Hi palantir,
I did but had to leave after 2 hrs of shareholders questioning the board on various resolutions. Generally, the points summarized as follow:
1. Shareholder question about razor99 short sell report.
2. Board appointed Deloitte to investigate report and the results were not out before AGM.
3. Understandably some shareholders did not find it fit that queries were not being addressed which forms the basis of the financial report. (technicality: I believe the resolution is to accept the accuracy financial report numbers rather than the integrity of the company and its financials. YMMV)
4. Many going back and forth. Chairman kept highlighting that he need to spend lots of time to explain details and that there is a system/professionals that should be respected.
5. Imo my feel is that the board should have prepared shareholders with very clear disclaimers beforehand and handled situation better. Noted that newly appointed director munir did eventually say that in his own capacity, he is not aware of any corruption by silverlake during his previous tenure in related banking.
6. Also felt that there were some queries that the board could not keep addressing without getting into trouble.. Unfortunately for the board, their words hold more liability in public space than the shareholders.
The back and forth was particularly frustrating as I was not able to attend the post AGM Q&A due to my personal time constraints. Any other participants, I do appreciate you sharing experience here or in private.
I can summarize some minutes of meeting when I get around to typing them.
Above my comments and paraphrasing from memory, apologies if it is less than accurate.
