FAQ
Is a shareholder resolution binding? Most shareholder resolutions are non-binding, or "precatory," to use the legal word of art. It means that the voting on these resolutions is less like a (binding) referendum or plebiscite and more like a poll.
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.
Shareholder resolutions allow shareholders to propose changes and express their view to management and the board of directors. This enables the shareholders, as owners of the company, to influence its policies and direction.
They allow investors to use their formal rights as owners to publicly and transparently escalate important matters, and directly interact with a company's board. The number of shareholder proposals focused on ESG issues has grown dramatically and is part of a wider trend of growing investor stewardship.
Typically, decisions that must made by ordinary resolution of the shareholders include: Paying dividends. Appointing and removing directors. Approving directors' service contracts. Approving directors' loans. Allotting new shares.
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.
If a company wishes to issue additional shares to a new shareholder, all existing shareholders within the company must pass a special board resolution to that effect.
If the required number of votes is achieved, the resolution is passed, and the decision is legally binding.
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.
You usually need to get directors or entitled shareholders to vote (known as 'passing a resolution') on whether or not to make some changes. Things that usually need a resolution include: changing your company name. removing a director.
