Form with which a corporation may alter the amount of outstanding shares issued by the corporation.
A written resolution is an alternative way for shareholders to vote on a resolution that requires their approval to become effective. Importantly, the company does not need to convene a general meeting. This saves considerable time and expense.
This document is for use where all shareholders agree to sign a resolution approving a share issue. If the share issue is not being approved by unanimous resolution of shareholders, use our template directors' resolutions to approve share issues.
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.
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.
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.
A resolution has two parts: the heading and the body. The heading is the administrative/organizational portion of a resolution and contains the name of the committee, the topic, and the names of the sponsoring countries, the countries that are signatories, and the committee code.
7 steps for writing a resolution Put the date and resolution number at the top. Give the resolution a title that relates to the decision. Use formal language. Continue writing out each critical statement. Wrap up the heart of the resolution in the last statement.
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.
