BMA: Hold Virtual Meetings When Cannot Meet
“The Authority expects registrants to continue to conduct their board meetings virtually, by telephone, video conference, or other virtual means, where it is not practical to meet physically during this period,” the Bermuda Monetary Authority said.
The BMA said, “The Bermuda Monetary Authority [Authority] recognises the significant challenge COVID-19 continues to have on registrants’ ability to hold physical board of directors meetings in Bermuda.
“In assessing compliance with the requirement to hold physical board meetings in Bermuda for the period ending 30 September 2020, the Authority will take into account all circumstances including registrants’ inability to hold such meetings due to logistical and health difficulties resulting from COVID-19.
“However, the Authority also recognises that holding frequent board of directors meetings is vital in managing the immediate and long-term challenges arising from COVID-19. As a result, the Authority expects registrants to continue to conduct their board meetings virtually, by telephone, video conference, or other virtual means, where it is not practical to meet physically during this period.
