BACKGROUND PART I
PRESS COVERAGE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AGMs – WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY

‘Perhaps it is time to end the big expensive set-piece AGMs and hold virtual meetings online so that shareholders can watch and listen wherever they are. Questions could be asked by phone or through a website. Voting could be done electronically. In the US, companies (…) have held so-called hybrid AGMs, where some participate in person and others through virtual means, but none have done so far in UK.’

Baroness Denise Kingsmill, NED of various British, European and US boards (as published in Management Today)

‘Companies need to invest in understanding their audiences so that they can proactively address their interests and concerns within the materials presented at the meeting instead of waiting for the Q&A session. Companies now have countless choices in terms of communication methods and should take full advantage of all the options available to them.’

Paul Seccombe, VP Finance, EMEA at Symantec (as published on Economist Insights)

‘Financial journalist Avital Louria Hahn and I were interlocutors of a sort, reading questions and comments coming in over the web and conveying them into the physical meeting. We were inspired by Berkshire Hathaway, which asked shareholders to email their questions in advance of its annual meeting to three financial journalists who then posed the best ones at the live event.’

Neil Stewart (as published on IR Magazine)

BACKGROUND PART II
RESEARCH ARTICLES ABOUT AGM and shareholder involvement

‘Online participation in shareholder meetings is a practical way to broaden the participation base and render it more likely that votes taken at the general meeting are representative of the views of the shareholder body.’

Bob Austin and Michelle Milligan of MinterEllison

‘Companies that switch to virtual-only shareholder meetings also realize efficiencies in the meeting process. A company that abandons the traditional in-person meeting is able to eliminate the cost, time and effort involved with organizing and holding a shareholder meeting at a physical location. The virtual-only shareholder meeting also adds flexibility for busy directors who can participate from anywhere. Some companies believe that it provides a better forum for the shareholder Q&A portion of the meeting because questions furnished by shareholders in advance can be considered and addressed more fully.’

Donald Ainscow and Harva Dockery of Norton Rose Fulbright

‘We find that shareholder participation, especially the participation of retail investors, is greatly enhanced after the firm adopts online meeting. This effect is more pronounced when the cost of physically attending AGM is higher, suggesting that the cost of physically attending the meeting is an important factor leading to low participation of shareholders who would otherwise like to attend.’

Huasheng Gao (Nanyang Business School) and Jun Huang (Shanghai University of Finance and Economics)
