FAQ
There is no legal requirement for a limited company director to also be a shareholder. So as a general rule, a person can be made a director, a shareholder, or both. The position of directors and shareholders differs in the remit of their role, their rights, and their responsibilities.
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.
There are two main types of resolutions in a limited company: ordinary and special. Shareholders use both in situations where the directors have no authority to make a decision. An ordinary resolution can be described as 'ordinary' or routine decisions made by the shareholders.
An Ordinary resolution typically requires more than 50% approval from shareholders, while a Special resolution usually necessitates a 75% approval rate.
All eligible directors must either sign copies of the written resolution, or otherwise agree to it in writing. A sole director will usually make decisions by written resolution.
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.
An ordinary resolution or a special resolution may also be passed if a written resolution is signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of shareholders.
In most jurisdictions, including the United States, corporate resolutions refer to key decisions made by the board of directors concerning the most important corporate actions. Other decisions which require voting by shareholders are referred to as shareholder resolutions or annual resolutions.
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.
