Liege, July 18, 2013 - EVS Broadcast Equipment SA, the leading provider of live
video production systems, today published the invitation to an Extraordinary
General Meeting of shareholders to be held on August 20, 2013 at the
headquarters of the company in Seraing.
More specifically, EVS will propose to the shareholders:
1. The appointment of two new independent Directors:
* Muriel de Lathouwer: Mrs. de Lathouwer is Managing Director of Ariade
Carbone since 2012 (engineering consultancy firm in energy and
environmental matters) and of MucH since 2010 (consultancy in marketing,
strategy and sustainable real estate). She started her career as
Consultant for Accenture, before spending 7 years at McKinsey in
Brussels (she was Associate Principal between 2006 and 2008, specialized
in telecom, high tech and media sectors). In 2008 and 2009, she was
Chief Marketing Officer of BASE (KPN Group Belgium). She is an Engineer
in nuclear physics (ULB, Brussels), and holds an MBA from Insead
(Paris). She is a member of Women on Board (Belgian association
gathering women who are members of Board of Directors), and a member of
the Board of Directors of Amoobi, private start-up.
- Freddy Tacheny: Mr. Tacheny is Managing Director of Zelos, a company he
founded in 2012, active in the organization of sporting events and in advising
stakeholders in the media and sport worlds. Zelos is notably taking care of a
MotoGP® team and different professional sport teams (such as Spirou de
Charleroi, the Sharks of Antibes or Verviers-Pepinster in basketball). He
started at IP (the advertising arm of RTL Belgium) in 1989, where he became
successively Marketing Director and Managing Director in 1999. Expert in
editorial content at an international level, he became General Manager of RTL
Belgium in 2002, a position he held until his departure of RTL Belgium in 2011.
He holds a Master in Business Sciences (ICHEC, Brussels). He is a Director of
BMMA (Belgian Marketing and Management Association), of which he was the
Chairman during 11 years. He is also the Sport Chairman of the Jules Tacheny
circuit in Mettet.
a. The issuance of 25,000 warrants, under the conditions detailed in the
invitation, to be granted to Joop Janssen, CEO of EVS. This issuance was
rejected by the Extraordinary General Meeting of August 31, 2012. The EVS
Board of Directors has reviewed certain conditions of the issuance, and
presents it again at this Meeting.
b. The renewal of the authorization given to the Board in relation with the
authorized capital.
Pierre Rion, Chairman of the Board of Directors, said: "We are pleased to
propose these two appointments now. This will allow us, if approved, to prepare
a transition given most current mandates are expiring or subject to renewal next
May. Furthermore, we hope that our shareholders will support the proposed new
issuance of 25,000 warrants to be granted to Mr. Janssen. He is undoubtedly an
important element in achieving our new strategy and these warrants will help us
to retain, as it had been agreed in the Management agreement signed when he
arrived."
