Minutes of an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders
This is contained in the minutes of the meeting.
There are several headings:
1. OUVERTURE DE L'ASSEMBLEE
2. DOCUMENTS REMIS
3. ORDRE DU JOUR
4. EXPOSES
5. RESOLUTIONS
Under the heading EXPOSES there are a couple of paragraphs on administrators who have resigned and new administrators who have been appointed.
I just can't seem to find a suitable word.
It's a Swiss document and I'm translating it into GB English.
TIA

ooops, sorry Maria did not read your descriptive notes.
You can discount the above.
I offer in its place "Directors" or, if you prefer,
"Membership of the board of directors"

I know Sylvia - I jumped into this one far too quickly and without reading the sub-text (shame on me)

Sylvia Smith
: To me, "presentations" on the agenda would indicate, for example, that someone from the strategy committee is going to give a strategy review (PowerPoint presentation). // Ah, yes, after reading your note, I understand.

: Yes. It could be "reports" or "reviews" of the company's/institution's situation, too, depending on context.
