Annual General Meeting financial
"Viking Holdings Ltd held its 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders virtually"
Board of Directors financial
"to serve as directors on the Board of Directors of the Company"
The Board of Directors is a group of people chosen by a company's owners to help make big decisions and oversee how the company is run. They act like a team of advisors or managers, making sure the company stays on track and meets its goals. Their choices can influence the company's success and how it grows.
independent registered public accounting firm financial
"Ernst & Young AS, an independent registered public accounting firm, as the Company’s auditor"
An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.
Audit Committee financial
"and to authorize the Audit Committee of the Board to fix their remuneration"
A company's audit committee is a small group of board members who act like independent inspectors for the firm's finances, overseeing how financial reports are prepared, monitoring internal controls, and managing the relationship with external auditors. Investors care because a strong audit committee reduces the risk of accounting errors, fraud, or misleading statements, making financial statements more trustworthy and helping protect shareholder value.
Bye-Laws regulatory
"were duly adopted by the requisite majority in accordance with the Company’s Bye-Laws"
Bye-laws are a company's internal rulebook that sets how the business runs day-to-day and how decisions are made, covering things like how meetings are held, how directors are appointed, and how shares can be transferred. For investors, bye-laws matter because they determine voting rights, who controls key decisions, and how easy it is to change ownership or corporate policy—think of them as the operating instructions that shape shareholder power and corporate behavior.
