Nyrstar: Resignation of Auditor to avoid
potential conflict of interest
26 June 2020 at 21.50 CEST
Nyrstar NV (the “Company”) today provides
an update in respect of certain litigation and the impact on the
mandate of Deloitte Bedrijfsrevisoren as the Company’s statutory
auditor.
As announced on 2 June 2020, on Friday 29
May 2020 a group of minority shareholders of the Company,
including Mr. Kris Vansanten, issued the Company and its
directors with a writ of summons to appear before the Turnhout
commercial court in Antwerp, Belgium.
The Company has been informed that Deloitte
Bedrijfsrevisoren, the Company’s auditor, has also received such
writ of summons in the same proceedings.
Deloitte Bedrijfsrevisoren has informed the
Company that it has carefully considered this writ of summons and
that it will defend itself against such claims and that, therefore,
considering the legal framework governing the independence of
auditors and to avoid any perception of potential conflicts of
interest arising in the future between the auditor, the Company and
its shareholders, it resigns as auditor of the Company as of 1 July
2020.
Deloitte Bedrijfsrevisoren will be present at
the general meetings of 30 June 2020 to explain its resignation to
the shareholders’ meetings and respond to any questions of the
shareholders regarding its report of 12 February 2020 on the annual
accounts ended 31 December 2019 within the framework set by
Belgian law.
In accordance with the legal framework
applicable to it, the Company will now seek the appointment of a
new auditor and will convene a shareholders’ meeting to propose the
appointment of such auditor as soon as such auditor is
identified.
