International speaker confirms attendance at the event
On June 13, the Association of Capital Market Investors – Amec – invites the market’s participants to debate about the current scenario of shareholders’ meetings in Brazil. A lot has changed in recent years, the market has been more and more interested in the topic and the governance and the stewardship have become increasingly important for the capital market.
The distance voting, implemented for the first time by the largest Brazilian companies, is the main innovation in 2017. Based on cases of success and frustrations, the event’s participants will be sharing their initial experiences and suggesting possible improvements to be adopted by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission – CVM - for the next years. Other problems that affect the domestic shareholders’ meetings will be also addressed based on the experience of the largest investors in Brazil. |

JBS case sheds light on serious problems facing the capital market |

The recent news about the plea bargaining involving JBS’ controlling shareholders has brought several problems that affect minority shareholders in the domestic capital market to the fore, problems that should have been solved based on the several lessons learned in previous cases. "Amec’s members are concerned about the possibility that the amount to be paid by JBS as part of the plea bargaining – BRL 10.3 billion – is used to indemnify only the Brazilian National Bank for Social and Economic Development – BNDES - and the pension funds. What about the remaining shareholders?,” asks Mauro Rodrigues da Cunha, CEO of the Association of Capital Market Investors. |
