The Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) provides a forum for shareholders and the board of directors to share information, have discussions and make decisions. Ahead of the 2021 AGM season, this article identifies some of the common scenarios and issues that can arise at the AGM and the recommended solutions. An emphasis has been placed on the delivery of Hybrid or Virtual Meetings as well as the rise of shareholder activism.
COVID-19 has forced many businesses without websites or digital communication tools to implement solutions to communicate and interact with their customers. However, while 87% of senior business leaders agree that digitalisation is a company priority, only 40% of organisations brought digital initiatives to scale in 2020. BoardRoom was quick to adapt and support clients by implementing solutions such as the Annual General Meeting (AGM) landing page, a dedicated web page allowing clients to host vital shareholder information including Financial Reports, the Notice of Meeting and important meeting details.
