Computershare Publishes White Paper and Hosts Webinar on Virtual MeetingsNEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Computershare (ASX: CPU), has published a white paper that explores the international trend towards adoption of virtual and hybrid shareholder meetings and the development of best practices for conducting them. The company also recently co-hosted a webinar titled "Making Virtual Meetings a Reality" which included an expert from Institutional Shareholder Services on the panel. Both the white paper and the webinar explore the benefits and challenges of hosting shareholder meetings fully online ('virtual meetings') or in tandem with an in-person meeting ('hybrid meetings'). With the growing adoption of digital channels for investors to access financial services, the white paper and webinar panellists contend that corporate and shareholder demand for virtual and hybrid meetings will continue to grow.

"When combined with effective protocols for managing the meeting, the use of modern technology can improve shareholder engagement and participation and reduce costs in a way that benefits companies and their shareholders alike."
