The New New Thing
Dear members,
I hope this letter finds you and your beloved ones safe and and well prepared for the next future everyone is talking about…
For AMFIE the "new new thing" will definitely be our next virtual Annual General Meeting and its electronic voting. We have rapidly coped with the delicate environment and adapted our processes for this challenge that has proved very enlightening for us. Indeed, over 65,000 shares have already been registered into the new voting system to date, positively comparing to last year's approximate 61,000. Well done and thank you for playing the game. After our Annual General Meeting, we will assess whether and how to continue such a system. However, I am not quite sure I will keep on making videos for the Annual General Meeting: enough with screens and "social virtuality", back to real, instant direct interactions with people!
Keep safe and good vote
