Additionally, members of the Statutory Audit Committee will be elected or re-elected during this session. Shareholders are also expected to grant authorization to the Board to determine the remuneration of the external auditors.

In addition to these deliberations, shareholders will have the opportunity to consider and, if deemed appropriate, pass a special resolution.
This resolution pertains to the proposed amendment of Article 24 of the Company’s Articles of Association.
The amendment seeks to empower the Board to increase the issued share capital of NGX Group and allocate new shares as deemed necessary, subject to prior approval from shareholders at a General Meeting.
