The requirements for giving notice of shareholder meetings are strictly regulated under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Generally, companies must provide at least 21 days' written notice for a meeting, though longer periods may be specified in the company constitution.
Most state corporate laws require that shareholders receive written notice of a meeting within a specific time frame—typically no less than 10 and no more than 60 days before the meeting date.
A notice of meeting is a written document that informs company members and shareholders that a meeting will take place. It is an invitation that details the time and place of the scheduled meeting and also informs stakeholders of the topics to be discussed.
A corporation's bylaws or certificate of incorporation may allow the board, executives, or qualifying shareholders to call a special meeting. Notice requirements vary by state but often require 10–60 days' advance notice, with Delaware and California offering clear statutory guidelines.
A shareholders' meeting cannot commence without a quorum, typically at least 25% of voting rights present. Specific matters require the presence of attendees representing at least 25% of the voting rights for that item. Meetings cannot start or proceed unless at least three shareholders are present.
A General Meeting is simply a meeting of shareholders and 21 days' notice must be given to shareholders, but this can be reduced to 14 days, or increased to 28 days, in certain situations.
Minimum number of members required to constitute a valid meeting and to transact business therein is called 'quorum'. No meeting can be valid without quorum. Any resolution passed at a meeting without quorum shall be invalid.
