Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting
At an Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting held on 25 March 2013, bpost shareholders decided to proceed to a capital reduction in the amount of €144 M, to be divided among the shareholders pro rata according to their share holdings in the equity capital, together with a reduction of the legal reserve in the amount of €21 M.
These decisions are subject to certain conditions, including, in particular, the approval of the draft 5th Management Contract by the European Commission.
In a bpost internal staff communication, CEO Johnny Thijs states that this decision will have no impact on bpost's projects and that bpost's strategy, which has proved successful in previous years, will be maintained.
