Which of the following rights is NOT included in the basic rights of shareholders under the Companies Act 2006?

The correct answer is the option that outlines a right not typically associated with the basic rights of shareholders under the Companies Act 2006, which is the right to attend company retreats.

Under the Companies Act 2006, shareholders hold fundamental rights that ensure they are informed and involved in the governance of the company. These rights include the right to receive annual accounts, which ensures that shareholders are kept up-to-date on the company’s financial performance; the right to share in profits, typically through dividends, which provides a return on their investment; and the right to vote at annual general meetings (AGMs), allowing shareholders to participate in critical decisions affecting the company's direction.

In contrast, attending company retreats does not fall under the statutory rights outlined in the Act. While a company may choose to invite shareholders to such events, it is not a legal requirement or a recognized shareholder right, distinguishing it from the other options listed, which are essential components of shareholder entitlements.
