Extraordinary general meeting
A meeting held outside the annual cycle, called by the board, the audit commission, the auditor or large holders.
How to read the number
It carries the decisions that cannot wait for the annual meeting: an interim payment, a reorganisation, a change in the board.
When the metric lies
Convening one settles nothing by itself: the agenda is framed by whoever called it, and the question everyone was waiting for may not appear on it.
