COMBINED GENERAL MEETING HELD BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
ON APRIL 24, 2020 AND RESULTS OF VOTING ON THE RESOLUTIONS
In accordance with Icade's announcements, Ordinance No. 2020-321 of March 25, 2020 and Decree No. 2020-418 of April 10, 2020, and in the context of the lockdown imposed on the French population to contain the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak, the General Shareholders' Meeting of April 24, 2020 was held at 9:30 a.m. without shareholders or other people entitled to attend being physically present.
Icade recalls that notices of meeting and notices to attend were published and convening letters were sent in accordance with applicable regulations and that all the documents relating to this General Meeting are available and will remain available on the Company's website at https://www.icade.fr/en/finance/shareholders/general-shareholders-meeting.No written question was received prior to the General Meeting.
This Meeting was chaired by Mr Frédéric Thomas, Chairman of the Board of Directors. In accordance with Article 8 of Decree No. 2020-418 of April 10, 2020, the Board of Directors which met before the General Meeting appointed two shareholders as scrutineers: Caisse des Dépôts, represented by Ms Virginie Fernandes, and the Crédit Agricole Assurances Group, represented by Mr Emmanuel Chabas. Mr Jérôme Lucchini was appointed as the Meeting's Secretary.
Shareholders were able to vote by post or proxy using the voting form or electronically using the Votaccess platform.
Taking into account votes cast remotely or by proxy, the General Meeting Committee noted that 1,175 shareholders took part in the vote, representing:
- 64,885,898 voting shares, i.e. a quorum of 87.763% for the Ordinary General Meeting,
- 64,889,838 voting shares, i.e. a quorum of 87.768% for the Extraordinary General Meeting 1.
The Meeting is therefore valid. The General Meeting Committee then recorded the votes from shareholders who voted remotely, gave a proxy to the Chairman or a third party to vote by post on their behalf on each of the ordinary and extraordinary resolutions of the General Meeting.
The General Meeting of shareholders adopts all of the proposed resolutions by a wide majority.
The detailed voting results are shown in the appendix to this press release.
