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.
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 many companies, every shareholder or guarantor can attend and vote at general meetings.
If your business is set up and registered as a Corporation, you're required by law to hold an annual shareholder meeting and to document the meeting with minutes.
Often these matters are resolved by unanimous consent, but if there is disagreement, a majority vote is sufficient to permit people to attend or to speak when no motion is pending. A 2/3 vote is required to suspend the rules and permit nonmembers to speak in debate.

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.
