There are three types of shareholders' meetings: an ordinary meeting, an extraordinary meeting and a special meeting.
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.

The company can also send a meeting notice directly to its shareholders.

An Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) is an exceptional assembly convened by a company to deliberate and decide on matters of urgency that cannot await the routine schedule of an Annual General Meeting (AGM). AGMs, which follow regular intervals, serve as forums for routine corporate activities.
