Here is the upcoming calendar for the AGMs and EGMs, along with AGMs completed since September 16 during the main 2025 AGM season at the bottom. Also, see this list of 290 AGMs/EGMs attended so far in 2025, plus this list of all 201 meetings attended in calendar 2024 and this list of the crazy last day AGM action from Friday, November 29, 2024, when there were an extraordinary 212 AGMs across the country on one day. It seems like there were even more on the last day in 2025.
Here are some of the noteworthy protest votes in the 2025 main AGM season.
This list tracks more than 200 existing ASX listed companies capitalised at more than $30 million which failed to deliver full online AGM participation (questions and voting) after the COVID restrictions were lifted. Quite a few of them are controlled by scrutiny-averse Rich Listers. Also, check out this commendable list of almost 150 listed companies which are now regularly running best practice hybrid AGMs.
There were 69 AGMs listed for Friday, November 28, 2025 on the main AGM calendar put together before the day but by the time we searched the ASX announcements that day, we finished with more than the 212 AGMs held on Friday, November 29, 2024. It was 123 after we'd checked all post-4pm announcements which captured most of the Perth action and there were 84 before 3pm which we're still in the process of adding to this list.
Below is a bucket list of almost 200 interesting ASX listed companies where am yet to attend their AGM but would like to in the future. Many of them are dinosaurs which ban online voting and questions at their physical only AGMs. Also, check out the record 201 AGMs/EGMs attended in calendar 2024.
Here are some standard AGM questions likely to be asked live on the day at 2025 AGMs for chairs wishing to prepare in advance. Further preparation can be done looking through the text of the exchanges as these 201 AGMs in 2024 or the 109 AGMs attended in calendar 2023 or these 130 meetings in 2022. Even easier, here is the master list of almost 1100 AGMs attended since 1998.
Here is a list of more than 60 companies which (often after a direct request) agreed to provide poll results and/or pre-AGM proxy votes by both shares and shareholders, thereby providing an insight into retail shareholder sentiment and participation numbers. This is the way forward to stimulate greater retail shareholder participation in voting which has crashed to below 3% since the move away from paper. In terms of which share registry provider is delivering, Link/MUFG has done the most, followed by Computershare. Also, see this associated list of companies commendably disclosing the proxy position to the ASX along with the formal addresses before the AGM starts. The best of them include both voting metrics.
Here are more than 140 examples of transparent and accessible companies which have run full hybrid AGMs with both online voting and questions since they were first forced to embrace online participation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, see this long list of more than 200 luddite companies still running dinosaur physical AGMs. Most of them are outside the ASX300.
This is an open letter to the public company chairs of Australia, envisaged to have been sent a few days after their company's year end as they prepare to release their audited financial statements and then convene the AGM.
Here is a list of more than 80 companies which have adopted the best practice of lodging the proxy position with the ASX along with the formal addresses before the AGM/EGM commences. With 95%+ of all votes cast by proxy 48 hours before the meeting, the AGM itself is essentially an election outcome announcement event. But if the data is withheld, you end up debating in the dark. Lodging the votes with the formal addresses doesn't have to cruel debate at the AGM because it doesn't have to be announced to the AGM before the debate commences, if that's what chairs are worried about. Otherwise, it allows for a fully informed debate on any big protest votes whilst providing more timely data to the market and all stakeholders, including institutional investors and proxy advisers. Sometimes this data can be market sensitive, so arguably directors should release it as soon as possible after the proxy voting deadline, which should be the day before the meeting. Also, see this associated list of best practice companies which commendably provide scheme-like voting disclosure including how many shareholders voted for and against each resolution.
Below is a list of the 289 AGMs and EGMs participated in so far during calendar 2025. Thanks to the ease of online access once COVID hit, there was a healthy 70 in 2021, then 130 in 2022, a slight reduction to 109 in 2023, followed by a record 201 in 2024. This lifted the overall tally since 1998 to almost 1200 and we're on track for a new record of almost 300 in 2025.

Below is the text of the 4 written questions submitted at the 48 minute Reece (REH) 10am Melbourne time virtual AGM via Computershare platform on November 21, 2025. Nominated for the board and they commendably published the platform in full in the notice of meeting. See nomination letter. The platform included the following: “Stephen nominated for the Reece board out of concern about the company's excessive secrecy, poor communications with shareholders, lack of independent directors, abandonment of the independent chair model, high recent turnover of independent directors and the 60% slump in the share price since September 2024. Stephen is the first person not endorsed by the controlling Wilson family to nominate for the Reece board since it listed in 1974. His candidacy is intended to provide a safe platform for shareholders to register their concerns and consequentially open opportunities for dialogue with company representatives about reforms whilst knowing that the controlling family will ensure his candidacy is unsuccessful.” Sadly, few shareholders took the opportunity to send a protest vote as only managed 0.63% in the poll. As ASA noted in last year's Reece AGM report, the directors were effusive about luring former NAB CEO Ross McEwen on as lead independent director, but then he quit a few months later after winning the race to chair BHP. They are still looking for a new lead independent director. Market cap was $6.64 billion on AGM day. The proxies were not disclosed early in the formal addresses. See AFR write-up of the meeting.

With the world's biggest small portfolio and the luxury of our own publication, there is no problem speaking at AGMs these days. However, as a regular reporter for mainstream newspapers and someone who was almost financially ruined there were plenty of meetings over the years which I attended but didn't ask questions at. Here is a list of them, along with any relevent reports from the day.
This article appeared in the Chartered Secretaries Australia magazine in 2006.
The 2021 AGM mini season was unique because it was a combination of physical, online only and hybrid AGMs. Here is what happened, including whether companies have made a full archive of the meeting available.
This was first published by Crikey in 2000, but has resonance today as we strive to improve public company AGMs.
This list track chairs that have claimed proxy adviser recommendations are confidential.
Here is the full list of 1121 public company AGMs or EGMs where Stephen Mayne has asked questions as a shareholder or proxy since it all began for The Daily Telegraph way back in October 1998, complete with links to stories written at the time, AGM webcasts, transcripts and any relevant media coverage. Thanks to online AGMs after COVID, it has cranked up in the past 5 years with 30 AGMs in 2020, a record 70 in 2021 and then 130 in 2022 followed by 109 in 2023, then 201 in 2024 and 120 so far in 2025.
This list tracks the chronological roll out of 212 AGMs on the last day of the main AGM season, Friday, November 29, 2024. There were only 46 identified before the day, a further 43 which were sourced from this list of 168 last day laggards in 2023 and the balance which were discovered on the day. As you can see below, the majority are Perth-based miners running physical meetings in the world's most isolated city so too bad if you're an east coast retail shareholder. Also, see this list of all 201 AGMs attended in calendar 2024 and this larger list of how more than 500 AGMs played out during 2024.
Here is the calendar of completed AGMs and EGMs in 2025 up until September 15, 2025 when the main AGM season kicked in.

Finally, here's the master list of more than 1100 AGMs/EGMs since 1998.

Here is a wrap of 32 AGM engagements with New Zealand-based companies which are dual-listed on the ASX and offered hybrid AGMs since they become common after the pandemic.

This list tracks the disorganised companies which held their AGMs on Thursday, November 30, 2023, the last possible day under the law and the ASX listing rules for companies with a June 30 balance date. 30 had communicated with the ASX before the 10am opening of trade, 52 by 11am, 71 by 1pm and 40 which landed after 6pm. There were 3 more (Argenica, Korab Resources and Peppermint Innovations) who fessed up on December 1, hence the increase from 165 to 168. We've also added some 2024 data to see if the name and shame approach changed market practice.
