- GCB Bank sets April 17 date for 32nd AGM, dividend declaration on agenda
GCB Bank PLC has scheduled its 32nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Friday, April 17, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., with shareholders set to consider a number of important resolutions, including the bank’s 2025 financial statements, board matters, and a proposed dividend declaration for the year ended December 31, 2025.
According to the amended notice, the meeting will be held in person at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) Auditorium and also broadcast virtually through the bank’s AGM platform, its official Facebook and YouTube pages, and GTV. This hybrid arrangement is intended to give shareholders wider access and ensure that those unable to attend physically can still follow proceedings and participate in the governance process of the bank.
The agenda shows that the meeting will cover several key issues. Shareholders will receive and consider the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, together with the reports of the directors and auditors. They will also vote on the re-election of Prof. Joshua A. Alabi, Dr. Alhaji Yahaya Abdul-Rahman and Ms. Pamela Seyram Addo, all of whom are retiring by rotation, and consider the ratification of the appointment of Mr. Abdulsalam Alhassan as Executive Director in charge of Wholesale and Investment Banking.
Other matters for decision include the ratification of excess directors’ remuneration above budget for 2025, approval of directors’ remuneration for the 2026 financial year, and authorisation for the board to determine the remuneration of PwC as external auditors for the year ending December 31, 2026. Also on the agenda is a resolution to waive the 21-day notice period required in respect of dividend declaration ahead of the formal vote on the dividend itself.
For shareholders, the AGM is more than a routine annual formality. It is one of the most important opportunities to directly engage with the direction of the bank, review its financial performance, and take part in decisions that affect corporate governance, board composition and returns to investors. Participation matters because the AGM resolutions shape how the bank oversees itself and how it represents shareholder interests in the year ahead.
The bank has also made clear that voting on the day of the meeting will be conducted strictly through online voting, making it essential for shareholders to be prepared ahead of time if they intend to vote on the various resolutions. With dividend approval, board re-elections, and key governance matters all on the table, shareholders have strong reasons to follow the proceedings closely and ensure their voices are counted.
