Of course, shareholders have a legal right to attend annual meetings. It is, after all, the one time each year they have an opportunity to sit in the same room with representatives from the company.
Annual General Meeting (AGM) During these meetings, corporate board members present annual financial reports and accounts to be ratified by shareholders. Shareholders can also question board decisions and vote on the appointment, election, or removal of company directors.
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.
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.
In order to have a legal meeting you must have a quorum of shareholders present. Typically, a quorum is defined as a representative of more than half of all shares outstanding. There are many other items that can be included on the agenda for an annual shareholder meeting.
In order for shareholder action taken at a meeting to be valid, four elements are required: (1) the meeting must be called; (2) the corporation must give proper notice; (3) a quorum of shares must be present at the meeting; and (4) the action must be approved by a sufficient vote.
All shareholders must be notified of the format, date, time, and place of the meeting. How far in advance notices should be distributed may depend on your state, but generally, they should be sent out more than 10 days prior to the meeting, but less than 60 days.
An annual general meeting (AGM) is a yearly meeting between shareholders and the board of directors. AGMs are mandatory events for private and public companies and require a notice period of at least 21 days. The notice period can be shortened if all shareholders with the right to attend and vote consent to doing so.
