Company Meetings

[Benny1]

Does any one know what the rules are around partners attending Shareholders meetings?
Is it strictly only the Shareholder named on the CSN who can attend?
Asking this as I have companies under my joint CSN number with my wife, as well as some holdings which nare just in her name under her CSN number...am I allowed to accompany her to those company meetings?

presumably under the matrimonial property act they are half yours anyway , I am sure they would let you in . Probably only one eligible to vote however.

Yep I would expect only one eligible to vote or ask questions..
Good point about the matrimonial property act..
I suppose I would be entitled to half the sausage roll and coffee too!

I have always understood that you can legitimately get two people into a shareholders meeting on one shareholder ticket. Generally those people would have some relationship with each other. But by appointing a proxy in advance, you can get anyone in. And if you sent in a named proxy form in advance, then turned up yourself as well, do you think you would be turned away? The downside of that strategy is that only your proxy could vote, not you.

However having said this. I guess that legally any company is only required to admit the shareholder or their proxy. So to make absolutely sure, you could phone the company in advance.
