AGM becomes dAGM
Go online with your general meeting
Postponed until further notice:
Large events are currently prohibited – including annual general meetings (AGMs) of public limited companies. However, shareholders have a right to information from the company in which they invest. The way out of this dilemma is to simply hold your AGM digitally!
AGM becomes dAGM: “d” as in digital
An amendment to the law makes this possible. Annual general meetings of stock corporations no longer have to take place physically; they may also be held entirely online.
Benefit now from the new possibilities of interaction with your shareholders. Save on effort and therefore money. Demonstrate a sense of sustainability and future viability. Be on your way into the digital age with your dAGM now.
How does that work? We’ll show you.
Turn the crisis into your opportunity
In addition to many negative developments, the coronavirus crisis also presents opportunities, especially in terms of digitalization.
A year ago, nobody would have thought it possible that even ordinary general meetings of DAX companies could be held online.
Be a pioneer and use the advantages of a digital AGM now:
- Voting becomes easier
Election of the Supervisory Board; amendments to the Articles of Association; capital increases and restructuring measures; determination of the dividend amount: these and other important decisions are made by the Annual General Meeting. Voting can now be automated thanks to new technical possibilities of the dAGM. This saves enormous effort and reduces the susceptibility to errors when counting votes.
- The effort is reduced
If the participants do not have to be on site in person, this saves money – on catering as well as on travel and accommodations of the guests. A smaller location is then sufficient for a digital AGM. And not to forget: the logistics behind it all! At an AGM that takes place purely online, this too is much smaller – a plus point for sustainability.
- The participation of members is increasing
Whether from home, on the road or the office: shareholders can exercise their voting rights from anywhere. In addition, information is more easily accessible and completely visible on an online platform – ideally supplemented by interaction options. All this increases the participation of members.
Always by your side
Holding an Annual General Meeting online instead of physically means more than just changing location. Therefore, more is required than the mere transmission of data.
You need a concept that is digital from the start. You need a user-friendly platform that allows your stream to run smoothly, no matter what device you use. And you need numbers, data and facts that are clearly presented using infographics, films and presentations.
Maybe you also need a speech, a press release, a survey, a content–management system or an integration into existing digital structures.
We will gladly help you with all of these tasks.
Our team is interdisciplinary and combines IT with content and consulting skills. We will advise you from the idea and planning to the setup and implementation of your digital general meeting.
