Boost shareholder turnout with fully automated, accessible, and auditable annual general meetings.
Abstract
The pandemic magnified the critical need for a robust digital infrastructure for shareholder meetings, and the adoption to online meetings is an opportunity to create a paradigm shift in this space.
A Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)-powered solution also enables transparency and immutability, boosting investor confidence and meeting regulatory requirements. The resolutions proposed and the voting results are cryptographically stored on the distributed ledger ensuring that they are tamper-proof. The ecosystem supports investors participating across geographies, eliminating the logistical challenges, and reducing the efforts in collecting votes. Computation of voting results can be conducted immediately, and the results can be announced within a shorter timeframe.
Challenge
The traditional world of general meetings (AGMs) has for long been challenged with ensuring sufficient investor participation and transparency. There are significant manual interventions leading to delayed and costly processes. The physical ballot voting process leads to delayed result announcements.
Solution
The General Meeting Services from Quartz is a cloud-ready, DLT-powered virtual meeting solution. The solution streamlines AGMs by introducing automation right from the setup to collection and consolidation of votes to real-time computation and dissemination of voting results upon closure.
Benefits
Modernize your AGMs for greater ease, security, and transparency
