WENDEL: 2020 Annual General Meeting
2020 Annual General Meeting
Wendel’s Annual General Meeting will be postponed to July 2, 2020. This decision will enable Bureau Veritas’ Annual Shareholders Meeting to precede that of Wendel as has been the case every year and also to potentially preserve shareholders’ ability to participate in the meeting in person.
After a very good 2019 financial performance and in light of its solid balance sheet, Wendel had announced a €2.90 per share dividend on March 17. Wendel wants to have a better understanding of the macroeconomic and health situation prior to confirming this decision.
