ECGI – EGM 2020
ECGI Extraordinary General Meeting
(9 June and most likely, 16 June 2020)
Agenda
1. Opening remarks
(Including consideration of the number and nature of proxy voters)
2. Interim Update
(Interim update by Marco Becht, Executive Director)
3. Resolution: Proposal to amend the Articles of Association
According to Article 20 of ECGI’s Articles of Association, the General Assembly can "validly deliberate on amendments to the Articles of Association only if the object of such amendments is mentioned explicitly in the call to meeting and if two thirds of the total number of members and two thirds of the Research Members as a group are present or represented at the assembly. Any amendment shall require a two-thirds majority of the votes, including a two-thirds majority of the Research Members present or represented when counted as a group. Abstentions are not counted".
If, as experience shows in this geographically dispersed institution, less than two thirds of the membership as a whole and less than two thirds of the Research Members are present or represented at that assembly, the Board of Directors may and would call a second General Assembly within three weeks of the date of the first Assembly, which shall validly deliberate whatever the number of Members present or represented.
Indeed, if the Extraordinary Meeting of the General Assembly to be held on 9 June 2020 does not have the required quorum, you are as of now invited to a further Extraordinary Meeting of the General Assembly to be held at 15:00 on Tuesday 16 June 2020 by video conference. This second Extraordinary Meeting of the General Assembly shall validly deliberate whatever the number of Members present or represented (in accordance with article 20.2).
4. Resolution: Ratification of the co-optation of new Board member (1)
To seek ratification of the co-optation of Lucrezia Reichlin as a director for a period of three years (until the AGM in 2023).
5. Resolution: Ratification of the co-optation of new Board member (2)
To seek ratification of the co-optation of Yupana Wiwattanakantang as a director for a period of three years (until the AGM in 2023).
6. Powers to be conferred for the implementation of the resolutions adopted
It is proposed to grant a proxy to Aurélie Terlinden, as well as to any other attorney at the firm White & Case LLP, rue de la Loi 62, 1040 Brussels, each with the power to act alone and power of substitution in order to complete all necessary or useful formalities with the registry of the competent commercial court and, more precisely, to publish an extract of these decisions in the Annexes to the Moniteur Belge and complete, sign and file Forms I and II thereon.
7. Any other competent business and closure
