Virtual general meeting

The new act to alleviate the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in company law creates an opportunity for the executive board, with the supervisory board’s consent, to arrange a virtual general meeting even without authorisation in the Articles of Association.

Therefore:

It is possible for a general meeting to be held without shareholders,
the executive board can specify that shareholders must have submitted their questions two days previously – and thus no active raising of questions in the general meeting,
the executive board can answer whatever it thinks it has a duty to answer,
shortened convening periods can be used (convening 21 days before the general meeting).

For this purpose, it is necessary for:

there to be audio-visual transmission of the general meeting, publicly or with a secure access code, and for
shareholders to be enabled to exercise their voting rights via electronic communication (postal voting or electronic participation) and to have the ability to designate proxies.
