Attend to Final Purchase Dates for Shareholders' Meeting Souvenirs – UMC's Cappo Pens and Grandeur Sports Gift Packs Offered with Fractional Shares!
25 March 2025 · Uncategorized ·
The annual peak season for shareholders' meetings is approaching. For small investors, one of their main concerns before attending these meetings involves the souvenirs distributed during shareholder meeting sessions. This year's highlights include a limited edition steel pen set from UMC in collaboration with Cappo and Grandeur Sports’ 4000 NT$ gift pack as well as Lion Travel’s domestic and international group tour vouchers worth 700 NT$. Investors who wish to receive these souvenirs must pay attention to the last purchase date.
The pre-meeting battle for shareholder meetings revolves around souvenir distribution. Over time, major items distributed have been categorized into four types: daily necessities, food & health products, electrical appliances and high-value commodity vouchers. In recent years, co-branded merchandise has become particularly popular due to its trendiness and cost-effectiveness.
Each company holds their shareholders' meeting on different dates but must achieve a majority attendance rate for decision-making purposes; therefore, some companies use souvenirs as incentives to attract shareholder participation in the meetings. Companies typically start preparing share registers two months before the meeting date and send out 'meeting notices' one month prior.
Investors need to hold shares at least 62 days (including two trading days) ahead of the shareholders’ meeting day, so those who wish to receive souvenirs must pay attention to their last purchase dates. For instance, this year's most popular Grandeur Sports gift pack with a value of NT$4000 has its final buy-in date set for March 25th; UMC’s Cappo-branded limited edition steel pen sets and Lion Travel vouchers worth NT$700 are available until March 26th.
UMC has been sending cat-themed souvenirs, including a 'Love Earth Bowl Set' in collaboration with Cappo in 2023 followed by the sustainable travel mug for 2024. This year's offering is another limited edition steel pen set from UMC and Cappo; investors wishing to receive these items must purchase shares no later than March 26th, those holding less than one thousand shares can still claim their souvenirs if they attend the meeting in person or exercise voting rights electronically.
Grandeur Sports has once again increased its offerings this year providing shareholders with a valuable return through its official app 'Grandeur Plus.' Shareholders who hold at least 1 share are eligible to receive an NT$800 consumption voucher and eight monthly play coupons for buy-one-get-one-free offers. The total value exceeds NT$4000, making it one of the richest offerings in recent years; additionally those holding more than a thousand shares will also get another NT$800 consumption voucher.
For shareholders who wish to participate in this year's benefits program offered by Grandeur Sports and Lion Travel they must buy their stocks no later than March 25th for Grandeur Sports or March 31st for Lion Travel. A special promotion is being held where participants can enter a lottery drawing from May 26th until June 30th to win an American MLB game-watching trip.
For those holding more than one thousand shares of Wide Horizon Arts they will receive two benefits: 'Chiang Hui Shareholder and Fan Welfare' as well as half-price ticket packages. The last buy-in date for these stocks is March 31st; detailed information on the discounts can be found in their meeting notice sent out from May 2nd.
Starlux Airlines offers a NT$1500 discount to its shareholders, marking three consecutive years of providing such benefits. Shareholders must purchase shares no later than April 10th for this year's offer.
The 'Shareholder Meeting Notice' is crucial as it details the meeting time and location, souvenir content, and collection methods; if small investors are available they can attend in person to collect souvenirs or authorize someone else through a proxy form. Otherwise other pickup options such as designated share service agencies will be provided.
Each company has its own rules regarding these matters which should all be detailed within the 'Shareholder Meeting Notice.' Some companies may specify that only shareholders holding more than 1000 shares are eligible for souvenirs; if a notice states those with less than one thousand shares must attend in person or vote electronically to claim their gifts then they need either option completed by three days after the meeting.
It is recommended that small investors use apps like 'Central Depository e-Statement' and electronic voting websites such as “Shareholder E-Voting” for completing votes. Lastly, it’s important for shareholders to check relevant information in advance through related sites regarding dates of meetings collection restrictions share service agencies gift distribution points etc ensuring a smooth process.
