Our Governance team can provide end-to-end management of your annual general meeting (AGM) and other general meetings. Alternatively, if managed in-house we can assist as required – for example, drafting the Notice of Meeting, circulating proxy voting reports, managing quorum arrangements, and making post-meeting filings and announcements.
Our experienced team has prepared and attended hundreds of listed company general meetings, from stadium events in front of 2,000 shareholders to five-minute affairs with a minimum quorum.
We take pride in our ability to cut through the jargon of AGM resolutions to help the Board make an informed decision as to what should be put to the shareholder vote. We also deal with the myriad practicalities that go into a successful meeting, such as ensuring a quorum will be present and dealing with shareholder queries.
Our shareholder meeting services include:
- Drafting the Notice of Meeting and proxy forms, including advice on standard resolutions and share authorities and governance code requirements
- Managing the printing and mailing of the Notice of Meeting in liaison with printers and registrars (also see Annual Report Review and Support)
- Drafting the Chair’s script and meeting minutes
- Provision of a dedicated email address for shareholder questions
- Attendance at the meeting and provision of advice on the day
- Operating the meeting registration desk and acting as meeting scrutineer, if required
- Drafting the meeting results announcement and submitting post-meeting filings with Companies House and, if required, the National Storage Mechanism
