I would like to attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held by an issuer. Can the bank help me make arrangements for it?

Is it possible to vote without attending the AGM?

There's an AGM which I cant attend, and cannot nominate any proxy to attend either.
Is it possible to end in the proxy form indicating my number of shares and the votes? Will they count this?

I don't think proxy form can be submitted on the spot.

No I don't mean submit on the spot.
I mean can send in the proxy form earlier, but don't attend AGM
Will my votes be counted?

Yes! Just proxy the Chairman of the meeting. Very common occurrence.

So in the proxy form do we write the chairman's details?
Or leave it empty and submit?

Alamak! Please read the proxy form carefully. There is a provision for the Chairman to be your proxy...

So you can basically leave the form empty but remember to sign off.

I prefer USA style, live with streaming etc

Finally got a response from SGX:

Dear Sir/Mdm

Thank you very much for your reply.

We wish to inform you that for CDP account holders, generally for companies incorporated in Singapore, shares need to be reflected in the CDP account 48 hours before the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") in order for one to be able to attend the AGM.

We hope that we have clarified your queries.

Do let us know if you require further assistance from us.

Yours sincerely

The company secretary needs to request the information from the share registrar. He needs some lead time and should not be expected to perform a last minute scramble. So a 48-hours cut-off dovetails nicely with the proxy cut-off as well.

I agree on the proxy, since post-processing is needed by the secretary. Attending meeting might be able to do it real-time online, or an up-to-date copy.

Anyone have tried that, by attending meeting just one day after T+3?
