Description

CHANGE OF BROADCAST VENUE OF THE 45TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF AFFIN BANK BERHAD TO FULLY VIRTUAL

Reference is made to the Notice of the 45th Annual General Meeting (“45th AGM”) of the Company dated 30 April 2021 and the announcement by the Government of Malaysia on 28 May 2021 with regard to the National Total Lockdown from 1 June 2021 to 14 June 2021.

 

Pursuant to the implementation of the National Total Lockdown, the Securities Commission Malaysia had on 1 June 2021 revised the Guidance Note and FAQs on the conduct of General Meetings for Listed Issuers (which was originally issued on 18 April 2020). The revised guidance states that listed issuers are only allowed to conduct fully virtual general meetings during the total lockdown. In a fully virtual general meeting, all meeting participants including the Chairperson of the meeting, Board members, senior management and shareholders participate in the meeting online. Physical gatherings no matter how small are prohibited.

 

According to the Revised Guidance Note and FAQ, an online meeting platform can be recognised as the meeting venue or place under Section 327(2) of Companies Act 2016 if the online platform is located in Malaysia.

 

The Board, having given due consideration to the above, wishes to inform that the Broadcast Venue of the 45th AGM of the Company shall be changed from Level 18, Menara Affin, 80, Jalan Raja Chulan 50200 Kuala Lumpur to the online meeting platform of TIIH Online via its website at https://tiih.online 

 

Apart from the change in venue, all information in the Notice of 45th AGM of the Company dated 30 April 2021 and the Administrative Notes to the 45th AGM in the 2020 Annual Report issued on 30th April 2021 remains unchanged.
