AGMs are strategic moments that shape investor confidence and test governance credibility.
Kingsdale’s 2026 AGM Readiness Checklist cuts through the noise with seven essential questions every board and management team should answer before their upcoming meeting.
Built on evolving ISS and Glass Lewis policy updates, shifting shareholder expectations, and lessons from the field, this checklist helps you identify gaps before they become problems. It covers key topics from shareholder turnout and executive pay alignment to diversity disclosures and audit committee preparedness.
The companies that thrive under pressure rarely react in the moment. They prepare early, engage thoughtfully, and get the details right.
Our track record speaks to that approach.
- 100% success rate across all mandates in FY 2025
- #1 Proxy Solicitor in Canada (company-side) according to Bloomberg Global Activism League Tables in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025
Your AGM is where trust is earned and resilience is built.
