Greenwich Registrars & Data Solutions (GRDS) has enhanced its G-Ease platform to improve shareholders’ access to Annual General Meetings (AGMs), allowing investors to follow proceedings remotely through live streaming technology.

The company said the development is aimed at making AGM participation more accessible and convenient for shareholders regardless of their location, especially as expectations around shareholder engagement continue to evolve.

According to GRDS, physical attendance has traditionally been the major means through which shareholders participate in AGMs, a process that often creates challenges for investors unable to travel because of distance, work schedules, or personal commitments.

The upgraded G-Ease platform now enables shareholders to watch AGM proceedings live from their mobile devices, giving them easier access to corporate updates and discussions during the AGM season.

Commenting on the development, Acting Managing Director of Greenwich Registrars and Data Solutions Ltd, Anne Mutuah, said the enhancement reflects the company’s commitment to improving shareholder experience through innovation and accessibility.

Mutuah said: “AGMs remain one of the most important engagement platforms between companies and their shareholders. Our objective is to make access to AGM proceedings easier and more convenient for shareholders, particularly those who may be unable to attend physically.”

She noted that the improvement aligns with changing shareholder expectations, where convenience and accessibility are becoming increasingly important in the way investors engage with companies.

Mutuah added that technology is playing a growing role in strengthening shareholder engagement by widening access to information and reducing some of the limitations associated with physical attendance at meetings.

“Shareholders today expect more flexibility in how they stay connected with the companies they invest in. By enabling shareholders to follow AGM proceedings remotely through the G-Ease app, we are improving accessibility and helping more investors stay informed during critical corporate engagements,” Mutuah explained.

Industry observers, according to the company, believe the growing adoption of digital engagement tools across capital markets reflects a broader shift toward more accessible shareholder communication models.

GRDS said the upgraded platform would provide shareholders with easier access to AGM proceedings, reduce travel-related constraints, and improve convenience in staying connected to company activities during the AGM season.

The company added that the enhancement would also support broader visibility and improved shareholder reach for client companies, particularly among investors spread across different locations.
