The international and local travel restrictions and "stay
at home" measures imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic
create a number of challenges for publicly listed companies seeking
to hold their 2020 AGMs in the coming months.
The specific rules relating to shareholder meetings will differ
for each company depending upon the provisions of their articles of
incorporation or association ("Articles"), so advice
needs to be sought on a case-by-case basis.
We have been advising Channel Islands clients listed on the
London and US markets on the impact of COVID-19 on upcoming general
meetings since February 2020. We act for more listed companies than
any other Channel Islands law firm and so are ideally placed to
provide timely, practical and cutting-edge advice to guide clients
through the current uncertainties.
