6 terms

beneficiary certificates financial

"shareholders and holders of beneficiary certificates considered the following proposals"

consolidated financial statements financial

"approve the Company’s annual accounts ... and the Company’s consolidated financial statements"

Consolidated financial statements combine the financial results of a parent company and all the companies it controls into one set of reports, like showing the whole family’s budget instead of each person’s separate accounts. For investors this matters because it gives a complete picture of assets, debts, revenue and cash flow across the entire group, helping assess true size, risk and profitability without missing or double-counting related activity.

discharge of the liability financial

"grant discharge of the liability of the members of the Company’s board of directors"

independent auditor financial

"appoint Ernst & Young S.A. (Luxembourg) as the Company’s independent auditor"

An independent auditor is an outside, qualified accounting professional or firm that examines a company's financial records and controls to determine whether its financial statements are accurate and prepared according to accepted accounting rules. Like a neutral referee or home inspector, the auditor issues a report that gives investors confidence (or raises red flags) about the reliability of the numbers, which affects assessments of risk, valuation and investment decisions.

director remuneration financial

"the proposal to approve the directors’ remuneration for the year 2026 was approved"

repurchase 10,000,000 shares financial

"authorize the Board of Directors to repurchase 10,000,000 shares issued by the Company"
