Corporate governance statement

Gimv applies the Belgian Corporate Governance Code for listed companies (2009) as its point of reference (www.corporategovernancecommittee.be).

The most important aspects of Gimv’s corporate governance policy are explained in its Corporate Governance Charter Gimv. The full text hereof is available on the website (www.gimv.com) and, on request, Gimv will send a hard copy by regular mail. Gimv regularly updates its Corporate Governance Charter whenever there are relevant developments. The most recent version was approved by the board of directors on 19 April 2011.

Changes and relevant events that occured during the past financial year 2010-2011, are amplified in the following corporate governance statement. In order to obtain a full picture, this chapter can however best be read together with the Corporate Governance Charter.
