ABENEX only invests in unlisted companies. Nevertheless, and in line with Articles 319-21 et seq. of the AMF General Regulations, ABENEX‘s policy is to participate and vote at each shareholders’ meeting of its portfolio companies or to be represented at such meetings.

The exercise of these voting rights is carried out in accordance with the agreements in place, in particular the shareholders’ agreement which defines the important decisions which, before being put to the vote of the shareholders, if necessary, must first be authorised by the supervisory body of the place where ABENEX has its registered office. These decisions relate in particular to:

  • decisions entailing an amendment to the articles of association of the portfolio company or its subsidiaries;
  • approval of the accounts and allocation of profits;
  • appointment and dismissal of executives;
  • regulated agreements;
  • issues and capital reductions;
  • appointment of the statutory auditors;
  • strategic decisions of the portfolio company (recruitment/dismissal of key executives, disposal/acquisition of major assets, etc.).

The purpose of exercising voting rights is to defend the interests of the investors in the Funds managed, although, of course, this exercise must be carried out in accordance with the corporate interest of the portfolio company concerned.
