Solutions to help fulfil Shareholder Rights Directive obligations

If your firm holds or invests in European equities, it is time to get ready for the updated Shareholder Rights Directive (SRD II).

SRD II represents the biggest and most comprehensive change to European corporate governance standards and processes for many years. All entities in the investor communications chain are affected by the directive and the deadline for EU member states to transpose the regulation into national law, and by which intermediaries must comply, is 3 September 2020. The impact is global: although SRD II is an EC Directive, its mandate extends to intermediaries domiciled outside of the region if they hold shares in EU-based issuers listed on regulated markets.

By extending our world-class global proxy management solution and adding a blockchain-based shareholder disclosure management service, Broadridge is uniquely positioned to help banks, custodians, brokers, CSDs, and retail and institutional intermediaries meet their SRD II compliance obligations.

Innovative solutions that support your responsibilities under the directive include:

  • Shareholder disclosure – our new shareholder disclosure service facilitates time-sensitive monitoring, request handling and response filing
  • Agenda distribution and proxy voting – our solution supports the distribution of meeting agendas within stringent timeframes, daily votes reconciliation, and ‘without delay’ vote processing
  • Vote confirmation – take advantage of increased efficiency for electronic confirmation of vote receipts and the post-meeting recording and counting of votes
