EQS Group facilitate the first virtual AGM in the UK
DGAP-Media / 30.08.2016 / 10:38
EQS Group successfully supported the first virtual AGM by a listed company
in the UK, which was held by the FTSE250 luxury shoe specialist Jimmy Choo
PLC. Shareholders located across the globe were able to take part in the
2016 AGM virtually, watch the presentation and ask questions due to the
solutions of EQS Group, a leading international technology provider for
Digital Investor Relations.
EQS provided a live presentation and an additional teleconference to make
the event accessible to all shareholders, regardless of their location. In
fact, shareholders from three different time zones followed the meeting.
The EQS technologies allowed shareholders to follow the meeting via
different devices like desktop computers, smartphones and tablets. A secure
authentication process ensured that only authorised shareholders could
enter the meeting. Questions could be asked via telephone conference, which
was provided and managed by EQS including professional operator support.
For voting purposes Jimmy Choo used the Lumi AGM Mobile platform.
"It's an honour for us to be chosen as partner for the first virtual AGM in
the UK ever", says Ania Wojtus, Director at EQS Group Limited in London and
explains: "In today's day and age, most institutional investors prefer to
cast their vote electronically. It makes sense for companies to take
advantage of technology and hold virtual meetings online so that
shareholders can watch, listen, ask questions and vote wherever they are."
Peter Harf, Chairman of Jimmy Choo PLC, is happy with the AGM: "We are very
pleased with the outcome of this process, which achieved its aim of
broadening shareholder access to our AGM in the most convenient way
possible. This was in good part due to our technology partner's innovative
approach to modernising the traditional AGM."
