Insight - Virtual forever? Switch to online AGMs gains pace


More than 50 households attended USJ 11/4 RA's first online AGM held on May 29 2021.

A mass corporate switch in Europe to holding virtual annual shareholder meetings (AGMs) has picked up pace this year, raising concern among investors that some companies will try to ditch the physical version permanently.

The pandemic prompted an overhaul of the way companies meet investors, with those in Britain relying on emergency laws to allow them to hold online AGMs in the 2020 season.
