Business Wire
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."
