Handbook for the Conduct of Shareholders' Meetings 3rd Edition ISBN 9781641058995

The Third Edition of the Handbook for the Conduct of Shareholders’ Meetings provides authoritative guidance on the interpretation and application of corporate governance principles as they relate to shareholders’ meetings, with a primary focus on state law. It includes thorough references to the Model Business Corporation Act and its Official Comment, as well as to corporate statutes and case law from Model Act states, Delaware, and other jurisdictions. Where relevant, the Handbook also addresses federal securities laws, stock exchange regulations, and the effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic on meeting practices.

Designed as a practical resource for organizing and conducting shareholders’ meetings, this expanded and updated edition covers a wide range of essential topics, including:

  • Timing, notice, and record-date requirements for annual and special shareholders’ meetings

  • Forms of share ownership and voting processes

  • The impact of abstentions and broker non-votes

  • Best practices for virtual and hybrid meetings

  • The role, influence, and voting policies of proxy advisory firms

  • A new supplement addressing Canadian federal and provincial law governing shareholders’ meetings

  • A glossary of commonly used terms

  • An accompanying website featuring downloadable appendices, including checklists, agendas, flowcharts, forms, and other customizable tools

This third edition serves as a comprehensive and practical reference for practitioners navigating the evolving legal and procedural landscape of shareholders’ meetings.
