Direct voting: welcoming AGMs to the 21st Century

Direct voting is a form of voting that allows shareholders to cast their vote, either online or by completing a voting form, on resolutions of a general meeting without having to attend the meeting in person or appoint a proxy or corporate representative to vote on their behalf. By enabling direct voting at your company’s general meetings, shareholders are able to have full control over their votes and can promptly and securely vote without the need to physically attend. The convenience of direct voting may also encourage greater shareholder engagement and participation.
