MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The communication questioned if the e-vote introduced recently into the companies listed on Euronext100 is the required result of a policy of corporate governance in favour of a better transparency of information and a stronger participation of the shareholders in the decisions. The results of the investigation carried out are first of all presented. It is found that these companies are rather of more important size but of performance generally worse. Then, we carried out comparative tests of some explanatory data, in term of corporate governance, with the quality of the practice of the e-vote. It is observed that these are companies whose capital is more diffuse and which there is not statistical differences in term of presence at the Annual General Meetings. The e-vote thus exceeds the simple stage of the improvement of the administrative process of the management of these meetings. Lastly, the discussion relates to the impact of new rules of transparency for the corporate governorship.
