RB 55/2015 Change in the agenda of Annual General Meeting of AmRest convened for May 19th, 2015
In regards to RB 52/2015 dated April 22nd, 2015, the Management Board of AmRest Holdings SE (“AmRest”, ”the Company”) informs about receiving on April 28th, 2014 from one of the AmRest shareholders, WP Holdings VII B.V. (“the Shareholder”), with its registered head office in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, holding currently 6 726 790 shares of AmRest, a motion for supplementing the agenda of the Annual General Meeting of AmRest (“the AGM”) convened for May 19th, 2015 with a following point:
“Adoption of a resolution on fixing the remuneration of the Supervisory Board members.”
Rationale of the motion received from the Shareholder:
The general remuneration policy of the Supervisory Board members has not been discussed since 2011. In the Shareholder’s view, current rules should be reviewed by the AGM to make them more aligned with the growing value and market standing of the Company. The Shareholder also believes that the remuneration of the Supervisory Board members should be diversified and dependent on the functions performed by each member, and consequently their involvement in performing the supervisory duties over the Company.
As of the date of the motion WP Holdings VII B.V. with its seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, currently holds 6 726 790 (six million seven hundred and twenty six thousand seven hundred and ninety) shares of the Company, carrying right to 6 726 790 (six million seven hundred and twenty six thousand seven hundred and ninety) votes in the Company, which constitute 31.71% of the share capital of the Company and 31.71% of the total number of votes in the Company. Therefore, the Shareholder is entitled to demand the agenda of the AGM to be supplemented on the basis of the Article 401 § 1 of the Code of Commercial Companies.
Accordingly, the Company hereby announces the amended agenda:
1) Opening of the Annual General Meeting.
2) Election of the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting.
