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.
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.
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.
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 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 can either be passed during a formal meeting of the shareholders or in writing (without holding an actual meeting). Regardless of the method, the resolutions must be passed in ance with certain statutory, and possibly contractual, requirements.
Resolutions can be passed by directors without holding a directors' meeting. These are called circulating resolutions. Check the rule book to see how this can be done. All directors entitled to vote on the resolution must sign a statement that says they are in favour of the resolution set out in the document.
A Shareholders' Consent to Action Without Meeting, or a consent resolution, is a written statement that describes and validates a course of action taken by the shareholders of a particular corporation without a meeting having to take place between directors and/or shareholders.
