neutral  James (Jim) Davis: It is not the board of directors, "the board", but the statutory board of auditors. As such they don't really perform actions, but check things, inspect and audit they work rather than act.

  -> I used "board" simply for brevity, of course. Sorry that was not clear to you. The board's actions and the actions of the company in general are being ratified.
