GCB Bank schedules 32nd AGM for April 17 with hybrid participation

GCB Bank PLC has announced that its 32nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Friday, April 17, 2026, with shareholders given the option to participate both in person and virtually.

According to an amended notice issued by the bank, the meeting will take place at the auditorium of University of Professional Studies Accra at 11:00 a.m., while also being streamed live via a dedicated online platform, the bank’s official social media channels and on Ghana Television.

The AGM is expected to consider several key items of business, including the presentation of the bank’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, together with reports from the directors and auditors.

Shareholders will also vote on the re-election of directors retiring by rotation, namely Prof. Joshua A. Alabi, Dr. Alhaji Yahaya Abdul-Rahman and Ms. Pamela Seyram Addo.

In addition, the meeting will deliberate on the ratification of the appointment of Mr. Abdulsalam Alhassan as Executive Director in charge of Wholesale and Investment Banking.

Issues relating to directors’ remuneration will also feature prominently on the agenda, including the ratification of payments made above the approved budget for the 2025 financial year and the approval of remuneration for 2026.

The Board is further seeking authorisation to determine the fees of external auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, for the 2026 financial year.

Another significant item on the agenda is a proposal to waive the statutory 21-day notice period required for dividend declaration, paving the way for shareholders to consider and approve a dividend for the 2025 financial year.

The bank has indicated that all voting during the meeting will be conducted strictly through an online platform, in line with its digital participation framework.

The amended notice, dated April 13, 2026, was issued by the Company Secretary, Amma Agyeman Kusi-Appouh, on the authority of the Board.
