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.
A meeting of all the shareholders or members of the company is called a Shareholders' Meeting. A meeting of all the Directors of the company is called a Board Meeting. Frequency of meeting depends on the type of meeting.
Board resolutions deal with operational and management decisions, while shareholder resolutions address more significant, often strategic, matters affecting the company.
When a board resolution is passed by a simple majority, it is called an ordinary resolution. Votes cast in favor are more than the ones against. A resolution with a majority of just over 50% of the quorum is considered passed. For example, 6 'yes' votes out of 10 are considered a majority.
Ordinary resolution is a resolution passed by simple majority of votes. As provided in sub-section (1) of section 114, a resolution shall be an ordinary resolution if notice of such resolution is duly given and the votes cast in favour of the resolution exceed the votes cast against the resolution, if any.
Move to adopt: A board member should move to adopt the resolution. Another board member should second the motion. Discuss the resolution: Board members can now openly discuss any concerns or questions about the resolution and suggest amendments. Vote: Hold a vote ing to the organization's bylaws.
