Ivan Tchotourian 4 mai 2024
Intéressante publication il y a peu par le Financial Reporting Council sur les bonnes pratiques quant à la tenue d’une assemblée : « Good Practice Guidance for Company Meetings » (21 juillet 2022.
Un extrait de l’introduction est significatif sur le nécessaire dialogue qu’il doit y avoir :
« Companies should seek to maximise the participation and engagement of all types of shareholders on the register and, where appropriate, take advantage of the use of technology to increase participation and engagement. A company should use a combination of appropriate methods that it determines will work best for its shareholder base, in order to encourage engagement and maintain strong ties with shareholders ».
Résumé :
In July 2022, the FRC published company meetings guidance in the form of principles and actions that listed companies should consider adopting in order to enhance effective shareholder participation when planning and conducting AGMs and other general meetings. The guidance draws on the work of the FRCs AGM Working Group. Key aspects include board engagement with shareholders, communication of meeting arrangements, using proxies, and voting processes.

Le dernier BIS Research Paper se révèle intéressant sur la chaîne de détention d’actions (et sa complexité) : Exploring the intermediated shareholding model – BIS research paper 261 (BIS/16/20).
