Annual General Meeting 2007
Overview
The Royal London Annual General Meeting 2007 was held at The Barbican in central London on 22 May 2007.
As with last year's AGM, members not attending the meeting in person could make their views known by registering a proxy vote. In addition, members were also able to vote online for the first time.
Approximately 35,000 Royal London members chose to vote.
A number of members attended the meeting in person and took the opportunity to question the Board both formally, in the Question & Answer section of the meeting, and informally over a buffet lunch.
The proxy voting process and entry to the meeting on the day was managed by the independent scrutineers, Electoral Reform Services (ERS). To ensure that the votes of members present and the proxies were accurately reflected, ERS provided electronic voting consoles for voting at the meeting.
