FAQ
Although a private company is not legally required to hold an AGM, its corporate governance documents will likely require AGMs to be held at least annually, if not more frequently.
AGMs are mandatory for both public and private companies. All shareholders are legally obligated to receive an invitation to these meetings. The board of directors should also be represented. An auditor may also be present if the organization is subject to an audit requirement.
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.
Does a Private Company need to hold AGMs? There is no statutory obligation for private companies to hold an AGM. An AGM will only need to be held if the company's articles of association require it (there is no requirement in the model articles either).
Every Company whether, public or private, limited by shares or guarantee, with or without share capital or unlimited company is required to hold an AGM every year.
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.
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.
All companies except One Person Company (OPC) should hold an AGM after the end of each financial year.
During a shareholders' meeting, voting takes place by a show of hands, but it can also be carried out by secret ballot at the request of any shareholder or agent who is entitled to vote. You may vote to: Elect members of the board of directors. Appoint auditors. Accept resolutions.
A corporation is able to buy and sell property, sue and be sued, and protect its owners from liability. The owners, called shareholders, are individuals who own shares of the corporation's stock. The stock can be owned by one individual or many individuals.
