Virtualizing your AGM amid COVID-19

Rima Ramchandani and David Outerbridge will join a webinar by the Canadian Investor Relations Institute on hosting virtual AGMs and force majeure clauses.

As organizations begin to consider virtual AGMs amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Rima will help participants understand the options as well as any obstacles that would need to be addressed and potential solutions.

David will discuss force majeure clauses and what organizations should be considering in regard to their contracts. 

You can register for the webinar on the Canadian Investor Relations Institute website.

David, Rima and a team of Torys lawyers have written various pieces on force majeure clauses and virtual AGMs in light of COVID-19. You can learn more about considerations for your organization by reading “COVID-19 and force majeure clauses: key considerations, implications, and practice tips” and “COVID-19 and AGM virtual meeting planning”.
