Grundfos takes our responsibility for the joint safety seriously in light of COVID-19 and the Danish authorities’ measures to control the risk of infection with COVID-19. For that reason the Board of Directors has decided that the General Meeting of Grundfos Holding A/S will be held as a partially electronic General Meeting. This implies that the shareholders, instead of attending the General Meeting in person, may participate and exercise their shareholders’ rights at the General Meeting electronically.
The agenda for the Extraordinary General Meeting will be as follows:
1. Election of Chairman of the meeting
The Board of Directors proposes that Astrid Nørgaard Friis is elected as Chairman of the meeting.
2. Election of member of the Board of Directors
Natalie Knight wishes to resign as member of the Board of Directors of the company. The Board of Directors proposes that Henrik Ehlers Wulff be elected to the Board of Directors for a term of office ending with the next Annual General Meeting in 2021.
3. Extraordinary remuneration of the Chairman of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors proposes due to special circumstances related to temporary additional support related to specific strategic and organizational initiatives in 2020 and 2021, that Jens Moberg, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Grundfos Holding A/S, be remunerated with an extraordinary remuneration in 2020 and, to increase the remuneration covering the period from January 2021 to April 2021 (both months included).
