Companies Act 2014 section 1110F

Interpretation and application

Section 1110F defines key terms used in the chapter dealing with shareholder engagement obligations for institutional investors and asset managers whose competent Member State is Ireland.

• An "engagement activity" is any action, plan or document carried out or created to give effect to an engagement policy.
• A "relevant asset manager" is one that invests in shares traded on a regulated market on behalf of investors and for whom Ireland is the competent Member State under the Shareholders' Rights Directive.
• A "relevant institutional investor" is one that invests — directly or through an asset manager — in shares traded on a regulated market and for whom Ireland is the competent Member State under the Shareholders' Rights Directive.
• Any term used in this chapter that also appears in the Shareholders' Rights Directive carries the same meaning as in that Directive, unless the context requires otherwise.
