Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation

In response to international trends and the wave of digital technology, the Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation (TDCC) launched the eMeeting Platform in 2022, allowing investors to participate in shareholder meetings and exercise their shareholder rights through various channels. This year, it is expected that 119 companies will use the platform, setting a new record. The adoption of eMeeting by TWSE and TPEx listed companies not only facilitates shareholder participation in shareholders’ meetings but also demonstrates high corporate governance and digital agility.

To ensure the smooth use of eMeeting by issuing companies, TDCC formed a project team that created dedicated LINE groups for each participating company and assigned specialized personnel to provide one-on-one guidance services, offering immediate responses to any eMeeting-related inquiries. Additionally, TDCC set up a simulated shareholders' meeting venue, allowing issuing companies to send representatives to TDCC for training and simulation exercises before the shareholders' meeting. TDCC also assists companies with on-site rehearsals to ensure the smooth execution of the meeting.

On the day of the shareholders’ meeting, TDCC’s Mobile Situation Room will assist issuing companies in confirming that the live video and audio of the shareholders’ meeting are functioning properly. For companies using eMeeting for the first time, dedicated personnel will be sent to the shareholders’ meeting to provide on-site technical support and operational guidance. TDCC's comprehensive and thoughtful service has received high recognition from issuing companies. Ms. Jane Huang, Executive Vice President of Issuer Services Department, stated that TDCC is committed to promoting the digitalization of market shareholder services and building a comprehensive shareholder services ecosystem. TDCC launched the Stockservices Platform, integrating services such as eMeeting, eVoting, and eNotice. In May of this year, a brand new service, eCounter, will be further launched, allowing shareholders to use digital signatures to apply for services such as shareholder account openings and basic data changes online with the issuing company or its shareholder service agency. The new service will significantly enhance the digital experience for shareholders and advance the digitalization of shareholder services.
