Our 2008 AGM will be held at Barbican Centre London on Wednesday, 16 July 2008, at 10.30 am (doors open 9:30 am). The 2007 AGM was held at the Sage Gateshead, St Mary's Square, Gateshead Quays, Gateshead, NE8 2JR on 19 July 2007.
All shareholders are invited to attend our Annual General Meeting and meet the Chairman and the Board of Directors. We welcome this opportunity to report on our performance and answer your questions. Details of the AGM now forms part of the Annual Review and Notice of Meeting (AGM), which is published on this website along with our Annual Report
A company must hold an AGM annually, and not more than 15 months may elapse between one AGM and the next. On the day of publication of the Annual Reports, an email notifying the availability of these documents is sent to shareholders who have chosen to receive shareholder documentation electronically. An Annual Review or Annual Report, together with the Notice of Meeting and a Form of Proxy, is sent out at least 21 working days before the AGM to those shareholders who have not chosen to receive shareholder documentation electronically. Printed copies of the Annual Review & Notice of Meeting 2008 are available by contacting the BT Shareholder Helpline.
At the AGM, shareholders are asked to receive our accounts and the reports of the directors and the auditors. They are also asked to approve the report on directors' remuneration. Our directors' and auditors' appointments are confirmed as part of the AGM.
The specific business of the 2008 AGM is set out in the Annual Review and Notice of Meeting (AGM).
A report on the proceedings at the 2007 AGM can be found in our AGM Report.
As a shareholder, if you do not wish to attend and vote on the resolutions in person, you can vote by proxy. Instructions on how to vote can be found here.
The critical factors when choosing the AGM venue are likely attendance, cost and availability. In past years, we have held the meeting at various UK locations, including Cardiff, Birmingham, Nottingham, Wembley, London, Newcastle, Edinburgh, York and Manchester. By holding the AGM in different parts of the UK, we hope, over the years, to provide more and more shareholders with an opportunity to attend a meeting within a reasonable travelling distance of their home.
