Eligibility to attend AGM/EGM

[money]

Hi guys,

For example, company C will hold its AGM/EGM tomorrow. If i bought some shares of company C a few days ago, BUT my shares will only be credited into my CDP account tomorrow, can i still  attend the AGM/EGM as a shareholder to vote? Or is it too late?

thanks

You can check your CDP account on the same day hours before the AGM/EGM will be held. If your shares are shown to be already credited into your CDP account, then no issue in attending and voting. If it does not reflect, you may still try your luck to attend the AGM/EGM bringing along your brokerage trading/ transaction statement as a supporting evidence that you have purchased shares in the company. I think the registration desk will scan your IC and if they find that you have no shares held in their company, you may try to show them your brokerage trading/ transaction statement and explain to them your case that the shares have not been credited into your CDP account yet and see if they will still allow you to attend the AGM/EGM but without any voting rights. However, be prepared they may still refuse your attendance. Wonder if there are other possible ways to settle this issue? Any comments from other valuebuddies?

by T+4 days, it should be in CDP, if not free balance. Provided you paid for it. GIRO usually slower.
If timing is tight, check on mobile if the shares are credited by the time you register at AGM venue.

If dont have your record when registered at the AGM itself, request to be an observer. Observer cannot ask questions.
But if you really desperate to ask, then get someone to ask for you lor. It is usually those few people asking. Or write down
your questions and ask a shareholder to pass questions to the Chairman

Thanks. i am doing some monitoring. It seems like day T+3 , the shares will be credited into my CDP, but only "available", not yet "free".
Day T+4, still under "available".
By the way, i am paying by giro. Will update again when it says "free"

for updating purposes, the shares are "free" on T+5, but the fact that shares will be credited into CDP on T+3 doesnt seem true for my other shares

I think GIRO payment takes longer. I think EPS is 1 day faster (T+4).
