SPORTTOTAL AG's Annual General Meeting which was held in a digital format this year as well has paved the way for financing the growth envisaged for SPORTTOTAL. With its approval of new Authorised Capital of around ?15.5 million and the explicit approval of a convertible bond of around ?7.0 million, the Annual General Meeting has enabled the financing of the company's growth plans. Despite the unrelenting massive impact of restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic on the SPORTTOTAL Group's business model, this is proof that the shareholders are still backing the growth plans. All the proposals put forward by management proposals were approved by a large majority of the voting capital present. Christoph Tönsgerlemann and Martin Ott were affirmed by the Annual General Meeting as members of the Supervisory Board. As CEO Peter Lauterbach explained in his Management Board speech, SPORTTOTAL's focus in the coming months will be on promoting the growth of sporttotal.tv, the streaming platform for live sports events, and on developing the area of local advertising bookings in particular.
