SDB bank continues digital advancement with first-ever hybrid online AGM

In furthering SDB bank’s continuous digital evolution, the bank hosted its 23rd Annual General Meeting via a hybrid, virtual-physical model on 15 July.

While adhering to COVID-19-enforced national regulations in ensuring the health and safety of all participants, the bank adopted a hybrid meeting framework to successfully conduct its first virtual AGM. 

The traditional component of the meeting took place at the Lavender Hall at BMICH, where a portion of the shareholders partook in the proceedings, while stringently following established social distancing, sanitisation and protective hygiene norms. The meeting was streamed live to a sizable number of SDB bank’s shareholders through the Zoom video communications and conferencing software, allowing for their full involvement. 

The events of SDB bank’s 23rd AGM unfolded smoothly from start to finish, with the use of live video communications technology promoting the in-depth engagement of all shareholders in activities ranging from voting to passing resolutions. 

The bank’s first-ever Hybrid Online AGM comes on the back of their continuous digital integration and transformation in recent years, and it fully met the Government’s extensive measures for the safe resumption of business operations island-wide.
