Horizon State's use case for your AGM
The traditional AGM is fast becoming obsolete as company and financial information are increasingly shared over the internet. Declining attendance at AGMs of ASX-listed companies has mirrored the global trend of shareholder apathy. This is due in part to the inconvenience caused by needing to physically be present to participate and vote. There is now a disconnect between AGM attendance rates and the time and financial costs to administer them.
International surveys of stakeholder groups show a clear desire for increased engagement and participation. They expect companies to listen and respond to those preferences. Polling by administration services provider Equinity showed that 76% of shareholders think companies should do more to encourage their engagement, while 44% said they would be more likely to attend Annual General Meetings that were held electronically.
The Horizon State platform is perfect for streamlining the engagement and voting process at your current AGM. It presents new and more cost-effective possibilities to review and modify how you structure your AGM in the future.
Businesses are trialing virtual AGM structures that could yield significant savings from mailout costs for notice of meetings, venue hire and other event overheads that are no longer needed. Horizon State makes voting and engagement a secure and trusted process within these decentralised AGM structures.
Horizon State makes participation in your AGM easy for your members, boosts member participation and engagement, adds trust and transparency to an otherwise closed-door voting process, and reduces the time and financial cost burdens incurred by your organisation in its AGM process.
