Book excerpt: "This Consulation Document addresses the subject of annual general meetings (AGMs)...In principle at least, AGMs are the key mechanism for promoting transparency and accountability in the magement of company affairs. But in practice there is wide agreement that they do not usually achieve these objectives very satisfactorily. We therefore believe that it is important to take a fundamental look at the way in which the present law operates, and that we should not shrink from considering radical options. There are two approaches to this task. One is to abandon the requirement on public companies to hold an AGM, and for the law to provide other means of achieving its objectives; the other is to maintain the requirement to hold an AGM and to seek incremental improvements in the law. These are not mutually exclusive. This Consultation Document considers the issues in some detail." -- from the Introduction, p. 1.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of this handbook is to create a comprehensive knowledge base on the broad and sometimes misunderstood topic of investor relations, the center of most corporate communications programs. The approach taken was to first develop a thorough understanding of Wall Street itself. Having been a Fortune 25 Investor Relations Director as well as a Sr. Equity Analyst and Equity Research Director, the perception of what is needed by the financial community is quite different than what many investor relations officers believe. Driving a "hyperactive" Investor Relations program is the ultimate aim of this text. The author believes that the insight provided herein will enable new IROs to best understand their new profession and enable existing practitioners to add additional elements to their marketing programs that will enhance shareholder understanding and value.

Download or read book Shareholders Meeting and the Internet written by Ulrich Noack and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper in German language examines the impact of the internet on shareholder meetings. The author describes the steps that the German legislature has been taken towards a shareholder meeting that is based primarily on the internet, rather than the personal attendance of shareholders (as in Germany today), or a merely formal procedure (as in the U.S. today). He finds that much has been done, but more needs to be done: Traditionally, German shareholder meetings fulfill three functions: shareholders should receive information, they should communicate among each others and discuss with the board of management, as well as the supervisory board, and, finally, they should decide (voting). Strike suits, apathy of (apparently rational) foreign investors, and a lack of skill of small investors exposed the traditional concept of shareholder meetings to criticism, and drive the shareholder meeting towards a merely formal, voting-oriented procedure - a development, which we observed - f.e. - in the U.S. as well.The author holds that the internet provides solutions to these problems. He draws an idealistic picture of a legal environment that is based on a totally virtual shareholder meeting (though the expression itself might not fit anymore in the future): all shareholders will have equal access to internet-based information. Communication among shareholders and with the board will become more relevant in internet-based discussion forums than they are in a world, in which institutional shareholders look for informational advantages, small shareholders look for private benefits, and managers look for a way to avoid clear statements vis-a-vis shareholders. A merely internet-based, cross-border voting will represent a higher proportion of shareholders than today. The might of the net will help bind managers and shareholders to the interests of the firm.
Download or read book Public Company Communication Engagement and Accountability written by Gill North and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The annual general meeting was introduced as an essential element of the public company governance model. However, the usefulness of these meetings is being increasingly questioned both in Australia and elsewhere. The article initially examines the role of annual general meetings in Australia. Proposals to enhance the value of these meetings are reviewed. The efficacy of annual general meetings is then discussed within the broader context of public company communication, engagement and accountability. Most listed company exchanges involving governance and operational matters occur during private meetings with institutional attendees. The public discourse tends to be limited and sanitised. The article argues that the rationales and assumptions underlying this hierarchical communication structure are deeply flawed. Annual general meetings provide a limited forum once a year for shareholders to meet and directly question company directors. Broader and more robust governance and accountability mechanisms will only emerge when listed companies are required to utilise available digital technologies to communicate and regularly engage with all of their stakeholders (and critics) in the public arena. Public corporations are privileged legal constructs, and as such, they should be compelled to communicate with, and to remain accountable to, the public at large.

Download or read book Walk the Talk Shareholders Soft Engagement at Annual General Meetings written by Alix Auzepy and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The right to ask questions and voice their opinions at annual general meetings (AGMs) represents one of the few avenues for shareholders to communicate directly and publicly with the firm's management. Examining AGM transcripts of U.S. companies between 2007 and 2021, we find that shareholders actively express their concerns about environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues in accordance with their specific relationship with the company. Further, they are also demonstrably more vocal about ESG issues at AGMs of firms with poor sustainability performance. What is more, we show that this soft engagement translates into a more negative tone which, in turn, results in lower approval rates for management proposals. Shareholders' soft engagement at AGMs is hence an effective way to "walk the talk".
