Why are AGMs important in Thailand?

AGMs are important as they are used to review and approve the audited financial statements and other matters as required by law (such as the rotation of directors). The meeting is also used to discuss anything as stipulated in the Articles of Association (‘AoA’).

In order to arrange the AGM the company must follow a specific protocol. Firstly, the Board of Directors must issue a notice letter calling the AGM at least 7 days prior to the meeting date. This notice letter must be published in a local newspaper and sent by registered mail or by hand to all eligible shareholders i.e. those whose names are listed on the register of shareholders.
