Keeping in touch with shareholders

Article Abstract:

Private companies usually restrict share transfers and often grant pre-emption rights to shareholders to prevent changes in control of the company. Shareholders of public listed companies are seen more as investors, although the requirements of the 1985 Companies Act will apply to all types of companies. Shareholders should have the opportunity to attend and take part in shareholder meetings, especially the AGM. The majority of information available to shareholders will come from the company's annual report and accounts. The Hampel Report suggests various ways that companies should communicate with their private shareholders.
