As per the 1st sentence of the article, it's less about being there but about asking questions:

Shell will no longer give press conferences when presenting its annual and quarterly results.

Journalists will be allowed to call in and listen but not ask questions

So even when supporting Shell and buying shares to attend, there won't be a press conference with questions and answers.

Shareholders can ask questions at shareholders meetings

This is article is not about a shareholder meeting though. It's naming the annual and quarterly financial presentations.

Yeah, I've read a bit more on it, and it's not good. The regulations haven't been changed since 1985, they need to be reformed with more power given to individuals.

Problem is most people buy shares from intermediaries where you don't actually get registered as a shareholder with the company.
