FAQ
Every company should have an Annual General Meeting (AGM) in ance with legislation and/or in line with the company constitution (Articles of Association and Memoranda). However, shareholders can request that the directors call a general meeting at any time.
A general meeting can be called by the company directors or shareholders. A minimum notice period of 14 days is required for calling a general meeting in a private limited company. The notice must be sent to every member and director, and any persons entitled to a share on the death or bankruptcy of a shareholder.
Yes and no. In most cases, they are not unless the company's articles of association state that they are (the model articles do not state this). However, a general meeting is compulsory if the removal of a company director or an auditor is being discussed.
Any director may call a directors' meeting by giving notice of the meeting to the directors or by authorising the company secretary to give such notice.
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.
In short, yes. Non Board members can attend meetings.
The distinction is that not all shareholders are directors and not all directors are shareholders. So if it's a shareholder's meeting, the people might have some voting power and be able to provide their opinion on things at hand (when their opinion is asked for by those with power, such as directors).
Convening a Meeting 1.1 Authority A General Meeting shall be convened by or on the authority of the Board. The authority to convene a General Meeting of the company shall either be with the Board itself or with a Director, Company Secretary, Manager or any other officer of the company under the authority of the Board.
Board meetings must provide an opportunity for the public to address the board on items of public interest within the board's jurisdiction. (Government Code section 54954.3.)
While shareholders' meetings represent ownership, board meetings embody the company's leadership. The board of directors, acting as a bridge between management and shareholders, is responsible for making strategic decisions, overseeing management, and safeguarding the company's long-term interests.
