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.
