Managing discussion and shareholders' questions—listed company AGMs—checklist

Managing discussion and shareholders' questions—listed company AGMs—checklist This checklist provides guidance on the questions and discussions at Annual General Meetings (AGMs) of listed public companies and AIM companies. It covers legal aspects, corporate governance best practice and practical guidance, as well as tips for the chair and company secretary in preparing for debate and unexpected events at a company's AGM. The chair of the meeting is responsible for managing discussion at the meeting and must do so in an impartial manner. It is the chair’s role to keep discussion under control and to decide when to close discussion on a particular matter once they consider that it has been debated sufficiently and has enabled a range of views to be heard. When the UK was a member of the EU, Directive 2007/36/EC (the Shareholder Rights Directive) codified the right of shareholders to have questions answered at general meetings. The Directive was implemented in the UK by the Companies (Shareholders' Rights) Regulations 2009 which amended Part 13 of the Companies Act...

Notices—commercial contracts

PurposeA notices clause is often included in an agreement to ensure that each party has certainty and clarity in relation to formal communications between the parties and the giving of notices to, and the receipt of notices from, the other parties to the agreement. In the absence of a notices clause, default statutory provisions may apply (see Statutory provisions below).Compliance with a notices clause is likely to be essential in a number of different contractual scenarios. It is commonly relevant, for example, when extending (or preventing the extension of) the term of a commercial contract or if informing the other party of a dispute, breach of warranty or an indemnity claim.The courts have applied the law relating to unilateral contract notices when considering if an option has been validly exercised.ContentA notices clause often includes provisions specifying:•that the notice must be given in writing•that the notice should be given in English•whether the clause applies to notices given in relation to legal proceedings or other forms of dispute resolution•whether the notice can...

Terminating commercial contracts

Termination—contractual and common law rightsAs commercial lawyers, we are used to being instructed to advise in connection with the formation of a commercial relationship. Even if, like family lawyers drafting pre-nuptial agreements, we anticipate the consequences of the end of the relationship, it is only in more recent economic times that we are being asked more frequently how to break the relationship in the first place.It is important to remember that rights to terminate a contract may arise at common law (for example, in the event of repudiatory breach) and under the express terms of the contract. Where an agreement is silent as to contract termination, in the event of a dispute, the courts will apply common law principles. To avoid uncertainty, parties often include express contractual clauses which provide for the termination of a contract. In general, contractual rights to terminate are in addition to, and not in substitution for, common law rights. Absent express wording to the contrary, the ordinary assumption is that a contractual right to terminate...

If administrators of a policyholder did not notify insurers of a claim against the policyholder within the 28-day time limit stated in the policy, can insurers reject cover?

If administrators of a policyholder did not notify insurers of a claim against the policyholder within the 28-day time limit stated in the policy, can insurers reject cover? It is assumed that the claim would otherwise trigger cover under the insurance policy and that it is a liability insurance policy. Under a liability insurance policy, a notification clause is framed as a condition precedent to indemnity under the policy, to allow insurers to investigate the claim at an early stage. In the absence of a clause allowing for extended reporting of claims notifications, an insurer can rely on a breach of a condition precedent to deny liability, regardless of whether insurers have suffered any prejudice. See Practice Note: Liability insurance—notification of claims and circumstances and defence of claims. It should be noted that the purpose of section 11 of the Insurance Act 2015 relates to terms that define the risk as a whole, and it is to prevent insurers from relying on a breach unconnected to the...

What is the position of a security holder if the company that created the security is dissolved?

What is the position of a security holder if the company that created the security is dissolved? This Q&A focuses on the impact the dissolution of a security provider can have on the ability of a security holder to effectively enforce its security. It also considers the position of a receiver appointed by the security holder prior to the dissolution of the relevant company. Summary If a security provider is dissolved as a matter of English law it is normally still possible for the security holder to enforce the security it holds by exercising the mortgagee’s power of sale. There may be circumstances in any particular case that make an application to restore the dissolved company to the register desirable to protect the security holder’s position. Circumstances where this issue commonly arises The problems associated with a security provider being dissolved while security is in force occur most often in real estate finance and other asset finance transactions. Typically, these issues arise where a special purpose...
