[라이센스뉴스 정재혁 기자] Samsung Electronics announced on the 7th that it has opened the’electronic voting system’ on the 7th to allow shareholders to exercise their voting rights online ahead of the 52nd regular shareholders’ meeting held at the Suwon Convention Center in Gyeonggi-do on the 17th.
Shareholders can exercise their voting rights on each agenda in advance without attending the shareholders’ meeting through electronic voting from 9 am on the 7th to 5 pm on the 16th.
Samsung Electronics introduced the electronic voting system from last year. Electronic voting is designed so that shareholders can easily and conveniently exercise their voting rights regardless of time or physical constraints such as the date or location of the shareholders’ meeting.
Shareholders can use either PC or mobile to access the system in a way that they are comfortable with, and after confirming the shareholders’ identity, they can exercise electronic voting for each agenda.
As a certificate for confirming shareholders, a certificate for Koscom securities transaction or a certificate for personal use restriction of KFTC can be used.
In the notification of convening the 52nd regular shareholders’ meeting sent by Samsung Electronics to shareholders, Chairman Park Jae-wan and vice chairman Kim Ki-nam said, “It is expected that it will be difficult to attend the shareholders’ meeting this year due to COVID-19.” Please exercise your voting rights,” he asked shareholders.
For the first time this year, Samsung Electronics is broadcasting the general shareholders’ meeting online for shareholders who cannot attend the general shareholders’ meeting.
Prior application is required to watch online broadcasts, and shareholders can apply on the application site from 9 am on the 7th to 5 pm on the 16th, which is the same as the e-voting event period.
Samsung Electronics plans to receive prior questions for shareholders who will watch the online broadcast, and shareholders can watch the broadcast on the day of the shareholders’ meeting and ask questions in real time.
Samsung Electronics’ agenda at this general shareholders’ meeting is ▲approval of financial statements ▲appointment of outside/inside directors ▲appointment of outside directors to become members of the audit committee ▲approval of the compensation limit for directors.
However, according to the current law, it is impossible to vote online on the agenda of the shareholders’ meeting while watching the online broadcast on the day of the shareholders’ meeting.
