This Shareholders' Ordinary Resolution - Authority to Allot New Shares gives the directors a general authority to allot shares up to a specified maximum and subject to an expiry date limited to a maximum of five years.
Generally speaking, the directors of a company may currently only allot shares (or grant rights to subscribe for shares or to convert any security into shares) if they are authorised to do so by ordinary resolution of the company's members or by the articles.
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.
Resolution (member): authority to allot a new class of shares: private and unlisted public companies. This document sets out two alternative forms of resolution authorising the directors of a private or public unlisted company to allot new shares of a separate class under section 551 of the Companies Act 2006.
Most resolutions simply need more shareholders to agree than disagree (called an 'ordinary resolution'). They may be simply done by a show of hands at a meeting. Ordinary resolutions are used for most routine changes, for example, increasing a company's share capital.
Must include the specific date and time when the board met to pass the resolution. Must authorize a specific person or persons by name and title. Must include the types of contracts and agreements the specific individual or individuals can execute on behalf of the corporation.
A special resolution must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by shareholders of the company entitled to vote on the resolution and who vote at the meeting in person or by proxy (if proxies are allowed). The sole shareholder of a company may pass a resolution by recording and signing their decision.
