At the time of the ALV, measures regarding COVID-19 have recently been relaxed. Keeping a distance is no longer obligatory and physical meetings are again allowed in the hospitality industry on condition that one can produce a so-called corona pass. The physical meeting will be held at a central location in the Netherlands (Nieuwegein). In addition, the board has arranged for the possibility of digital participation in the AGM by means of a livestream (MS Teams). Voting can also take place via the livestream, provided the participant is a member of the Mechanical Engineering Department. The full (interim) board is present in Nieuwegein. We are missing some board members who have resigned, but whose resignation has not yet been formalised (by means of an ALV).
