FAQ

Two different types of directors sit on boards: those who are part of the executive management team and those who are independent, non-executive directors. Directors who are non-executive should serve on boards as 'critical friends'. They are there to act as unbiased advisors who provide objective advice to the board.

In short, yes. Non Board members can attend meetings. There are a number of reasons you might want to have this policy. Perhaps you need to invite senior staff members of your organisation.

If you have not received your attendance card in time for the Meeting, on the day of the Meeting you must go to the Reception Desk and present your valid proof of ID and, for those shareholders holding shares in bearer form, a certificate of participation issued by your financial intermediary.

In short, yes. Non Board members can attend meetings. There are a number of reasons you might want to have this policy. Perhaps you need to invite senior staff members of your organisation.

The Directors shall attend Board Meetings in person. If unable to attend, a Director may appoint another Director to attend on his behalf by proxy which specifies the scope of authorization; any appointee shall not act as proxy for more than one Director.

Annual shareholder meetings require a notice period of at least 21 days. The notice period can be shortened with the expressed consent of all shareholders. The notice should include all the basic meeting details and other important pieces of documentation, such as the meeting agenda.

In this case, it may be warranted for the board to go into executive session without the CEO and include “witnesses” who are not board members. This should be rarely and only done with guidance of legal counsel.

Generally, all shareholders, at the record date set by the board, may participate in the corporation's annual general meeting (AGM), and are entitled to vote (unless they hold non-voting shares) in person or by proxy (see DGCL, sections 212(b) and (c) and 213).

The minutes must include the name of the attendees at the meeting, the time and day of the meeting, as well as the focus and decisions made at the meeting. The minutes must record what happened at the meeting, even if nothing of importance occurred.

A general meeting is any regularly scheduled gathering where a quorum of shareholders meets to discuss business topics and address resolutions in ance with company bylaws and current regulations.
