Notice, advance votes and proxies

Ordinary and extraordinary general meetings come with ready-made agendas and a checklist of the documents to include. The platform warns if the notice goes out later than one week before the meeting (section 5-10), but does not stop it – the articles may set a longer period.

If the articles allow advance voting (section 5-11 b), shareholders can vote in advance with BankID or a code sent by email. A vote cast in the meeting replaces the advance vote.

Voting in the meeting

Digital and hybrid meetings have their own voting room, which shareholders enter with BankID or a code sent by email. The video call itself runs in the tool you already use.

Who may vote is locked when voting opens, and each item gets the result approved, rejected or insufficient majority.

Frequently asked questions

What is a digital general assembly?

The general meeting (generalforsamling) is the highest body of a Norwegian AS. Section 5-5 of the Companies Act requires an ordinary general meeting within six months of each financial year-end, among other things to approve the annual accounts. Nexus Connect lets you hold it digitally.

Can shareholders vote by proxy?

Yes. A shareholder can give a proxy to someone else, who then votes for them. The shareholder who gave the proxy cannot also vote themselves.

Which majorities does the platform apply?

A simple majority by default, two thirds for amendments to the articles (section 5-18 of the Companies Act), nine tenths for the matters in section 5-19 and unanimity under section 5-20. Votes are counted by number of shares.
