Under ITEM 14, the nomination committee seeks approval of the (re-)election of the board of directors and the statutory auditor. Although ECGS has no concerns over the (re-)election of the auditor, it does not approve of the (proposed) composition of the board of directors, in view of concerns over aggregate time commitments of no less than 4 directors. Accordingly, ECGS recommends to vote OPPOSE.
Under ITEM 15, the board of directors seeks approval of the Company's remuneration guidelines. Although ECGS has no (major) concerns over the (proposed) amendments, the remuneration structure is not in line with its guidelines. Accordingly, ECGS recommends to vote OPPOSE.
