Preparing for Your 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders

Webcast  CLE is not available

Jan 28, 2010
12PM ET

Duration: 1 Hour

Presented by ACC's Corporate & Securities Law Committee, Sponsored by Lindquist & Vennum PLLP

This webcast will give practical advice, including sample language, to help you prepare for your annual meeting of shareholders in 2010.  This webcast will help you draft a better CD&A (the perennial hot topic for SEC comments), prepare for the governance challenges your company will face with the repeal of broker non-votes for the election of directors (whether yours is a plurality voting or majority voting company), and will highlight the new and evolving disclosure “best practices” for the proxy statement.  We will also provide you with guidance on the expanded director and nominee disclosure, including separation of the role of chairman and CEO, to help you comply with the disclosure requirements (if adopted for 2010) or determine the appropriateness of early adoption (if adoption is further delayed), and review select hot topics relating to the conduct of the annual meeting, including virtual meetings.
