ASM Group SA shareholders at the extraordinary shareholder meeting decided to file lawsuits against former president, Adam Staczak. At the same time, decisions were taken to remove doubts about the representation of the company.

I am convinced that the General Assembly and the decisions of the majority of shareholders end this difficult time for the company. There is one properly appointed board of directors in ASM Group SA, consisting of Dorota Kenny, Jacek Pawlak and Andrzej Nowak – says Dorothy Kenny. The priority of the Board of Directors is to support the operational activity and development of the group.
