Streamlining Electronic AGM Access
Post Date: March 21, 2025
In recent years, some platforms have improved the ease of shareholders attending AGMs in person, with ii and AJ Bell adopting the Broadridge service, which makes it easy to request a Letter of Representation for in-person attendance.
However, gaining access to AGMs electronically is often still cumbersome for all concerned. This is particularly the case for AGMs held on the widely used Lumi platform. To gain access a code must be obtained, which is not a concept Broadridge currently supports. Codes are ...

easyJet (EZJ) EGM Report August 2012
Post Date: August 21, 2012

is in the terminal ...

Cable’s Pay Review – A good first step
Post Date: March 15, 2012
PRESS RELEASE 20 (15/03/2012)
ShareSoc (the “UK Individual Shareholders Society”) welcomes the publication by Vince Cable’s B.I.S. Department of proposals for shareholders to have more say in the remuneration of public company directors.
We believe that the proposals for a forward looking binding vote on pay are essential and that the level of support for such a vote should be increased from the normal 50% to 75%, i.e. it should be made a special resolution to bring it into line with other important ...
