The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has upended the economic and social practices of countries worldwide. On the business front, virtual shareholder meetings are held in place of in-person meetings. This looks set to be a semi-permanent feature given the length of prolonged lockdowns globally and uncertainty of when the pandemic will draw to a close. This session highlights the issues that boards and management alike have to consider as they transition to virtual shareholder meetings:

• Technology considerations and challenges
• Governance challenges
• New corporate governance practices
• Board’s readiness for virtual AGMs

Hear from the perspectives of Jerry Koh, Joint Managing Partner, Allen & Gledhill and Shariq Barmaky, Regional Managing Partner (Audit & Assurance), Deloitte Southeast Asia as they share their experience thus far and how they are looking forward. They will then be joined by Adrian Chan, Senior Partner, Lee & Lee on a panel discussion.
