Triodos Bank’s shares and management
Triodos Bank is a European bank with branches in The Netherlands (Zeist), Belgium (Brussels), the United Kingdom (Bristol), Spain (Madrid) and Germany (Frankfurt). The head office is in The Netherlands.
SAAT - Foundation for the Administration of Triodos Bank Shares
Triodos Bank believes it is crucial that its mission and identity is protected. As a result, all Triodos Bank's shares are held in trust by SAAT - the Foundation for the Administration of Triodos Bank Shares. SAAT then issues depository receipts for Triodos Bank shares to the public and to institutions. These depository receipts represent the monetary shares of Triodos Bank NV. In addition, they exercise voting rights for the Triodos Bank NV shares. SAAT's Board of Management's voting decisions are guided by the Bank's ethical goals and mission, its business interests, and the interests of the depository receipt holders.
Triodos Bank depositary receipts are not listed on any stock exchange. Instead, the Bank maintains an internal market.
Depository receipt holders
Depository receipt holders are entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting of depository receipt holders. Each depository receipt holder is limited to a maximum of 1,000 votes. The Annual General Meeting of depository receipt holders appoints the members of the Board of SAAT, based on its recommendations. These recommendations must be approved by Triodos Bank’s Statutory Directors. No depository receipt holder may hold 10 per cent or more of all issued depository receipts.
Supervisory Board
