Regulation of the Financial Services Authority Number 14 of 2025 concerning the Implementation of Electronic General Meetings of Shareholders, Bondholders, and Sukuk Holders

Abstract: The volume and geographical distribution of shareholders, bondholders, or sukuk holders create obstacles in the implementation of General Meetings of Shareholders (RUPS), General Meetings of Bondholders (RUPO), or General Meetings of Sukuk Holders (RUPSu), both in determining the location of the meeting and in meeting the quorum for attendance and the quorum for decision-making. To increase the efficiency and effectiveness of implementing RUPS, RUPO, or RUPSu and to mitigate the potential failure to achieve the attendance quorum, it is necessary to utilize developments in information technology in the organization of RUPS, RUPO, or RUPSu. As mandated in Article 8A paragraph (1) letter c and paragraph (3) of Law Number 4 of 2023 concerning the Development and Strengthening of the Financial Sector (UU P2SK), the OJK has the authority to establish policies regarding the utilization of information technology in the organization of RUPS or other meetings based on applicable regulations. The drafting of this Financial Services Authority Regulation is carried out in order to issue a legal basis for the electronic implementation of RUPO and RUPSu by Issuers, to exercise the OJK's authority to establish policies regarding the utilization of information technology in the organization of RUPO and RUPSu as mandated by the UU P2SK, and to combine (codify) all provisions regarding the implementation of electronic general meetings of shareholders, general meetings of bondholders, and general meetings of sukuk holders into 1 (one) Financial Services Authority Regulation.
