Shareholder engagement policy

Motion Equity Partners has a Shareholder engagement policy that describes how it integrates its role as a shareholder into its investment strategy.

The monitoring of the strategy, financial performance, risks, capital structure, as well as the governance of the target company are instrumental in the selection of investments and the management of the funds’ portfolio holdings. To this end, the Management Company ensures that one or more members of the Investment Team sit on the oversight bodies of the portfolio companies, in particular to monitor business developments and major decisions.

Motion Equity Partners considers the exercise of voting rights to be a key act of management of the funds’ holdings and intends, except in justified cases, to fully fulfil its role of shareholder in the best interests of Investors. Motion Equity Partners exercises its rights in accordance with its own voting policy, mainly by physically attending general meetings and ensuring that no voting decision might place it in a situation of conflicts of interest. For more information on the votes cast, please contact Motion Equity Partners.

The Shareholder engagement policy is made available to the AMF and to any investors upon submitting a request.
