Shareholders holding at least $2,000 worth of stock in a publicly-traded company for at least three years prior to the filing deadline can introduce a resolution to company management to be voted on at the next annual meeting.
When a shareholders' resolution is passed, the company is bound by it. All special resolutions and some ordinary resolutions must be filed at Companies House.
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.
A resolution may be proposed as a written one by the directors or by the members. The company must send the proposed resolution to every eligible member either in hard copy form, in electronic form or by means of a website. The requirements as to notice and so on, are the same as for a physical meeting.
Take a roll call of all shareholders present in the meeting. Record the names and signatures of the shareholders present in the meeting. Ask for proxies for any shareholders who are not present. Record the names of proxy holders, the name of the shareholder who appointed them, and their signatures.
A written resolution can be requested in a similar manner to a general meeting, either if: proposed by the board of directors, or. requested by shareholders holding at least 5% of the total voting rights of the company (this percentage may be lower as specified in the articles of association)
Send to the Corporate Secretary: Send to the person listed in the company's proxy materials (usually the Corp. Sec.): a cover letter; resolution; verification of stock ownership (custodian's letter) by before or by the COB on company's filing deadline.
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.
