Circular

Subject: Regarding listed Companies AGM.

The Commission has recently observed that during the conduct of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of listed companies and subsequently during the refreshment period, undesirable situations often occur, which disrupt the core activities of the AGM, namely the discussion and approval process of the agenda of the listed companies' AGM.

In this regard, to ensure the proper conduct of the AGM of listed companies, the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission has once again issued instructions to ensure compliance with "(c) no benefit in cash or kind, other than in the form of cash dividend or stock dividend, shall be paid to the holders of equity securities." as described in Notification No. SEC/SRMI/2000-953/1950 dated 24th October 2000.
