The Example and Application of the Provision of Articles of
Association Related to Attending to General Assembly via
Electronic Means and Voting
Pursuant to the Article 5 of the Regulation, companies which
desire to apply the system of electronic general assembly are required
to stipulate a related provision in their articles of association. In this
framework, related provision is as follows:
“Attending to general assembly meeting via electronic means; the
right-holders who have rights to attending company’s general assem-
bly meeting may also attend to general assembly meeting via electron-
ic means according to the TCC, Article 1527. As the company set out
the general assembly system that allows the right-holders to attend
general assembly via electronic means, give opinion and make sugges-
tions pursuant to Regulation, in the meantime it may get service from
the systems made for this purpose. Pursuant to this provision of arti-
cles of association, the right-holders and their representatives could
use their signified rights indicated in aforesaid regulation provisions
via this organized system for all general assembly meetings”
.
This provision must take part in the articles related to general
assembly meetings. Companies, which allow right-holders and their
representatives for attending the general assembly meeting and voting,
should stipulate this provision without any change in the articles of
association. Moreover, companies having the related provision in their
articles of association should supply the right-holders and their repre-
sentatives the option of attending the general assembly via electronic
means and voting in each general assembly meeting.
Supplying the Access of Information and Documents Related
to General Assembly
According to the Article 6 of the Regulation, the companies which
apply the system of general assembly via electronic means, should
comply with the obligation that the invitations should be made pur-
suant to TCC and articles of association related to general assembly
meeting, the documents required to be submitted the right-holders
before the general assembly and the documents related to agenda of the
meeting with secure electronic signature in a given period set forth in
the TCC should be present in system for the right-holders’ access.
