Canadian securities regulators provide updated guidance on virtual shareholder meetings
Feb 25, 2022
On February 25, 2022, staff of the Canadian Securities Administrators provided issuers with their guidance on holding virtual shareholder meetings. Given the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, many reporting issuers have adopted a virtual format for their shareholder meetings. These meetings are typically conducted either entirely virtually, in place of an in-person meeting, or through a “hybrid” format held in-person while also permitting participation via electronic means. Accordingly, the CSA staff felt it appropriate to issue this new release with their recommendations for such meetings.
