Why is a notice required for meetings? A board meeting notice is necessary to inform the members that they should be available at a certain time and date to discuss important company matters.
At an annual general meeting (AGM), directors of the company present the company's financial performance and shareholders vote on the issues at hand. Shareholders who do not attend the meeting in person may usually vote by proxy, which can be done online or by mail.
The special meeting aims to enable the shareholders to know the company's affairs and vote on the management's recommendations in the proposed resolution. The shareholders are equally essential in the decision-making process.
