Reform of the Law on Defective Resolutions: the basis for lively Annual General Meetings

Reforming the Law on Defective Resolutions is crucial to making Annual General Meetings in Germany places of genuine exchange. Currently, the rigid requirements of the Law on Defective Resolutions prevent lively discussions. For fear of legal challenges, every word is weighed up from a legal perspective.
Deutsches Aktieninstitut therefore welcomes the reform dialogue initiated by the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection. The task now is to work with all stakeholders to pave the way for a modern, dialogue-oriented shareholder democracy.
