FAQ

‍Shareholder resolutions allow shareholders to propose changes and express their view to management and the board of directors. This enables the shareholders, as owners of the company, to influence its policies and direction.

There are two main types of shareholders' resolution: 'ordinary' and 'special'. An ordinary resolution is passed by a simple majority of members, while a special resolution requires not less than 75% of the total voting rights of eligible members.

Examples: Shareholder resolutions can cover a broad spectrum of topics, such as appointing independent auditors, approving major transactions, amending the company's articles of association, or advocating for environmental and social responsibility initiatives.

What should shareholder resolutions include? Your corporation's name. Date, time and location of meeting. Statement that all shareholders agree to the resolution. Confirmation of the necessary quorum for business to be conducted. Names of shareholders present or voting by proxy. Number of shares for each voting shareholder.

A shareholders' resolution can either be passed during a formal meeting of the shareholders or in writing (without holding an actual meeting). Regardless of the method, the resolutions must be passed in ance with certain statutory, and possibly contractual, requirements.

Resolutions in private limited companies can be passed at a general meeting either by a poll or show of hands. Alternatively, they can be passed by a written resolution, in which the shareholder indicates their agreement in the manner the company requests.

There are two main types of shareholders' resolution: 'ordinary' and 'special'. An ordinary resolution is passed by a simple majority of members, while a special resolution requires not less than 75% of the total voting rights of eligible members.

A resolution in lieu of a meeting is a written resolution (signed by all shareholders who are entitled to vote at the meeting) that deals with all matters that need to be addressed at a shareholders' meeting. This resolution is just as valid as it would be if passed at a meeting of shareholders.

Is a shareholder resolution binding? Most shareholder resolutions are non-binding, or "precatory," to use the legal word of art. It means that the voting on these resolutions is less like a (binding) referendum or plebiscite and more like a poll.

Is a shareholders' agreement legally binding? Yes, a shareholders' agreement is a contract between the company and its shareholders and the agreement is governed by contract law. That is not to say, however, that the agreement is completely rigid.
