SayPro provides regular updates and reports to shareholders, ensuring they have access to comprehensive information about the company’s performance, strategy, governance, and future outlook.

2. AGM (Annual General Meeting) Communication
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is a key communication platform where shareholders are informed about the company’s performance, strategy, and governance.
- Pre-AGM Notices: Shareholders receive an official notice of the AGM, including the meeting date, agenda, and instructions on how to attend (in-person or virtually), as well as how to submit questions or proposals.

This process is explained in the AGM notice and allows shareholders to cast their vote on key resolutions, including election of directors, financial statements approval, and other significant decisions.
3. Direct Communication Channels
We prioritize building strong and direct communication lines with our shareholders to ensure they have easy access to the information they need and can express any concerns or feedback.

- Social Media: SayPro maintains active profiles on major social media platforms, including LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook, where shareholders can follow company updates, key announcements, and other relevant news. While these channels are more public-facing, they provide an opportunity for shareholders to stay informed and engage with the company’s activities.

This feedback is used to enhance our business practices, improve communication, and guide strategic decision-making.

- Investor Advisory Panel: For larger or more complex issues, SayPro may establish an Investor Advisory Panel composed of selected shareholders to provide more in-depth feedback and guidance on key decisions or challenges facing the company.
6. Corporate Governance and Reporting

- Ethics and Compliance: Shareholders are kept informed about ethics and compliance policies, including anti-corruption measures, conflict of interest policies, and SayPro’s commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR).
7. Crisis and Special Situations Communication
In the event of a crisis, significant corporate changes, or unexpected challenges, SayPro ensures that shareholders are promptly informed through:
- Crisis Communication: In the case of unexpected situations such as regulatory changes, major financial adjustments, or emergency events, SayPro communicates directly with shareholders through press releases, investor calls, and updates on the company website.
- Special Shareholder Meetings: If urgent matters arise that require shareholder approval, such as mergers, acquisitions, or major restructuring, SayPro will call for a special shareholder meeting to ensure that shareholders have the opportunity to vote on critical decisions.
