In many cases, shareholders withdraw a resolution if they are able to secure a commitment to an agreed course of action from the company through engagement prior to the vote.
Shareholders Resolutions Before passing an ordinary resolution, all shareholders must be given 14 days' written notice. During the meeting, shareholders must pass their votes with a simple raising of hands or through a poll, with the resolution considered to be passed when it acquires at least 50% of the total votes.
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 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.
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.
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.
