For most retail shareholders, a chance to see – and ask questions of – the board of any major, publicly-owned organisation is a rare occasion. But the annual general meeting (AGM) is the one forum a year where that opportunity is guaranteed.
In 2020, venue density and social distancing restrictions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic meant that – for the first time in its history – ANZ’s AGM was held virtually.
Despite not being able to meet in person, all shareholders were still provided the opportunity to attend the virtual meeting and to ask questions of ANZ’s new chairman Paul O’Sullivan, CEO Shayne Elliott and the board.
At this year’s AGM, the following resolutions were passed:
| Item | Resolution | Result of the poll |
| 2 | Re-Election of Board Endorsed Candidates: (a) To elect Mr J T Macfarlane (b) To re-elect Mrs I R Atlas AO | • Mr Macfarlane was re-elected as a Director • Mrs Atlas was re-elected as a Director |
| 3 | Adoption of the Remuneration Report | Carried as an ordinary resolution |
| 4 | Grant of Performance Rights to Mr S C Elliott | Carried as an ordinary resolution |
| 5 | Resolution requisitioned by members – Amendment to the Constitution | Not carried as a special resolution |
