30-07-2008: Fortis - open letter - 30 july 2008

Next Friday the Board of Directors of Fortis will meet.

 

In its letter of last July 17, Fortis confirms to Test Achats and Deminor that their request of an Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders will be treated. Test Achats and Deminor consequently deplore the remarks of the new CEO, Mr Verwilst, in the Dutch-speaking press where he said not to be in favour of such a request. The two organizations think that with such remarks concerning points of the competence of the Board of Directors, the CEO influences the sovereign decision-making process of the Board of Directors. It thus prevents an effective debate between the members of the Council in connection with a convocation of an Extraordinary General Meeting. For these reasons, Test Achats and Deminor send today an open letter to the members of the Board of Directors. You will find this letter in appendix.
