Chairman's Script For Annual General Meeting

IN LIGHT OF THE ECONOMIC CRIME & CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT 2023, THIS TEMPLATE IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW. 

This Chairman's Script for Annual General Meeting provides a structured script to help the chair run an AGM and take shareholders through the usual items of business.

Use this script to take the meeting through the standard AGM agenda

The script covers the typical AGM business, including:

• the directors laying before the company the annual accounts and reports for the most recent financial period
• the retirement and re-election of director(s) by rotation
• the end of the auditors’ term of office at the AGM and the re-appointment of the auditors (or appointment of new auditors)

Optional AGM items you may also want to address

Depending on your company’s circumstances and the business being proposed, the AGM may also include:
