FAQ
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.
A resolution is a formal way in which a company can note decisions that are made at a meeting of company members. There are two types of resolutions: ordinary and special. Under the Corporations Act 2001, most of the decisions that affect a company need to be made by a resolution.
A Shareholders' Resolution form is a statement a company's shareholders use to record actions or decisions that are passed outside of a meeting. Generally, during in-person or remote shareholder meetings, decisions (i.e., resolutions) are recorded in the minutes and are kept in a minute book.
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.
As a general rule, resolutions of the shareholders' meeting are passed by a simple majority of votes, without the requirement of a quorum – unless otherwise stipulated in the limited liability company's articles of association or the Commercial Code. There is one vote for each share of equal nominal value.
However, significant matters that go beyond the scope of the directors' powers must be decided by the company shareholders. These types of shareholder decisions require shareholder resolutions, which can be passed at a general meeting or in writing.
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.
If the directors do not call a meeting as required to do so, under S304, the members who requested the meeting, or any of them representing more than one half of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves call a general meeting.
By having all of the shareholders record and sign their decision. If a meeting is held, an ordinary resolution must be passed by a majority of the votes cast by shareholders of the company entitled to vote on the resolution at the meeting in person or by proxy (if proxies are allowed).
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.
