This year's Annual General Meeting of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen Aktiengesellschaft was held on July 23, 2020 as a virtual Annual General Meeting.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Management Board has decided, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to hold a virtual Annual General Meeting without physical participation of the shareholders or their proxies (with the exception of the Company's proxies).
Once again, we are offering our shareholders an Internet-based system which has been enhanced by additional features this year. Shareholders will receive the required access data with their access card after due registration and providing evidence of their shareholding.
The Internet-based system will be available from July 2, 2020 via the following link:
Internet-based System AGM 2020** (no further action possible)
Shareholders who have registered for the Annual General Meeting can follow the entire Annual General Meeting live in audio and video via the Internet-based system. Please note that the Internet-based System is available in German only and that the Annual General Meeting will be held in German.
Shareholders (or their proxies) who have duly registered and provided evidence of their shareholding may exercise their voting rights at the virtual Annual General Meeting only by means of postal vote or by issuing power of attorney and instructions to the proxies appointed by the Company. Voting by postal vote or by issuing power of attorney and instructions to the proxies shall be exercised in writing or by electronic communication via the above-mentioned Internet-based system. Via the Internet-based system, it shall be possible to vote by postal vote or to grant power of attorney and instructions to proxies as well as to revoke or change such power of attorney or instructions until immediately before the start of voting at the virtual Annual General Meeting on July 23, 2020.
Shareholders who have duly registered and provided evidence of their shareholding may also submit questions (in German language only) to the Management Board via the Internet service prior to the Annual General Meeting by no later than Monday, July 20, 2020, 24:00 hours (CEST) (receipt).
