These included the Management Report, Consolidated Financial Statements, and Financial Statements for the 2025 financial year, along with advisory votes on the Sustainability Report 2025 and Compensation Report 2025. The approval of these documents indicates shareholder endorsement of the company's financial performance, sustainability initiatives, and executive compensation practices during the previous fiscal period.

Additional approved proposals encompassed the allocation and appropriation of retained earnings and reserves from capital contributions, the re-election of Nomination and Remuneration Committee members, the re-election of statutory auditors and the independent proxy, and changes to the company's Articles of Association. Shareholders also approved the compensation framework for both the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee. These approvals collectively represent comprehensive shareholder support for the company's governance framework and strategic direction.
