    A NUMBER of Straits Times Index (STI) issuers are moving away from the virtual format for their upcoming annual general meeting (AGM).

    This comes ahead of a regulatory deadline that requires a physical, or in-person, meeting to be the default mode from July.

    Among the 30 STI companies, 21 have a financial year that ends in December. Of these, 18 had made known their upcoming AGM formats as at Monday (Apr 3). All but four will be holding a physical meeting.
