Samsung Electronics announced in a public announcement the day before, “We are planning to hold a regular shareholders’ meeting on March 17th, and we will introduce online broadcasting for the first time this year for shareholder convenience.”
This is the second major domestic company that introduced the online shareholders’ meeting after last year. With this Untact Shareholders Meeting, minority shareholders of Samsung Electronics can watch it in real time and participate in questions by agenda.
Meanwhile, under the current law, it is impossible for shareholders to vote on an agenda while watching the online broadcast on the day of the shareholders’ meeting. For this reason, shareholders must exercise their voting rights through electronic voting in advance or apply for an exercise by proxy. Since last year, Samsung Electronics introduced the’electronic voting system’ so that shareholders can exercise their voting rights without attending the shareholders’ meeting. · Lotte Group also decided to introduce the electronic voting system.
