Vétoquinol S.A. - Assemblée Générale des actionnaires du 21 mai 2019

Proxinvest attire l'attention des actionnaires sur les points suivants :

Tout d'abord, notons que le Conseil d'administration de la société est largement composé par la famille Frechin, actionnaire de contrôle, qui est représentée par 4 sièges sur 8 (50%).
Par ailleurs, Proxinvest regrette que la société maintienne la possibilité de l'usage de ses délégations financières en période d'offre publique, ce qui n'est pas favorable aux intérêts des actionnaires puisque cela peut être considéré comme la mise en place d'un arsenal anti-OPA.

Enfin, la communication de la société concernant les rémunérations de ses dirigeants mandataires et sociaux et leurs structures ne semblent pas en ligne avec les pratiques de la place.

Cependant il est à noter que cette année à dissocier les politiques de rémunérations pour l’exercice à venir (rémunération ex-anté).
