Thanks to IRWEB for pointing us to a new paper from White & Case attorneys Colin Diamond, Tal Ganani and Pouria Saidi reviewing the current state of retail annual meeting communications, with recommended steps for companies to improve the way they inform their investors. They note increased majority voting provisions, the tendency of retail investors to buy and hold, and the potential for using new technologies like twitter in emphasizing the importance of effective communications with retail investors.
