Board directors and shareholders are the only members of the company that can make company resolutions. When the board of directors make a formal decision, it is referred to as a board resolution, whereas when the company shareholders make a formal decision, it is referred to as a shareholder resolution.
Three forms of resolutions are available: ordinary resolution, special resolution and unanimous resolution. There is no concept of special resolution in board meetings and very few unanimous resolutions are also required. However, all three are covered in the case of general meetings.
There are basically two types of shareholders: the common shareholders and the preferred shareholders. Common shareholders are those that own a company's common stock. They are the more prevalent type of stockholders and they have the right to vote on matters concerning the company.
Ordinary and special resolutions are two types of resolutions that a company can pass to make important decisions. The main difference between the two is the level of support required for them to pass.
Two options that shareholders have when they have suffered harm due to a director breach are direct suits and derivative suits.
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.
