Therefore, the IHO shareholders may be in a position to have resolutions passed which only require a simple majority. Moreover, this shareholding may provide the IHO shareholders with a majority of the votes present at the general shareholders’ meetings (assuming that not more than 90% of the share capital will be present at such general shareholders’ meetings). Such decisions include, but are not limited to, corporate actions (such as capital increases) and certain reorganizations. With this 46% shareholding, the IHO shareholders could block decisions proposed by Vitesco Technologies Group AG to its shareholders, in particular those requiring a three-quarter majority.
