details required to attend the EGM. Please feel free to contact Banque et Caisse d’Épargne de l’État, Luxembourg, for further queries in this respect, at the following address: securitisation.irm@spuerkeess.lu.

Voting instructions

The FDR holder is entitled, subject to any applicable provisions (e.g. Luxembourg law, articles of association, shareholders’ thresholds and concession agreement) to instruct the Fiduciary via his bank as to the exercise of the voting rights by means of a voting certificate available on request at the bank where the FDRs are held.

In order for the voting instructions to be valid, the voting certificate form must be completed and duly signed by the FDR holder or, as the case may be, the beneficial owner. Please feel free to contact Banque et Caisse d’Épargne de l’État, Luxembourg, for further queries in this respect at the following address: securitisation.irm@spuerkeess.lu.

Upon receipt of the voting certificate on or before the date determined by the Fiduciary (being at the latest 15 June 2026 at 3:00 p.m. CET) with such certification and evidence as requested by the Fiduciary or by the Company, the Fiduciary shall transmit to the Company the relevant certifications and supporting evidence and the Company shall verify whether the relevant holders of FDRs or the beneficial owners thereof would qualify as an A-shareholder of the Company if in lieu of FDRs they would hold the corresponding number of A-shares.

If within eight Luxembourg business days from the receipt of such certification and supporting evidence, the Company has not notified the Fiduciary of its rejection of the request of a holder to exercise its voting rights pertaining to the A-shares underlying its FDRs, the Company shall be deemed to have accepted the relevant voting request.

After receipt of the written approval of the voting request by the Company, the Fiduciary shall vote or cause to be voted in accordance with the instructions set forth in such requests. The Fiduciary may designate and appoint authorized representatives to attend the meeting and vote on behalf of the FDR holders.

The voting instructions are deemed to be irrevocable and definitive 48 hours prior to the time for which the meeting has been convened, i.e. at the latest on 15 June 2026 at 3:00 p.m. CET. If the Fiduciary has not received voting instructions from the FDR holder, the Fiduciary shall be deemed to have been instructed to vote in the manner proposed by the Board of Directors in the relevant meeting.

There will be no vote under item 13. Miscellaneous.

Draft Resolution

The Meeting resolves to introduce indemnification provisions for the members of the board of directors of the Company and the members of the executive committee of the Company.

The Meeting resolves to add new paragraphs (F), (G) and (H) to article 9 of the articles of association of the Company which shall henceforth read as follows:

“(F) The members of the Board and the members of the Executive Committee are not held personally liable for the indebtedness or other obligations of the Company. As agents of the Company, they are responsible for the performance of their duties. Subject to the exceptions and limitations listed in paragraph (G) below and mandatory provisions of law, every person who is, or has been, a member of the Board or a member of the Executive Committee shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding which he or she becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his or her being or having been a Director or a member of the Executive Committee and against amounts paid or incurred by him or her in the settlement thereof. The words “claim”, “action”, “suit” or “proceeding” shall apply to all claims, actions, suits or proceedings (civil, criminal or otherwise including appeals) actual or threatened and the words “liability” and “expenses” shall include without limitation attorneys’ fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement and other liabilities.

(G) No indemnification shall be provided to any Director, member of the Executive Committee or shareholder (i) against any liability by reason of wilful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office; (ii) with respect to any matter as to which he or she shall have been finally adjudicated to have acted in bad faith and not in the interest of the Company or (iii) in the event of a settlement, unless the settlement has been approved by a court of competent jurisdiction or by the Board.

(H) The right of indemnification herein provided shall be severable, shall not affect any other rights to which any Director or member of the Executive Committee may now or hereafter be entitled, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be such Director or member of the Executive Committee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Nothing contained herein shall affect or limit any rights to indemnification to which corporate personnel, including Directors or members of the Executive Committee, may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law. The Company shall specifically be entitled to provide contractual indemnification to and may purchase and maintain insurance for any corporate personnel, including Directors or members of the Executive Committee, as the Company may decide upon from time to time.”

Projet de résolution

L’Assemblée décide d’introduire des dispositions d’indemnisation pour les membres du conseil d’administration de la Société et les membres du comité exécutif de la Société.

Sous réserve des exceptions et limitations énumérées à l’alinéa (G) ci-dessous et des dispositions impératives de la loi, toute personne qui est, ou a été, membre du Conseil ou membre du Comité Exécutif sera indemnisée par la Société dans toute la mesure permise par la loi contre toute responsabilité et contre toutes les dépenses raisonnablement encourues ou payées par elle dans le cadre de toute réclamation, action, poursuite ou procédure dans laquelle elle se trouve impliquée en tant que partie ou autrement en raison de sa qualité ou de son ancienne qualité d’administrateur ou de membre du Comité Exécutif et contre les montants payés ou encourus par elle dans le cadre du règlement de celles-ci. Les termes « réclamation », « action », « poursuite » ou « procédure » s’appliquent à toutes les réclamations, actions, poursuites ou procédures (civiles, pénales ou autres, y compris les appels) réelles ou potentielles et les termes « responsabilité » et « dépenses » comprennent, sans limitation, les honoraires d’avocats, les frais, les jugements, les montants payés dans le cadre d’un règlement et autres responsabilités.

(G) Aucune indemnisation ne sera accordée à un administrateur, un membre du Comité Exécutif ou un actionnaire (i) contre toute responsabilité résultant d’une faute intentionnelle, d’une mauvaise foi, d’une négligence grave ou d’un mépris téméraire des devoirs liés à l’exercice de ses fonctions; (ii) à l’égard de toute affaire pour laquelle il ou elle aura été définitivement jugé(e) comme ayant agi de mauvaise foi et non dans l’intérêt de la Société ou (iii) en cas de règlement amiable, à moins que le règlement n’ait été approuvé par un tribunal compétent ou par le Conseil.

FAQ

What capital reduction is SES (SGBAF) proposing at the 2026 EGM?

SES proposes cutting subscribed share capital from EUR 696,483,000 to EUR 651,572,220. This is done by cancelling 35,928,624 shares previously repurchased and held for the company, so no payment is made to shareholders.

How many SES shares will remain outstanding if the EGM proposals pass?

If approved, SES’s capital will be represented by 521,257,776 shares. These will consist of 347,505,184 Class A shares and 173,752,592 Class B shares, replacing the prior total of 557,186,400 shares before cancellation.

When and where will the SES (SGBAF) Extraordinary General Meeting take place?

The Extraordinary General Meeting is scheduled for 17 June 2026 at 3:00 p.m. CET. It will be held at SES’s registered office in Betzdorf, Luxembourg, with provisions allowing hybrid participation by telecommunication if the board so decides.

What new indemnification provisions is SES proposing for directors and executives?

SES plans to indemnify board and executive committee members for liabilities and reasonable expenses related to proceedings tied to their roles. Indemnification excludes cases of wilful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, reckless disregard of duties, or matters finally adjudicated against the company’s interests.

How will SES change rules for convening shareholder meetings and disclosures?

SES would require convening notices at least 30 days before meetings, with shorter periods allowed for repeat convocations. It will publish notices and key documents in specified media and on its website, including share and voting-right totals, draft resolutions, and proxy or correspondence voting forms.

Can SES (SGBAF) shareholder meetings be held in hybrid format under the proposals?

Yes. The draft amendments allow shareholders to participate by videoconference or similar telecommunication. Such participants are deemed present for quorum and majority, provided technical standards ensure identification, two-way audio, and continuous retransmission of deliberations.
