QUESTION 1 [20]
1.1TMT Group Limited will be holding its tenth annual general meeting
(AGM) next month. The board of directors is concerned that it will not be
possible to hold a traditional venue-based AGM where the directors, board
committee members, auditors, shareholders and shareholder proxies can all
attend in person and participate at the meeting. This is due to the evolving
COVID-19 outbreak and the related measures to prevent its spread,
including the requirements for stringent social distancing, the need for
people to avoid large public gatherings and the banning of all non-essential
travel, which have all impacted the manner in which traditional meetings
are held.
With reference to the Companies Act 71 of 2008, advise the board of
directors regarding a possible alternative(s) to holding a traditional venue-
based annual general meeting in this case and indicate whether there are
any requirements that must be complied with. (5)
