Have any measures
been put in place •
to accommodate
social distancing
(such as remote
general meetings)?
•
To accommodate social distancing, the Portuguese Government has extended until 30
June 2020 the deadline for holding annual general meetings which should take place by
legal or statutory imposition until 31 March 2020 or 31 May 2020 (e.g. for approval of the
year-end individual or consolidated financial statements, respectively).
Without prejudice to the above, the use of distance communication mechanisms (i.e.
video or teleconference) to hold meetings of the corporate bodies and pass resolutions
is also admissible, provided that the participation via such means is duly recorded in the
relevant minutes of the meetings.
