Annual General Meeting (AGM)

Written for sgstocksbrief.com.

The meeting a company holds each year at which the shareholders vote on the matters reserved to them: adopting the audited accounts, re-electing retiring directors, appointing the auditors, and approving directors' fees and any final dividend. Singapore-incorporated companies must hold one under the Companies Act, and an SGX-listed issuer must give notice of it through SGXNet, which is why AGM notices appear on this site's calendars.
