Unlike the reality that contact-free society has become common due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic since early 2020, Virtual Shareholder Meetings(VSM) rather than In Person Shareholder Meetings are still not seen well in Korea. This is because there is no legal basis for permitting companies to hold VSM. Therefore, this paper studied what are legally and practically required to permit the VSM and to ensure it to operate efficiently in Korea.
First, a provision that permit both Hybrid Shareholder Meeting and Virtual-Only Sha reholder Meeting should be stipulated in Korean Commercial Code. This means that companies will have not only In Person Shareholder Meeting but also VSM as one of their options.
Second, regarding the means of transmission and reception between a company and its shareholders at the VSM, the company may choose them according to various circumstances of the company. However, it is essential that ‘interactivity and immediacy of information delivery’ should be ensured.
Third, even though the company has prepared countermeasures for system problems in advance, if the problems occur, the validity of the resolution of the VSM should be maintained. By doing so, companies can freely hold and operate VSM without worrying about the legal risks of the system problems.
Fourth, in order to ensure that virtual attendance shareholders as well as actual attendance shareholders can participate in the proceedings at the VSM, companies should give virtual attendance shareholders opportunities to speak and vote in real time during the meeting. In addition, the companies should not only have a system to deal with them, but also try not to be unfair in the process.
Finally, after voting in writing or electronically in advance, if a shareholder attends a VSM virtually on the day of the meeting, the validity of the voting exercised in advance shall be deemed to be expired at the time when the shareholder vote again on the day of the meeting, so that the true intention of the shareholder shall not be undermined.
Based on the above, by providing a legal basis for VSM, it is expected that companies will be able to hold and operate shareholder meetings in various ways in accordance with the new era and business environment.
