On the morning of this Friday, March 25, the Sura Group shareholders meeting was held in Medellín, in which the new board of directors that will lead the business group until 2024 would be decided. This meeting was attended by the new important Gilinski Group entrepreneurs who recently acquired shares, who took two important positions on the board of directors.
The meeting was held in the Plaza Mayor of Medellín, where Jaime and Gabriel Gilinski held their second meeting with the leaders of the Antioquian Business Group (GEA). In the middle of the meeting, all the entrepreneurs voted to decide who will be the next members of the board of directors, which is divided between patrimonial and independent members.
According to Semana, in order to carry out the elections, each business group that is part of the conglomerate (Argos, Nutresa and Gilinski) presents a 'plate' of candidates to occupy the respective positions. After the counting of the votes, which took more than 50 minutes, the new board was defined and the Gilinskis secured two seats in it.
The first to be part of Sura's governing body was Gabriel Gilinski, who becomes a member of the governing board because he belongs to the Gilinski Group. In addition to him, the other patrimonial members selected in the vote were Jaime Velásquez, president of the Argos Group; Alejandro Piedrahita, vice president of Corporate Finance at Grupo Argos and Carlos Ignacio Gallego, president of Grupo Nutresa.
The votes that each of them received, as revealed by the review that is part of the Gilinski Group, positioned Gabriel Gilinski as the most voted among the patrimonial members. Gabriel Gilinski with 32.9% of the votes; followed by Alejandro Piedrahita with 20.1%; Jorge Mario Velásquez with 19.9% and Carlos Ignacio Gallego 19.6%.
On the other hand, in the members of Sura's board of directors who are independent, Gilinski also managed to have the participation of lawyer José Luis Suárez. In addition to this man, the other members of the board of directors who are independent are Jaime Bermudez and María Carolina Arango, candidates nominated on the plates of Argos and Nutresa, respectively.
Gilinski's nominees to Sura's board of directors in both cases were Jaime Gilinski, Gabriel Gilinski and Ricardo Diaz Romero for the estate members. While the independent part included José Luis Suárez Parra, Christian Murrle, Angela María Tafur and Ricardo Fandiño de la Calle.
The appointment of José Luis Suárez to the board of directors is important because, in previous days, the newspaper La República had detailed that this man might have inabilities to be part of the board of directors group. This is because Suarez is an alternate member of the Board of Directors of Banco J.P. Morgan Colombia S.A.; however, they had emphasized that the conflict could easily be overcome if the man resigned from that position.
It should be noted that after the Gilinski Group made two Public Takeover Offerings (OPA) to acquire shares in this conglomerate, it became the majority shareholder with 31.5% stake. While the Argos Group has 27.6%, Nutresa 13% and Cementos Argos 6%.
According to La República, during the meeting held this morning in Medellín, the shareholders also approved the profit distribution project, which approves the payment of a dividend of $784 per share on 579.2 million ordinary and preferential shares. “The dividend will be paid in cash as follows: $196 per title on the following dates: April 1, 2022, July 1, 2022, October 3, 2022 and January 2, 2023 ″, explained the economic environment.
In the middle of the meeting, the management reports of the board that was in recent years, as well as the consolidated and separate financial statements for 2021, were also presented and approved.
