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 ...
In order to have a legal meeting you must have a quorum of shareholders present. Typically, a quorum is defined as a representative of more than half of all shares outstanding. There are many other items that can be included on the agenda for an annual shareholder meeting.
A general meeting can be called (ie initiated) either by the company directors or requested by the company shareholders. Different periods of notice are required depending on how a general meeting is being called, the type of company calling it, and whether or not the meeting is an AGM.
Notification to Shareholders Annual shareholder meetings require a notice period of at least 21 days. The notice period can be shortened with the expressed consent of all shareholders. The notice should include all the basic meeting details and other important pieces of documentation, such as the meeting agenda.
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.
The general meeting called within six months of the end of the previous fiscal year is known as the “annual” general meeting (or “AGM”). If a general meeting is held outside that time frame, it is “extraordinary” (“EGM”) and meant to address urgent or pressing matters that couldn't be settled at the AGM.
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.
For example, an annual general meeting (AGM) provides an opportunity for the board of directors and shareholders to come together, review the company's performance, and discuss its future direction.
Shareholders' meeting. A shareholders' meeting is a meeting held by the shareholders of a company to discuss the arrangements of the company or to vote in the election of board members.
Directors who do not ensure the approval of the annual accounts by the AGM face several sanctions: No Discharge: Without the approval of the accounts, directors cannot seek discharge for the past financial year.
