New obligations for traded companies to provide confirmation of voting to shareholders
16 July 2020
New regulations, which come into force on 3 September 2020, will require traded companies to provide a confirmation of receipt of votes cast on a poll by electronic means. In addition, shareholders will have the right to request information from the company to help them determine that, where they have cast their vote on a resolution by way of poll at a general meeting, their vote has been validly recorded and counted.
