As of today, Dutch and foreign institutional investors will be able to receive meeting notifications for equities listed on NYSE Euronext-Amsterdam and NYSE Alternext. Euroclear Nederland, the Dutch central securities depository (CSD), will collect information from issuers and their agents and - in co-operation with Broadridge - distribute upcoming annual and extraordinary shareholder meeting notifications to Dutch and international investors in electronic form. The new service will enhance the flow of information between end investors and issuers by ensuring cost-efficient communication between all parties involved in shareholder meetings. The notification service is in line with the European Market Standards for General Meetings (MSGM), which belongs to a set of measures aimed at addressing the Giovannini Group's barrier 3 on corporate actions.
