News from FAIB
Questions remain on how to organise your General Assembly this year?
Due to the pandemic, organising a General Assembly (GA) might seem a lot more complicated than usual. The Law amending the Companies and Associations Code (CAC) in the framework of the fight against the spread of the COVID-19 virus of December 20, 2020 introduced 3 mechanisms for GAs: 1) Virtual GA, 2) Unanimous written resolutions, and 3) Advance voting.
Our Associate Member, Antoine Druetz, together with FAIB Sponsor, Spreds, gave an insightful webinar in February 2021 on the topic. If you are a member of the FAIB, you can find the slides of that webinar containing all the details here under past events “Webinar | General Assembly 2.0”.
