A shareholders' meeting may also be called on shorter notice than the period prescribed, provided that every shareholder who is entitled to vote is present at the meeting and votes to waive the minimum notice period.
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.
The general meeting called within six months of the end of the previous fiscal year is known as the “annual” general meeting (or “AGM”). If a general meeting is held outside that time frame, it is “extraordinary” (“EGM”) and meant to address urgent or pressing matters that couldn't be settled at the AGM.
A general meeting can be called (ie initiated) either by the company directors or requested by the company shareholders. Different periods of notice are required depending on how a general meeting is being called, the type of company calling it, and whether or not the meeting is an AGM.
In general, companies require a letter or similar notification from investors having a sufficient number of shares, demanding a special meeting and stating the purpose for that meeting. The company can then set the date for the meeting, typically within a 30 to 90 day time period after receipt of the demand.
In shareholders' meetings, this means aligning the agenda with shareholder rights and interests. In board meetings, the agenda should focus on strategic and oversight matters.
