Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by Criteo S.A. on December 29, 2021. The report details a corporate governance action taken on December 28, 2021, regarding the company's American Depositary Shares (ADSs) and the rights of their holders.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide a clear value for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report focuses exclusively on a material definitive agreement and does not contain financial performance data.
Material Changes
The primary material change reported is the entry into an Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement with the Bank of New York Mellon. This agreement modifies the voting rights of ADS holders. Specifically, if an ADS holder fails to provide voting instructions for a shareholder meeting, the Depositary is now authorized to grant a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company. This proxy allows the designee to vote on agenda items and against any matters subsequently added to the agenda. This change was implemented to restore voting practices consistent with those prior to the adoption of France's PACTE law.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing contains no management guidance, financial outlook, or discussion of general business risks. The only contingency noted is the specific voting mechanism triggered when ADS holders do not provide instructions, which is now governed by the amended agreement to ensure compliance with applicable French law.
