FAQ
Yes, an AGM has to be held once a year and all members of the association, as defined in its constitution, should be invited to attend. This is the main way members hold the committee to account for its running of the association.
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.
Members of the public rarely access annual general meetings in person. Depending on a company's articles of association, members of the board may decide whether to allow public access. When the board members allow the public to access an AGM, they have no voting privileges.
The members (including shareholders) of the company are entitled to attend and vote at the AGM. Members can cast their votes by a physical ballot or postal ballot or through e-voting. Members can appoint proxies to attend an AGM and vote on their behalf only when it is a poll vote.
A general meeting is a members' meeting, but certain non-members may also be entitled to attend. It's important to check the articles of association and any shareholders' agreement to determine the rules and restrictions for attending general meetings.
In many companies, every shareholder or guarantor can attend and vote at general meetings.
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.
Directors who fail to follow the AGM requirements can be prosecuted in court, and may also face disqualification or debarment from being a director. In addition, ACRA can impose composition fines on companies that do not hold the required AGMs.
