Frequently asked questions about Annual General Meetings

Questions & answers regarding the hybrid and virtual Annual General Meeting

We can conduct this combination of the Annual General Meeting in presence and virtually for you as a hybrid Annual General Meeting. Your shareholders can either follow the meeting in the stream or participate in presence.

Shareholders can also submit queries during a digital Annual General Meeting within a time limit.

From a purely technical point of view, it is possible for shareholders to speak live during the event. We offer you the technical possibilities. Simply let us advise you.

Dynamic camera movement also makes the virtual AGM look more lively to the viewer. We use, for example, camera cranes, steadycams and others. We are also happy to support you with graphic elements such as belly bands, the use of a green screen and other solutions.

This is one of the most important questions when planning and implementing a virtual shareholders’ meeting. The topic of redundancy is individually adapted depending on the stock corporation and security needs. We would be happy to discuss this with you.

We will be happy to support you in finding a suitable location for your virtual or hybrid general meeting. Use one of our streaming studios technically equipped to your needs or one of our partner locations. We know the location market very well and will be happy to advise you.

Questions & Answers on the Annual General Meetings in Presence

Voting via tablet is already possible at the Annual General Meeting. The advantages are obvious: quick and easy evaluation and 99 percent certainty of results. More and more stock corporations are using this option at their Annual General Meeting. Contact us if you are interested in digital voting.

When holding a general meeting, there is a purely legal claim to the understood word, i.e. the guarantee of comprehensive sound reinforcement. This refers not only to the meeting location, but also to all relevant presence areas, such as the corridors and sanitary areas. We are familiar with the legal requirements of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and have the appropriate technical solutions ready for all requirements.

On the basis of the German Stock Corporation Act, the shareholder is entitled to speak and ask questions as well as to cast votes during the annual general meeting. Only through comprehensive audio transmission can the organizer ensure that the shareholder can exercise his rights.

An independent acoustics office measures and documents the speech intelligibility in the entire presence area during the HV.

The German Stock Corporation Act stipulates that a Annual General Meeting must be concluded within one calendar day. This means that the chairman of the meeting must have closed the meeting by 11:59 p.m. on the scheduled day, otherwise it is invalid and must be repeated. G+B supports you in complying with this requirement with individually tailored speaking time limitation systems.
