The Annual General Meeting is the corporate body in which our shareholders make use of their membership rights and practice their voting rights. As a matter of principle, each share entitles to the same voting rights ("One share - one vote").
adidas AG holds its Annual General Meeting within the first six months of each financial year. The Annual General Meeting particularly resolves upon the appropriation of retained earnings, ratification of the actions of the Executive Board and of the Supervisory Board, changes to the Articles of Association, and on measures to increase or reduce capital as well as on the appointment of the auditor. Furthermore, the Annual General Meeting elects the shareholder representatives to the Supervisory Board.
