ProxyMonitor is a unique, publicly available database that tracks shareholder proposals in real time.
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 can find out the names of the shareholders of a public company through several resources. If you wish to find out the names of large shareholders of a public company that has filed with the SEC, you can find this information by searching EDGAR, the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System.
Shareholder Resolutions can refer to anything that matters to the shareholders, such as executive compensation, corporate social responsibilities, global warming, and labor relations. All shareholder resolutions are non-binding, which means they will not progress into law.
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.
The resolution then becomes part of the company's record and is legally binding. For this reason, boards should document meeting resolutions in their meeting minutes and store them in their board portal.
The resolutions can also be found in the relevant sections of our Corporate folder to which they relate and reference should be made to that specific section for more detailed information. Each document in the Special and Ordinary Shareholders' Resolutions folder is compliant with the Companies Act 2006.
Send to the Corporate Secretary: Send to the person listed in the company's proxy materials (usually the Corp. Sec.): a cover letter; resolution; verification of stock ownership (custodian's letter) by before or by the COB on company's filing deadline.
Ordinary resolutions can be proposed by the company's board of directors or by shareholders, while special resolutions can only be proposed by the company's board of directors. Ordinary resolutions are considered less binding on the company and its shareholders as compared to special resolutions.
Shareholders submit resolutions dealing primarily with corporate governance, such as executive compensation, or corporate social responsibility issues, such as global warming, labor relations, tobacco smoking, human rights, and animal welfare.
