DGB Group N.V. (“DGB” or “the Group”) (Euronext: DGB: NL0009169515), a leading carbon project developer and ecosystem restoration company, convenes an Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) of shareholders to be held on Thursday, 24 April 2025, at 14:00 CET.
The primary agenda item of the EGM is to formally appoint GCP Auditors Ltd (“GCP”) as DGB’s external audit firm, ensuring the completion of the 2024 audit process and the publication of audited financial statements by 30 April 2025. GCP is a registered Public Interest Entity (“PIE”) audit firm and is fully accredited by the AFM. The audit will be conducted by a Dutch external accountant registered with both the NBA and AFM, ensuring full compliance with all regulatory requirements. This appointment is a critical requirement for maintaining DGB’s listing on Euronext Amsterdam and ensuring full compliance with financial reporting obligations.
Securing a PIE audit firm has been a key priority for DGB, following Euronext Amsterdam’s updated compliance guidelines issued on 11 October 2023.
In January 2024, DGB obtained an assignment letter from a European PIE audit firm, which successfully halted its delisting process and ensured continued trading on Euronext Amsterdam. The upcoming EGM will finalise this process by securing shareholder approval of GCP’s appointment, allowing DGB to complete its audit within the required timeframe.
DGB’s CEO, Selwyn Duijvestijn, states: “The appointment of GCP as our external audit firm marks the successful conclusion of a key compliance process. Over the past years, we have taken the necessary steps to ensure full regulatory alignment to maintain our presence on Euronext Amsterdam. We will now be positioned to actively drive market awareness, increase market visibility, enhance investor engagement, and drive long-term growth.”
