Companies resort to virtual AGM

 


The “new normal” has taken a further step towards entrenching itself as companies are now resorting to digital platforms to hold Annual General Meetings (AGM).

 Databank Group and Total Petroleum Ghana Limited have both issued notices to their respective shareholders about their impending virtual AGMs.

 According to a release from Total copied to Busineweekghana.com “the 44th Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders of Total Petroleum Ghana Limited will be held VIRTUALLY and streamed live by video link from the Head office of Total Petroleum Ghana Limited on Wednesday,15th July, 2020 at 11:00am”

 It further added that “In compliance with the current restrictions on public gatherings in force pursuant to the imposition of Restrictions Act, 2020 (Act 1012) and consequent Regulatory Directives, attendance and participation by all members and/or their proxies in this year’s Annual General Meeting of the Company shall be strictly virtual (i.e. by online participation).”

 The notice from Databank said “You are cordially invited to the 2019 AGM of Databank’s Mutual Funds to be held virtually on zoom on July 14&15”.

 “Please note that to participate in this year’s AGM, you are required to pre-register by clicking on the registration link for the fund,” it added.

You can register to be part of meetings for as many funds as you hold shares in; however, you will need your account number to register. Once you register, you will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link to be used on the day of the meeting.

Total intends to use a special resolution to amend the Company’s Regulations/Constitution to accommodate the holding of Annual General Meetings by electronic or virtual means where the Directors deem it necessary to do so.

 According to Total, a unique token number will be sent to shareholders by email and/or SMS from 23rd June, 2020 to give them access to the meeting.

To gain access to the Virtual AGM, shareholders must visit http://totalghana-agm.com/ and input their unique token number on Wednesday, 15th July 2020.

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

 Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration. Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

  The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs). The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55.

By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
