Managing discussion and shareholders' questions—listed company AGMs—checklist

Managing discussion and shareholders' questions—listed company AGMs—checklist This checklist provides guidance on the questions and discussions at Annual General Meetings (AGMs) of listed public companies and AIM companies. It covers legal aspects, corporate governance best practice and practical guidance, as well as tips for the chair and company secretary in preparing for debate and unexpected events at a company's AGM. The chair of the meeting is responsible for managing discussion at the meeting and must do so in an impartial manner. It is the chair’s role to keep discussion under control and to decide when to close discussion on a particular matter once they consider that it has been debated sufficiently and has enabled a range of views to be heard.

What are the implications for an insured who participates in clinical trials but fails to notify his insurers of any existing health conditions or potential changes to his health which he discovers as a result?

What are the implications for an insured who participates in clinical trials but fails to notify his insurers of any existing health conditions or potential changes to his health which he discovers as a result? The following questions potentially arise: • has there been an increase in risk which the insured is obliged to disclose during the currency of the policy? • must the information be disclosed at renewal? • does it attract the operation of an exclusion for pre-existing conditions? • has there been any non-disclosure or misrepresentation? The insured’s state of health may be relevant to a wide variety of insurance policies, including long-term policies (eg life assurance, income protection or critical illness) and short-term policies (eg private medical, accident, or travel insurance). Some policies may be fully underwritten at the outset by means of a detailed proposal form. Others may only require minimal disclosure at inception but exclude cover for pre-existing medical conditions and/or require notification of changes in the insured’s health. It is therefore...
