ConveneAGM is proud to announce that Ayala Group, one of the Philippines’ oldest and largest conglomerates, has decided to transition to our cutting-edge AGM software for its upcoming Annual Stockholders Meetings (ASM). This collaboration aims to deliver a more seamless and engaging meeting experience for Ayala’s stockholders.
Ayala Group, previously using an in-house system, recognized the need to update to a more efficient, cost-effective platform to hold its ASMs. The company opted for ConveneAGM, a secure, fully compliant platform that hosted over 1,000 virtual, hybrid, and physical AGMs across Asia. By partnering with ConveneAGM, Ayala transitions to a smoother and more modern approach to stockholder meetings — improving not just participant experience but also operational efficiency.
“Partnering with ConveneAGM will enable us to focus on what we do best while ensuring our stockholders have a seamless experience during our ASMs,” said Franchette M. Acosta, Chief Legal Officer of Ayala Corporation. “We’re excited to embrace this new platform to maintain transparency and engagement in the ASMs without worrying about any technical complexities.”
With ConveneAGM as its new stockholders’ meeting platform, Ayala Group also aims to use it to synchronize participation and improve meetings across its subsidiaries: Ayala Corporation, ACEN, ENEX, IMI, Globe Telecom Inc., Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), Ayala Land Inc., and AREIT.
Jerry Chua, Director at Azeus, the team behind ConveneAGM, remarked, “Our platform aims to eliminate Ayala Group’s challenges in system maintenance while enhancing the ASM voting process for its stockholders. ConveneAGM is purpose-built for a secure, seamless, and cost-effective AGM experience.”
ConveneAGM is a market leader in modern AGM technology, trusted by major Philippine corporations, including Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Aboitiz Power, Globe Telecom, BPI, and ACEN. Its enterprise-grade platform is designed for superior stockholder engagement and governance. Besides being a cost-effective, scalable solution, ConveneAGM also offers:
- Advanced Voting and Voting In-Absentia — Real-time electronic voting with automated tabulation for guaranteed accuracy and meeting efficiency, including support for cumulative voting.
- Interactive Live Q&A — Experience real-time interaction between stockholders and company executives, and ensure transparency and engagement during annual meetings.
- Seamless Virtual and Hybrid Meeting Capabilities — Enables stockholders to attend and participate remotely (and/or in-person) and submit queries without barriers.
“As a company dedicated to empowering organizations with cutting-edge governance solutions, we’re honored to support the Ayala Group in modernizing its ASM processes,” Chua added.
As Ayala Group prepares for its upcoming ASMs this April, its adoption of ConveneAGM reflects its commitment to enhancing stockholder participation—and notably, reinforcing leadership in the digital reinvention of AGMs.
