Document background
The Form of Proxy for Shareholder Meeting is a fundamental corporate governance document used in Malaysian companies when shareholders cannot or choose not to attend general meetings in person. This document, governed by the Companies Act 2016 and relevant regulations, allows shareholders to exercise their voting rights through appointed representatives. It's particularly crucial for public listed companies and must contain specific elements required by Malaysian law, including clear identification of all parties, precise voting instructions, and proper execution requirements. The form must be submitted within specified timeframes before the meeting and may be used for both physical and virtual shareholder meetings.
