Making decisions without a meeting The directors and shareholders can pass a written resolution by post or email if, for example, it isn't practical to have everyone in the same place at the same time. Resolutions passed this way have the same effect as if they happened at a properly constituted meeting.
The body of a resolution is written as a long sentence, and starts with the name of the committee, followed by a comma. The remainder of the body of a resolution is divided into two parts: preambulatory clauses and operative clauses.
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.
Shareholders in a publicly traded company are entitled to introduce shareholder resolutions, or proposals, to the company management to be voted on in the next annual meeting.

A company is required by the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006) to obtain the approval of its members by special or ordinary resolution in order to carry out certain actions, eg to change its articles of association or to alter its status by re-registering as a public or private company.
Annual General Meeting (AGM) During these meetings, corporate board members present annual financial reports and accounts to be ratified by shareholders. Shareholders can also question board decisions and vote on the appointment, election, or removal of company directors.
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.
