Abstract
If a shareholder is interested in other, further information than the data provided by the joint-stock company itself, they must employ their right to information at the general meeting. However, this legal rule clashes with practices known mainly abroad, where selected shareholders (institutional shareholders as a rule) are communicating with the company outside the general meeting as well.
Such communication without providing further information is hard to imagine. The contribution examines the issue of providing information outside a general meeting from the aspect of Czech Company Law and try to answer the question if (and to what extent) providing of such information is admitted.
