What is E-voting?

E-voting is the dedicated web site for voting at annual and extraordinary general meetings through the Internet.

Is E-voting a substitute for a hard-copy voting ballot?

E-voting via the dedicated web site is a method additional to conventional voting methods that can be used at a meeting.

Information on general meetings at which it is possible to vote using the E-voting service is available in the Meeting News section of the web site, as well as on an issuer's web site if this platform is used by the issuer.
