Electronic shareholder communication
At the Company’s Annual General Meeting in November 2007, the Company gained shareholder approval to adopt changes in the law governing electronic communication. This allows the Company to use their website as the main way to communicate with shareholders, sending out Annual Reports only to those who tell us they want to continue to receive a paper copy.
The Board regards this as a positive step for both the Company and shareholders. It will reduce our impact on the environment, minimise waste and reduce costs. It will enable stakeholders to keep updated with developments at Sky as they happen by accessing our website.
