Annual general meeting

The mandatory yearly meeting of holders: it approves the accounts and the distribution of profit and elects the board.

How to read the number

The one moment in the year when a shareholder formally takes part in governance: the vote on the payment and on the composition of the board happens here.

When the metric lies

It is held within the period statute allows after the year end, but the specific day is set by the company — and moved by the company.

Also known as: annual general meeting
