Sébastien D'Hondt - end of term as Supervisory Board member
The Supervisory Board and Sébastien D'Hondt have decided to not seek his reappointment at today’s AGM, nor to seek an immediate replacement. The Supervisory Board will carry out its collective tasks with the remaining five Supervisory Board members. Over time, the appointment of a sixth member may be sought, with a profile to be determined at that time, depending on the needs for the supervision.
Mike Nawas (Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Triodos Bank): “Sébastien D'Hondt has been a valued Supervisory Board member since 2019. Throughout his term of office, he has also been a member of the Audit and Risk Committee, chairing it ad interim for over a year. Based on his extensive experience in banking, finance and entrepreneurship, and using his creative mind, he brought many thought-provoking perspectives to our board room discussions. My colleagues and I thank him for his support, for the breadth of his contributions and for the personal effort he put in to support Triodos Bank throughout these eventful years.”
MTF-Evaluation
Based on the evaluation of the tradability of DRs on the Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF), Triodos Bank has concluded that the trading of DRs on the MTF does not provide the adequately functioning trading solution that DR Holders are looking for. Potential MTF improvements are deemed unlikely to sufficiently resolve the experienced limitations. Consequently, Triodos Bank has decided to start preparing for listing of the DRs on Euronext. The decision to start preparing for listing of the DRs on Euronext was discussed during the AGM.
Representation DRs at AGM
At the hybrid meeting around 25% of the DRs were represented at the meeting (in person, online and via proxy).
