Clause title:
Basically its inviting the shareholders to approve the accounts.
It's the word "destinazione" that is bugging me. I suppose there must be a set translation.

Clearly the author just copied and pasted from the year before (or before that) when there was a profit, because "destinazione della perdita" is quite a conjuring trick. It should be "Proposta per la copertura della perdita di esercizio", Which would be "proposal to cover losses for the year". You can either 1) translate the mistake, 2) phone the client 3) correct the mistake in translation. I would probably phone the client.

Note from asker:
| Thank you very much for all your precious help today, Jim. The only worry I have is that there was a loss, not a profit. How can I word that, please? |
