Safe Orthopaedics’ Combined Annual General Assembly took place Friday July 24th, 2020 behind closed doors, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The shareholders taking part in the vote owned collectively 2 891 588 shares, or 23,81% of the share capital and 23,96% of the voting rights.
The quorum necessary for holding a combined general assembly on first call has not been reached.
