Shares and shareholders
In accordance with the articles of association, the shares of the company are divided into series A shares and series B shares. In accordance with the articles of association, a series A share confers three (3) votes each in a general meeting; except when electing members of the Board of Directors, a series A share confers ten (10) votes each in a general meeting and series B share confers one (1) vote each.
The owners of series A shares signed a mutual shareholder agreement in 2011 and the mutual shareholder agreement between the owners of series A and B shares was signed in 2014. The shareholder agreement between the owners of series A shares provides a more accurate specification of the objectives of the A shareholders concerning the operations of the company than that in the articles of association.
The shareholder agreement between the owners of series A and B shares secures the position of the investor shareholders. The agreement contains stipulations which require that the amendment of certain articles in the articles of association calls for the acceptance of the investor shareholders.
