FAQ
A corporate resolution refers to either a decision of the shareholders at a shareholders' meeting or a decision of the board of directors at a directors' 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.
Some of the matters that require a special resolution are:- – Amendment of the Articles of Association. Issue of sweat equity shares. Change in the registered office of the company. Reduction of share capital.
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.
Board resolutions deal with operational and management decisions, while shareholder resolutions address more significant, often strategic, matters affecting the company.
These resolutions may pertain to company policies and procedures, corporate governance or issues of social or environmental concern. Shareholder resolutions are a meaningful way for shareholders to encourage corporate responsibility and discourage company practices that are unsustainable or unethical.
To file a social responsibility shareholder resolution, the criteria generally include: There must be a waiting period before resubmitting a failed resolution. Resolutions must not deal with a company's ordinary business, as this is excluded under the 'ordinary business exemption.
