Note to Voting results on Agenda item 11a Revision of the Remuneration Policy for the Management Board
EU Shareholders Directive 2017/828 Article 9bis paragraph 5 require Member States to ensure that companies submit the remuneration policy to a vote by the general meeting at every material change and in any case at least every four years.
When implementing this provision in Article 2: 135a paragraph 2 of the Dutch Civil Code, Dutch Parliament has adopted a more stringent provision regarding the required majority. Instead of an absolute majority, article 2:135a paragraph 2 DCC requires a qualified majority of 75% of the votes cast.
In NSI's 2024 AGM a total of 11.775.095 votes were cast on Agenda item 11a whilst 412.235 shares abstained from voting. Of the total of 11.775.095 casted votes, 7.495.179 (63,65%) were in favour of the proposal. Therefore the qualified majority has not been met and the proposal could not be adopted.
As a consequence and following Article 2:135 parapraph 9 DCC the company will keep remunerating the Management Board in conformity with the existing 2020 Policy, and will submit a reviewed proposal to our shareholders. The reviewed proposal will take into account the results of a benchmark to be conducted among the companies of NSI's reference group and peer group as well as the voting result and the views of shareholders and their proxy advisors and other stakeholders.
