In the ever-evolving landscape of corporate governance, AS PRFoods, a leading Estonian food company, has proposed a novel approach to shareholder engagement. The company has proposed the adoption of resolutions without convening a general meeting, opting for a digital voting process. This article explores the implications of this proposal, the digital voting process, and the measures in place to accommodate traditional paper ballots.

AS PRFoods' proposal aligns with the company's long-term strategic goals and financial health. The management board's proposals include approving the 01.07.2023 - 30.06.2024 annual report and covering the accumulated loss of EUR 4,673,000 from future profits. These resolutions demonstrate the company's commitment to transparency and responsible financial management. By covering the loss from future profits, AS PRFoods aims to maintain its financial stability and ensure long-term growth.

The digital voting process for AS PRFoods' shareholders' meeting ensures security and integrity through several measures. Firstly, the voting ballot must be digitally signed to enable shareholder identification. If sent by email, a copy of the shareholder's or representative's ID document page, including the expiry date, must accompany the ballot. For shareholders who are legal entities registered abroad, a copy of the extract from the relevant foreign commercial register, proving the representative's right to represent the shareholder, is required. This multi-layered verification process ensures that only authorized individuals can cast votes, maintaining the integrity of the voting process. Additionally, the voting period is clearly defined, and shareholders can access all relevant materials, including draft resolutions, on the company's website, promoting transparency and informed decision-making.



Shareholders of AS PRFoods have the option to cast their votes via traditional paper ballots, ensuring accessibility for those who prefer this method. The company provides two avenues for submitting paper ballots: by email or by post. For email submission, shareholders must sign the ballot and scan it, along with a copy of the personal data page of their identity document, and send it to investor@prfoods.ee. Alternatively, shareholders can send the completed and signed paper ballot to the office of AS PRFoods at Pärnu mnt 141, 11314 Tallinn, Estonia, ensuring it arrives no later than the specified deadline. This accommodation for traditional paper ballots aligns with the author's preference for stability and predictability, as it caters to shareholders who value familiar and reliable voting methods.

In conclusion, AS PRFoods' proposal for the adoption of resolutions without convening a meeting, along with the digital voting process, demonstrates the company's commitment to innovation and shareholder engagement. The digital voting process ensures security and integrity, while the accommodation for traditional paper ballots caters to shareholders who prefer familiar methods. This approach aligns with the author's preference for stable, predictable investments that offer consistent returns without unnecessary excitement or risk, emphasizing long-term reliability over short-term thrills.
