seev.001 — Meeting Notification

The shareholder meeting notice (AGM/EGM) in ISO 20022 format. Issued by the issuer via its agent to the holders, it is the pivot of cross-border proxy voting under Shareholder Rights Directive II (SRD II, 2017, transposed in 2019).

Purpose and place in the flow

seev.001 notifies shareholders (via the custody chain) of a meeting: date, location, agenda, voted resolutions, voting deadline, modalities (in-person, proxy, e-voting). It is the mandatory standard for European listed companies since SRD II (transposed into French law via the PACTE law in September 2020).

The holder (or its custodian) responds with seev.004 (Meeting Vote Instruction) to vote. Results are reported via seev.005 (Meeting Vote Status Report) and seev.006 (Meeting Notice). Full workflow: issuer → CSD → custodian chain → ultimate shareholder.

XML structure

• Id — Unique notification identifier.
• NtfctnTp — Type (NEWM, RPLC, REMI = reminder).
• Mtg — Meeting details: MtgId, type (AGMT = annual general meeting, OGMT = ordinary, XGMT = extraordinary), date/time, location, participation and voting deadlines.
• MtgDtls — Meeting organiser and issuer (ISIN of the security).
• Rsltn (Resolution) — repeatable: each voted resolution with title, type (MDTY mandatory, ELC elective), status, vote type.

Common pitfalls

• Voting deadline vs custodian deadline — the DdlnForVtg in seev.001 is the issuer's final deadline. Each custodian in the chain sets its own deadline earlier (typically T-1 or T-2). The ultimate holder must vote before the custodian deadline.
• ISIN ≠ voting-eligible security — for multi-class shares (Class A, Class B), only certain classes have voting rights. Check Rsltn to identify the eligible class.
• NEWM vs RPLC — NEWM is a new notification. RPLC replaces an earlier one (typically after a resolution change or deadline shift). Track replacements.
• SRD II non-compliance — since September 2020, EU listed companies must issue SRD II-compliant seev.001. A paper or unstructured notification is no longer sufficient.
• Broken vote chain — each custodian must relay seev.001 within 24h (SRD II art. 3a). A chain break causes denial of voting rights.
