Virtual AGM Solutions

Ans. A physical AGM is held entirely at a physical venue. A hybrid AGM combines physical attendance with remote participation (online) so attendees can join either way. A virtual AGM is fully online: all participants attend remotely, with no requirement to be physically present.

Ans: Organizations holding the Virtual AGM have control over who can be a part of the live broadcast. They can limit the number of internal and external stakeholders who can join the meeting and also choose whether or not the audience can ask questions or vote.

Ans: It doesn’t matter whether you are using a desktop or mobile (iOS or Android device), you can join a virtual AGM either way. The web-based solution does not depend on your device’s operating system. You just have to open the URL in safe and updated web browsers.

Ans: A Virtual AGM is an equivalent of an in-person AGM, the same as the “real” AGM (even its structure: agenda, etc.), except that it is conducted entirely online. Participants actively participate in the meetings, giving them the same privileges and transparency as in-persons AGMs.

With global travel restrictions amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, Globibo’s Virtual AGM Solutions is the better option for companies to maintain operations safely and effectively, locally and abroad.

Ans: Yes, they are. Globibo Virtual AGM Solutions provides high level security measures for participants. Unauthorized third parties are unable to obtain access to proceedings at our virtual AGMs, and measures are taken to address situations such as Internet disruptions, power outage, etc.

Ans: It definitely costs lesser than traditional in-person AGMs, as all you need is a reliable virtual platform that could be either from your home or office. You would not need to rent a venue, prepare food/refreshments, or incur travelling and accommodation expenses.

Ans: Interestingly, attendance, participation, and interaction with Globibo’s Virtual AGM platform are more encouraging as participants have few obstacles to overcome. Participants have been said to be more active in discussions because it is not a face-to-face meeting.

Ans: The primary benefit of virtual AGM is that all your shareholders, invitees, and other participants can join the meeting from anywhere.

Ans: Yes. A robust Virtual AGM solution supports managing proxies, principal-nominee relationships, vote weighting, abstentions, and generates detailed results per resolution or agenda item.

Ans: The polling option in a hybrid AGM is done as multiple-choice questions, designed as requested. It is part of the smartphone solutions offered by the platform.

Ans: Yes, a DIGIVOTE VD30 or a Sunvote will get votes from the audience. We will send it to all participants’ devices, and they can answer these and submit it from the device.
