Retail shareholders

The AGM 2022 was held on April 29th 2022. For this meeting, held without the physical attendance by shareholders due to the current health emergency, Generali has further enhanced what has been offered in 2020 and 2021 and has given all shareholders entitled to vote the possibility to follow the full AGM proceedings via live video streaming.

In the last two years the AGM was held in a new mode. Consequently with the restrictions due to the national health situation and the specific law provisions in force (particularly art.106 of DL March 17th, no. 18) Assicurazioni Generali held its meeting without physical attendance by shareholders, all of whom had the possibility to cast their vote by conferring a proxy to the Designated Representative, also through a dedicated online portal. The Designated Representative is a third-party, independent and free service that expresses the vote of shareholders.

For Generali being close to and with its shareholders is a fundamental and indispensable value. As a consequence, considering the health and legislative picture of the first months of 2020, the Company, being almost the only one among Italian issuers, has upgraded its usual webcasting service of the opening speeches by the company’s top management, to a new and different service, reserved to shareholders: the live audio streaming of the full AGM proceedings. This first step was built upon in 2021 where a video streaming service was provided, with excellent results: a service that will also be available for the 2022 AGM.

SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING EXTENDED INCLUSION (SMEI)

In order to overcome the physical, communicative and sensorial barriers that may prevent the participation of some shareholders in the General Meeting, Generali has launched, since 2016, the Shareholders' Meeting Extended Inclusion (SMEI) program. 

Supported by the enthusiasm and dedication of the volunteers of our Group and the collaboration of trained assistance professionals, the SMEI Program has developed over time, through the provision of a growing number of services, always oriented towards the inclusion of all shareholders with respect to that central moment in the life of the Company which is the Annual General Meeting. Read more

GENERALI'S ENGAGEMENT TO KEEP ITS SHAREHOLDERS UP TO DATE AND IN CONTACT​

Generali strongly believes in the value of the trust shown by tens of thousands private investors that make up the base of its shareholder structure and as a consequence is focused on supplying a continuous and detailed stream of information, in particular in important moments of the Company’s life.
