There are no shareholder deliberations by AdP SGPS which, by statutory imposition, may only be taken by a qualified majority, in addition to that legally stipulated, except for situations foreseen in no. 3 of article 11 of the statutes that reads as follows: “Three. Both in the first and in the second convening of the General Assembly, any deliberations over alterations to the contract, merger, demerger, transformation or dissolution of a company require approval by fifty-one percent of the votes corresponding to the capital.”
