Schedule 1: The financial statement for the financial years 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 in English & years  2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 in French

Schedule 4: A proxy and voting form in French (for signing)
Schedule 5: The English translation of the proxy and voting form

Concerning the Extraordinary General Meeting, the decision of the Extraordinary General Meeting to amend the Constitution must be adopted in the presence of a Belgian Notary public for it to be valid according to the Belgian Code on companies and associations. However, a Belgian Notary public cannot act outside the Belgian territory. Consequently, a second Extraordinary General Meeting with the same agenda will take place within three weeks following the initial Extraordinary General Meeting, physically in the presence of Belgian Notary public Edouard-Jean Navez, whose office is located at Rue Saint Roch 28, 1300 Wavre.

For this second Extraordinary General Meeting, we kindly request that you grant a proxy either to each employee of the firm of Notaries Jacques WATHELET and Edouard-Jean NAVEZ in Wavre, Rue Saint Roch, 28, each acting individually, who will be present before the Notary public to formalize the adoption of the amended Constitution. Enclosed, please find a template proxy and a voting form that the Secretary will request Members with voting authority to complete during the Extraordinary General Meeting on May 8, 2024.

Should you be unable to attend the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meeting on May 8, 2024, may we please ask that you send the original version of your duly completed and signed proxy and voting form to the Secretary at the latest by May 8, 2024 to the following address: Prof Lakshmi Nagarajan, Secretary, International Child Neurology Association, c/o Me Edouard-Jean Navez, Rue Saint Roch, 28, 1300 Wavre, Belgium. It is important to note that the proxy should be completed exclusively in French; failure to do so will result in your proxy being invalid. Furthermore, if you neglect to designate the proxy holders specified in this convening notice, your proxy will not be taken into consideration. Finally, if the proxy is completed but not the voting form, you will be presumed to vote in favor of all decisions.

Active members may, in accordance with article 12 of the Bylaws of the Association, submit items to be placed on the agenda of the Ordinary General Meeting providing notification to the Secretary three months prior to the Meeting.

Best regards,
Lakshmi Nagarajan
Secretary
