Annual Shareholder Meetings _and_amp; SOX/Corporate Governance 466
-
Hi,
Just a quick question. Does anybody know if there are any elements of SOX, or any kind of other corporate governance guidelines or ethics, which provide any guidance on where/when your annual shareholder meeting should be held? For instance, if a large majority of your shareholders are based in a certain geography, is it recommended you have your AGM in that area? I know common sense says yes, but i’m looking for anything codified that relates to this…
any and all help is much appreciated.
thanks,

NOT SOX.
The hows and whys of shareholder meetings are normally governed in the incorporation documents of the company e.g. articles of association.

thanks much for the info. So it doesn’t sound like there is any possible corporate governance case my company could make for moving a shareholder meeting from one location to another…
best,

For what it’s worth AGMs are normally held in, or near, the Company’s headquarters.
