Modernizing Annual Shareholder Meetings

Company meetings for shareholders have traditionally been the only occasion that investors can learn what the company has achieved, its plans and to give direct feedback to the board and management.

In 2017 the Companies Act 1993 was amended to provide an annual meeting need not be held when any one of three conditions is met.

Attendees will learn:

• Annual meeting notice requirements
• How to create a successful annual company meeting (marketing opportunity!)
• Conditions to waive the meeting
• What must be reported to whom and when
• Procedures and example resolutions

LEARNING OUTCOMES
