Why does the board of directors need specific regulations for holding general meetings using electronic means?
Antwort
The board of directors’ regulations specify the statutory requirements for virtual or hybrid general meetings and ensure that such meetings are conducted in compliance with the law. They set out in a binding manner how electronic means are to be used, which organisational and technical requirements apply and how shareholders’ rights are safeguarded. The regulations therefore provide legal certainty for the board of directors and transparency for the shareholders.
