General meetings of shareholders

The Fortis share represents a unique ‘twinned’ equity holding in both Fortis SA/NV and Fortis N.V., with the associated voting, dividend and other rights. Each share carries a single vote at the shareholders’ meetings of both Fortis SA/NV and Fortis N.V.

Fortis shareholders are entitled to attend the General Meetings of Shareholders in person or by proxy. The two shareholders’ meetings basically deal with the same issues, including the annual report, dividend, the appointment and reappointment of members of the Board of Directors and, amendments to the Articles of Association.
