Societe Generale: The combined General Meeting of 19 May 2020 shall
be held without the physical presence of its shareholders
PRESS RELEASE
Paris, 31 March 2020
The combined General Meeting of 19 May
2020 shall be held without the physical presence of its
shareholders
On 31 March 2020, by audioconference, the Board
of directors of Société Générale SA have decided that the combined
(ordinary and extraordinary) General Meeting of May 19, 2020 shall
be held at 4 PM without the physical presence of its shareholders
given the measures limiting public gatherings due to the health
status in France.
This decision stems from article 4 of ordinance N ° 2020-321 of
March 25, 2020 relating to the holding of General Meetings, taken
by the Government by virtue of the authorization conferred on it by
the Emergency Law March 23, 2020 to address the covid-19
epidemic.
The date, time and place of the General Meeting
as decided by the Board of Directors during its meeting of 5
February 2020 remain valid. The convening brochure which will be
published in the Bulletin des Annonces Légales Obligatoires (BALO)
will provide all the useful information on the holding of the
General Meeting of 19 May 2020 and the conditions and methods for
the shareholders to participate. These terms will be communicated
on 10 April 2020, once they have been finalized by the Board of
Directors.
In this context of health crisis, Societe
Generale will be particularly careful with regard to the respect of
the shareholders’rights and will look after the quality of the
shareholder dialogue in particular via the vote by postal voting
form, or the vote by Internet (VOTACCESS) and the procedure of the
written questions.
Societe Generale already invites its
shareholders to regularly connect to the section dedicated to the
General Meeting on the company's website www.societegenerale.com
which will be updated on the decisions taken and recalls that, as
every year, the General Meeting will be broadcast on the company's
website.
