California law requires ALL California corporations, even those owned by a single shareholder, to hold an annual meeting of the shareholder(s) for the purpose of electing the board of directors.
Prepare copies of the meeting agenda and any relevant reports (financial statements, proxy statements, etc.) for attendees, either in physical form or through a secure online portal. Determine the voting method (electronic voting platform, paper ballots, etc.) and ensure everyone understands the process.
A shareholders' meeting is a meeting held by the shareholders of a company to discuss the arrangements of the company or to vote in the election of board members.
Shareholders' meetings are held annually. The company sets a record dateThe record date is the date on which a shareholder must be registered on the books of a company in order to receive dividends or exercise a right, such as the right to vote at the general meeting of shareholders.
Federal and state-level laws, as well as a company's incorporation documents, require public and private corporations—including C-corps—to have boards of directors (BoDs). Companies that are formed as LLCs (limited liability companies) do not have the same requirements, although some still choose to assemble a board.
Annual shareholder meetings are necessary but they can be costly, ill-attended and often do not add value other than their vital purpose under corporate law.
Not complying with regulations regarding annual shareholder meetings can put your company, and its owners, at personal risk for liability.
Scheduling AGMs While not mandatory for private companies, many opt to hold their AGM, as allowed by their Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI). The first AGM must be held within 18 months of the company's incorporation, with subsequent AGMs held annually, ensuring no more than 15 months elapse between meetings.
