The AGM is the one time in the year when BAE's board of directors have to face direct questions from shareholders. This year's AGM presents a great opportunity for CAAT to sustain the pressure that has built up around the company in the months running up to and since the judicial review proceedings of the 14th and 15th February.
Through our actions at the AGM, CAAT will continue to highlight BAE corruption and the government's attempt to put BAE above the law. We will also be highlighting the nature of BAE's current advertising campaign in the United Kingdom. In a blatant attempt to cover up and divert attention away from the negative press surrounding allegations of corruption and the government's curtailment of the Serious Fraud Office inquiry, BAE have launched an aggressive PR campaign to convince the public of the indispensable role they play within UK business and society.
Last year CAAT's protests at the BAE AGM generated a great deal of media interest, and lots of people turned out to protest. Inside the AGM itself the question and answer session was dominated by questions from CAAT token shareholders, placing the board under immense pressure to address our concerns. This year promises to be even more exciting.
Join our protest
On the day of the AGM itself CAAT supporters will once again have the opportunity to act as 'token shareholders' and participate in the meeting itself, asking a range of questions designed to hold the company to account.
The AGM itself starts at 11am, with doors opening at 10.30am. There will be a peaceful protest outside starting from 9.30am. The protest itself provides an opportunity for all supporters to get involved. There will also be a public meeting after the AGM and the protest. This will be a chance to debrief the day; for those outside to hear news from within the AGM, and for token shareholders to hear about the protest outside and any media interest.
If you'd like to join the action, or for more information please fill in the form below.
