Driebergen (Pays-Bas), le 10 octobre 2022
La Banque Triodos regrette l’escalade et demandera à la Chambre des entreprises de rejeter la demande d’enquête.
La Banque Triodos a été informée que la Stichting Certificaathouders Triodos Bank ("Fondation") a déposé une requête auprès de la Chambre des entreprises de la Cour d'appel d'Amsterdam ("Chambre des entreprises"). La Fondation a demandé à la Chambre des entreprises d'ordonner une enquête. La Banque Triodos regrette cette escalade et demandera à la Chambre des entreprises de rejeter cette demande.
La Banque Triodos reste engagée à résoudre la suspension de la négociation de ses certificats et à restaurer l'accès potentiel à de nouveaux capitaux en cotant ses certificats sur une plateforme multilatérale de négociation ("MTF"). La Banque Triodos reste convaincue que c'est dans le meilleur intérêt de ses parties prenantes. En outre, la cotation sur une MTF permet à la banque de continuer à remplir sa mission.
Les préparatifs de la cotation proposée se déroulent comme prévu et, avec la récente nomination de Captin comme fournisseur de la MTF, la Banque Triodos reste en bonne voie pour achever le processus au deuxième trimestre 2023. Une assemblée générale extraordinaire (AGE) se tiendra le mardi 11 octobre 2022. Lors de cette assemblée, la Banque Triodos demandera formellement à son actionnaire, la Stichting Administratiekantoor Aandelen Triodos Bank (SAAT), d'approuver le principe de la cotation des certificats d’actions sur une plateforme MTF.
La Banque Triodos a activement travaillé, et continuera à travailler, avec toutes ses parties prenantes pour assurer un processus ordonné qui prend en compte les intérêts de toutes les parties prenantes. Ce faisant, la Banque Triodos s'est efforcée d'expliquer le contexte de la suspension de la négociation des certificats et de tracer une approche viable pour rétablir la négociabilité des certificats. Il est regrettable que la Fondation ait choisi de prendre cette démarche, qui pourrait retarder le processus de cotation des certificats de la Banque Triodos sur une MTF et le rétablissement de la négociabilité. La Banque Triodos estime que la demande d'ordonner une enquête ne devrait pas être accordée et demandera donc à la Chambre d'entreprise de rejeter la demande.
