During the first quarter of the year, local Corporations hold annual general shareholders' meetings where management informs investors about the company's current status and plans. In these meetings, financial statements are approved; in some cases, the Board of Directors, external auditors, and risk rating companies are renewed, and dividend payments are approved.
At the closing of April, DCV Registros, a subsidiary of DCV, reported 134 shareholders' meetings, representing an increase of 15% compared with the 117 meetings held in 2021. The following is a detailed description of the meetings: 34 were held remotely, 12 in a hybrid format, 59 with remote support, and 29 in the traditional manner. The above proves that the pandemic and its commuting and attendance restrictions led to a change whose trend is yet to be seen.
Let's analyze the companies that are part of the IPSA index and that used the Click&Vote system - a blockchain technology-based solution - offered by DCV in a partnership with the Santiago Stock Exchange and that allows holding these meetings remotely, 49% (13 out of the 29 corporations) chose this option.
“We believe that the benefits in terms of efficiency and time allow us to anticipate that hybrid or 100% remote shareholders' meetings are here to stay, regardless of the country's or the world's health situation. Especially where shareholders live abroad and must attend several meetings on the same day”,
Claudio Garín, DCV Operations and Services Manager.
