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.
Special Meeting. Refers to a meeting of shareholders outside the usual annual general meeting. In the context of corporate governance, some limitations either increase the level of shareholder support required to call a special meeting beyond that specified by state law or eliminate the ability to call one entirely.
Here are a few valid reasons for calling a special meeting: An urgent matter needs to be dealt with before the next regular meeting. There is a proposal to amend bylaws. Adopting or amending special rules of order.
Special meetings of the shareholders may be called for any purpose or purposes, at any time, by the Chief Executive Officer; by the Chief Financial Officer; by the Board or any two or more members thereof; or by one or more shareholders holding not less than 10% of the voting power of all shares of the corporation ...
A special meeting is a gathering of people that is called for a specific purpose or reason. It is different from a regular meeting because it is not scheduled in advance and is only held when necessary.
In contrast, a special board meeting is a meeting that is not scheduled well in advance and is called by someone – authorized either under the law or the organization's bylaws – for a special purpose.
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 formalities for calling (or convening) shareholders' meetings are much stricter than those for board meetings. At least fourteen clear days' written notice must be given to all shareholders, directors and any auditor. This is regardless of whether resolutions are to be passed as ordinary or special resolutions.
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.
