If your business is set up and registered as a Corporation, you're required by law to hold an annual shareholder meeting and to document the meeting with minutes.
The members (including shareholders) of the company are entitled to attend and vote at the AGM. Members can cast their votes by a physical ballot or postal ballot or through e-voting. Members can appoint proxies to attend an AGM and vote on their behalf only when it is a poll vote.
Often these matters are resolved by unanimous consent, but if there is disagreement, a majority vote is sufficient to permit people to attend or to speak when no motion is pending. A 2/3 vote is required to suspend the rules and permit nonmembers to speak in debate.
In many companies, every shareholder or guarantor can attend and vote at general meetings. However, it depends on the rights attached to each member's shares (in a company limited by shares) or class of membership (in a company limited by guarantee).
Notification to Shareholders Annual shareholder meetings require a notice period of at least 21 days. The notice period can be shortened with the expressed consent of all shareholders. The notice should include all the basic meeting details and other important pieces of documentation, such as the meeting agenda.
In many companies, every shareholder or guarantor can attend and vote at general meetings.
Members of the public rarely access annual general meetings in person. Depending on a company's articles of association, members of the board may decide whether to allow public access. When the board members allow the public to access an AGM, they have no voting privileges.
The formalities for calling (or convening) shareholders' meetings are much stricter than those for board meetings. At least fourteen clear days' written notice must be given to all shareholders, directors and any auditor. This is regardless of whether resolutions are to be passed as ordinary or special resolutions.
Both the meeting organizer and the recording initiator need to have recording permissions to record the meeting. Meeting organizers with a Teams Premium license can use their meeting options to control who can record and transcribe. Many users use meetings and calls interchangeably depending on their needs.
All proceedings of a meeting of the board of directors must be recorded in a set of minutes. Any meetings of the shareholders should also be followed up by a set of minutes and on some occasions; the resolutions passed at that meeting will need filing at Companies House.
