A Shareholders' Resolution to Issue Shares is a resolution to be passed by the shareholders of a company to approve the allotment and issue of new shares. This document may be used for the issue of ordinary shares or preference shares.
Resolutions provide an opportunity for a company's directors and/or shareholders to vote on key matters. They serve as a written record for making and approving important decisions or changes that affect the company's share capital, governance and key stakeholders.
Special resolution preparation 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.
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.
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. These resolutions may pertain to company policies and procedures, corporate governance or issues of social or environmental concern.
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.
Resolutions in private limited companies can be passed at a general meeting either by a poll or show of hands. Alternatively, they can be passed by a written resolution, in which the shareholder indicates their agreement in the manner the company requests.
What should shareholder resolutions include? Your corporation's name. Date, time and location of meeting. Statement that all shareholders agree to the resolution. Confirmation of the necessary quorum for business to be conducted. Names of shareholders present or voting by proxy. Number of shares for each voting shareholder.
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.
A shareholder proposal is a resolution that is put forward by a single shareholder, or group of shareholders, to a company board, asking for a matter to be voted upon at the company's Annual General Meeting (AGM).
