FAQ
A shareholder agreement is a legal document that outlines the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of shareholders in a company. Its primary purpose is to establish a framework for the governance and management of the company, as well as to protect the interests of the shareholders.
Shareholder consent is often a defined term in the Shareholders' Agreement, and it is often defined as a percentage, say, 100% of shareholders are needed to consent to certain actions.
A Shareholders' Consent to Action Without Meeting, or a consent resolution, is a written statement that describes and validates a course of action taken by the shareholders of a particular corporation without a meeting having to take place between directors and/or shareholders.
Shareholder action taken by written consent is universally recognized as a valid approval by shareholders and this is expressly confirmed by California statute. The 10-day waiting period acts to delay the effectiveness of the action, which hinders a corporation's ability to act with speed and efficiency when necessary.
“Written Consent in Lieu of Meeting” is a legal mechanism that allows the board of directors, shareholders, or members of an organization to make a decision or approve a resolution without actually convening a physical or virtual meeting.
Typically, Stockholder Consents happen around large company decisions that can affect the stockholders' equity. Often times, a written consent will be drafted by the company and then signed by the stockholders in lieu of a physical or virtual meeting of the stockholders.
Examples of changes that may require stockholder approval include increasing or decreasing the number of authorized shares, changing voting requirements or altering dividend policies.
