Task A:
Explain the intended purpose, or role, of the Annual General Meeting (AGM), and discuss whether the AGM fulfils that role. In your response consider challenges of shareholder engagement and the impact and effectiveness of the ‘two strike rule'.
Task B:
In March 2015 the Senate considered - and passed - the Corporations Legislation Amendment (Deregulatory and Other Measures) Bill 2014 (Cth). If the Bill receives Royal Assent, what impact, if any would there be on the ‘100 member rule' and do you consider this to be a positive or negative impact? Why?
