BELGIUM-BANKING-FORTIS-BNP
Lawyer Mischael Modrikamen, representing some Fortis group shareholders, arrives on April 28, 2009 for a shareholders meting in the northern Belgian city of Ghent. The saga over stricken financial group Fortis comes to a climax on April 28 as shareholders prepared for a crunch vote on the sale the biggest Belgian bank to BNP Paribas. About 3,300 shareholders gathered for the decisive vote, which could end months of uncertainty for the group. A second vote is to be held on April 29 in the Dutch city of Utrecht. Some minority shareholders are lobbying to block the sale of Fortis Bank, the parent company's former Belgian banking arm that was taken over by the Belgian government. Chinese insurance giant giant Ping An, which is Fortis Holding's biggest shareholder with a 4.8 percent stake, said over the weekend that it would vote against the sale, which it said represented a bad deal.
