DGB GROUP N.V. (Euronext: DGB, “DGB” or “the Company”) announces the convocation of an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (”EGM”), to be held virtually on 30 December 2021 at 9:00 am (CET).
At the EGM, the shareholders of DGB will be asked to vote on the proposal to amend the Company’s articles of association (the “Articles of Association”), which amendment entails an adjustment of the Group’s financial year.
If this proposal to amend the Articles of Association is adopted, the Company’s financial year will run from 1 July to 30 June (instead of being equal to a calendar year), and the current financial year 2021 will be an extended financial year of 18 months from 1 January 2021 up to and including 30 June 2022.
The extension of the financial year is necessary in view of the very limited number of PIE audit firms in the Netherlands, and the fact that the Company has not yet been successful in appointing an audit firm for the audit of the annual accounts for the current financial year 2021. Based on the feedback of the PIE audit firms, capacity of audit professionals has been a regular argument for not accepting the engagement. With the amendment of the financial years the Company wants to address this capacity issue at the PIE audit firms.
The EGM’s full convocation notice, agenda and the explanatory notes thereto and further EGM materials, including the draft deed of amendment of the Articles of Association, can be downloaded from DGB’s website www.dgb.earth.
