FAQ
Shareholders holding at least $2,000 worth of stock in a publicly-traded company for at least three years prior to the filing deadline can introduce a resolution to company management to be voted on at the next annual meeting.
There are two main types of resolutions in a limited company: ordinary and special. Shareholders use both in situations where the directors have no authority to make a decision. An ordinary resolution can be described as 'ordinary' or routine decisions made by the shareholders.
Which resolutions must be filed with Companies House? While all special resolutions must be filed with the registrar of companies, comparatively few ordinary resolutions need to be filed with them. Two ordinary resolutions which do need to be filed at Companies House are: Re-denomination of shares to another currency.
The resolution is considered as 'passed' when the last member signs (i.e. 100% of voting members agree to pass the resolution.) The 75% threshold only applies to votes cast at a physical meeting; 100% of votes are needed to pass a resolution without a meeting.
You do not always need to have a meeting to pass a resolution. If enough shareholders or directors have told you they agree, you can usually confirm the resolution in writing. You must write to all shareholders letting them know about the outcome of a resolution.
If the resolution is to be passed in lieu of a meeting, the requirement is that not less than 75% of shareholders who, together, hold not less than 75% of the shares, vote in favour of the resolution.
A special resolution must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by shareholders of the company entitled to vote on the resolution and who vote at the meeting in person or by proxy (if proxies are allowed). The sole shareholder of a company may pass a resolution by recording and signing their decision.
You can find out the names of the shareholders of a public company through several resources. If you wish to find out the names of large shareholders of a public company that has filed with the SEC, you can find this information by searching EDGAR, the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System.
The resolutions can also be found in the relevant sections of our Corporate folder to which they relate and reference should be made to that specific section for more detailed information. Each document in the Special and Ordinary Shareholders' Resolutions folder is compliant with the Companies Act 2006.
As soon as a new corporation issues shares, the investors become the shareholders of the company. All the records are kept in the balance sheet under the common stock equity account. These have the complete number of shares authorized, and also the shares outstanding in the company.
