Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation Launches "Shareholder Meeting eGift Service" Creating a New Milestone for Green AGMs
2025/10/31
In alignment with the Financial Supervisory Commission's (FSC) promotion of financial technology and in response to the trends of sustainable development and digital transformation, Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation (TDCC) has developed the "Shareholder Meeting eGift Service" to enhance electronic voting participation at Annual General Meetings (AGMs). After receiving approval from FSC on October 16, 2025, the service has officially been launched, with plans to promote its use among public companies to facilitate the electronic distribution of AGMs' souvenirs, pioneering a new chapter in digital sustainability with the Green AGMs.
To meet the market demand for digital services and increase e-voting participation at shareholders' meetings, TDCC plans to launch the eGift service. In the future, if a company adopts the eGift service for its AGM, eligible shareholders who complete electronic voting (and do not submit a proxy) can log in to the eVoting platform during a designated period to collect their AGM souvenir online, without the hassle of waiting in line or being restricted by location. This not only eliminates the inconvenience of on-site queues and location constraints, but also encourages greater shareholder participation and adoption of electronic voting, further aligns with the "Green AGM" concept, reducing paper waste and logistics costs, while achieving the dual goals of an efficient, convenient, and energy-saving shareholder service Experience.
TDCC Chairman Bing-Huei Lin stated that launching the eGift service to increase electronic voting participation is an important milestone in the continued digitalization of financial services and shareholder services. Moving forward, TDCC will push for more innovative applications to help companies build an efficient, low-carbon, and convenient digital service ecosystem for AGMs, driving overall market digitalization. To encourage shareholders with 1,000 or more shares to use electronic voting to attend meetings, TDCC will launch a "NT$1,000,000 Lucky Draw" event. Eligible shareholders who complete electronic voting will not only receive the company’s original souvenirs but also have the chance to win prizes from TDCC, significantly enhancing shareholder willingness to participate in electronic voting.
TDCC plans to offer the eGift service starting in March 2026 and will hold briefing sessions in the near future. Interested public companies are welcome to inquire and join in promoting the new "Green AGM" initiative, jointly promoting a new model of Green AGMs, achieving the dual objectives of digital innovation and sustainable governance.
