FAQ
A shareholder proposal is a resolution that is put forward by a single shareholder, or group of shareholders, to a company board, asking for a matter to be voted upon at the company's Annual General Meeting (AGM). It is an important stewardship tool that focuses efforts on a concrete call to action.
Pre-emption rights: If a shareholder has a right of pre-emption, any other shareholder wanting to transfer shares must first offer the shares to them (or to other specified persons). Pre-emption rights are common in private companies as, in effect, they prevent shareholders from selling their shares to outsiders.
Certain matters require approval from shareholders by way of special resolution such as: (i) change in objects of the company; (ii) amendment of the articles of association of the company; (iii) reduction or buy-back of share capital; (iv) issuance of preference shares; (v) loans or investments by the company; (vi) ...
The transfer must then be approved by the board of directors either at a meeting or by way of a board resolution. For some companies, the existing shareholders may also need to pass a special resolution to waive their right to pre-emption on the transfer of shares.
A person who gives his signature, name and address as approval for transfer must see the transferor and the transferee sign the share/debentures transfer deed in person. The relevant share/debenture certificate or allotment letter with the transfer deed must be attached and sent to the company.
Number of Votes Required An ordinary resolution is a decision by shareholders holding a simple majority (more than 50%) of the shares. In comparison, a special resolution requires at least 75% of votes in favour to pass. Some resolutions may require special resolutions rather than ordinary resolutions.
In the case of some companies, existing shareholders may need to pass a special resolution in order to waive their right to pre-emption on the transfer of shares. Once the transfer of shares is complete, the director(s) have to provide a copy of the Stock Transfer Form to both the transferor and transferee.
Key Takeaways. Ordinary resolutions are used for routine business decisions like paying dividends and require more than 50% of votes in favour. Special resolutions are used for more complex business matters like changing articles of association and require at least 75% of votes in favour.
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.
A corporate resolution is a written document created by the board of directors of a company detailing a binding corporate action. A corporate resolution is a legal document that provides the rules and framework for how the board can act under various circumstances.
