On March 11, 2020, the British Columbia Supreme Court granted
TELUS Corporation an order permitting it to hold its 2020 annual
general meeting of shareholders as a virtual-only shareholder
meeting. The order was granted pursuant to the authority of a
court under section 186 of the British Columbia Business
Corporations Act to call a shareholder meeting in the manner
that the court directs. Similar provisions exist under the
corporate statutes of all other Canadian jurisdictions except the
Nova Scotia Companies Act. Among other things, the
order deemed shareholders who participate in the virtual-only
meeting to be present at the meeting and deemed the meeting to be
held at the location of TELUS’ registered office.
