During the meeting, the company's management team presents a report on the company's performance over the past year and its plans for the future. Shareholders also have the opportunity to vote on proposals put forward by the company's management and by other shareholders. In some cases, shareholders may also propose their own resolutions for consideration.
Annual meetings are important for shareholders as it gives them an opportunity to get an update on the company's performance and to provide input on important decisions affecting the company. It is also an opportunity for shareholders to hold the company's management accountable for their actions and to express their views on the company's direction and strategy.
Here are five excellent questions that shareholders can ask when seeking information about Annual Meetings:
- What steps has the company taken in response to proposals that received significant support from shareholders?
- Why doesn't the company provide more time for shareholders to ask questions?
- If you were in the shareholders' position, what are the two or three most important questions you would ask the CEO and what would be your answers to those questions?
