Sažetak
The Shareholder Rights Directive (2007/36/EC) was implemented in the Croatian Companies Act in May 2010. According to respective legislation, companies in Croatia are allowed to enable their shareholders to exercise shareholding rights through remote communication means. To be precise, companies in Croatia are allowed (but not obliged) to hold hybrid (but not exclusively virtual) shareholder meetings only if respective possibility had been anticipated by their incorporation acts. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, severe gathering restrictions were enacted in 2020, creating a following legal dilemma for Croatian companies: is it less harmful to organize a shareholder meeting „at place“ – thus, breaching gathering restrictions, or to organize a shareholder meeting in a virtual environment – despite the fact that such possibility had not been provided by the Croatian Companies Act? This paper summarizes the main conclusions from available literature on virtual or hybrid shareholder meetings, emphasizing the most prominent pros and cons when it comes to organizing shareholder meetings online. The aim of the paper is to provide an analysis of different national legislations on virtual shareholder meetings in order to propose optimal legal solution for (Croatian) legislator.
