We have now published our AGM Alert 2017 guide for company
secretaries and general counsel of UK premium-listed companies. The
AGM Alert 2017 covers legal and regulatory changes, market practice
and recent guidance on topical issues.
The risks and uncertainties coming out of the political
developments of 2016 are yet to be fully assessed, but will have an
impact on this AGM and reporting season. The Brexit vote has also
triggered a renewed focus on the responsibility of business to
wider society. Companies should bear in mind these concerns, in
particular when setting out this year's pay proposals.
In addition, companies need to prepare to report on a range of
new issues. Not all of these disclosures have to be included in the
annual report, but equal care will be needed for website
disclosures.
