Re: Shareholder meetings

There are no hard/fast rules about this. It is customary for corporate counsel to attend such meetings to advise the Board if questions arise. If it is purely a public shareholders meeting, there can be no legal objection if a shareholder is accompanied by legal counsel. If personnel matters or competitive matters of sensitivity are to be discussed, it is improper for outsiders to be present. Usually the latter is not the case is shareholders meetings.
