Info

Making the communication by website When a document or item of information required or authorised to be sent or supplied under the Act is published on a company’s website, the company must notify the shareholder of: • the presence of the document or information on the website; • the address of the website; • the place on the website where it may be accessed; and • how to access the document or information. This notification must be sent as a hard copy or, if the shareholder has agreed, by electronic communication such as email. The FSA has confirmed that, in respect of listed companies, such a letter must comply with the usual Listing Rules requirements for circulars. The company must usually make the document or information available on the website for at least 28 days beginning with the date the notification of availability is sent. The company must also comply with any extra requirements about website publications in the company’s articles. Email communication: express consent still required Companies still need a shareholder’s express agreement to use electronic communication such as email. Any agreement with a shareholder made since 2000 under the companies legislation that preceded the Act continues to have effect for the purpose of the new regime. Even if a shareholder has agreed to electronic communication, he or she may still obtain hard copies of documents free of charge at any time. Communications in hard copy There have been no recent changes in the rules governing hard copy communications between companies and their shareholders, the main requirements of which are detailed in a company’s articles of association and, in respect of listed companies, the Listing Rules. 66 Building the <strong>Investor</strong> <strong>Relations</strong> Programme
