Shareholder Proposals Likely a Focus at 2024 AGM Are ROE, P/B, and Parent-Subsidiary Listings
- With ISS’s plan to resume ROE criteria and TSE’s mention of P/B, more shareholder proposals calling for stronger shareholder returns due to stagnant stock prices and ROEs can be expected.
- Since over 30% of listed companies have major shareholders holding 20% or more of their interests, the voting behavior of domestic institutions is key to the passage of shareholder proposals.
- With TSE’s disclosure request regarding the significance of parent-subsidiary listings, this matter will become another focus of the AGM in business portfolio reform and securing the interests of minority shareholders.
