This document summarizes key trends from the 2012 AGM season in the UK and globally. It finds that shareholder activism increased, particularly through social media. While electronic proxy voting is growing, there is still room for more electronic voting over paper. The UK trends of increasing shareholder opposition to executive pay and the influence of proxy advisors are consistent with global trends. New technologies like virtual meetings, mobile voting, and quick response codes are emerging. UK legislation will soon require binding shareholder votes on executive pay policies and advisory votes on pay applications. Globally, attendance varies but electronic voting is growing relative to paper, and sentiments around executive pay and shareholder rights are increasing across regions.

The study found that while mediation is widely available and can be publicly funded, it is not appropriate or successful for all disputes. Other ADR options are not as well recognized or funded. The document recommends establishing clear, consistent professional standards for ADR practitioners and introducing a neutral system to assess which process is most suitable based on the needs and positions of the parties in a given case.

The document is an OECD economic survey of Luxembourg that discusses several key topics:
1. Luxembourg has one of the highest GDP per capita and well-being outcomes in the OECD due to high incomes from the large financial sector.
2. However, the economy is highly dependent on the financial sector, creating vulnerabilities. Economic diversification could raise productivity and reduce risk.
3. Other sections evaluate strengthening the financial sector through regulation, raising productivity through more R&D investment, improving education, and increasing female labor participation to further diversify the economy.
The document summarizes key findings from the 2016 OECD Economic Survey of the Czech Republic.

Sovereign green bond issuance has grown significantly in both advanced and emerging economies since 2016. Green bonds make up the largest share of the labeled bond market. Major benefits of sovereign green bonds include their positive impact on creditworthiness and alignment with ESG policies. However, issuers also face challenges such as additional costs and complexity of the issuance process. Common leading practices emphasize transparency, collaboration, and commitment to reporting.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
