RESOLVED FURTHER that share certificates for the allotment of shares shall be issued under the signature of the aforesaid directors of the Company, and the Common Seal of the Company be affixed in the presence of the aforesaid directors of the Company.”
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.
A board resolution is passed after gaining approval by a majority of board members with voting rights. Your organization's governing documents will determine the votes necessary to approve a resolution formally.
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.
Purpose and Role: Shareholder resolutions involve decisions made by the company's shareholders. These resolutions are generally focused on broader company issues, such as amendments to the company's constitution, approving mergers or acquisitions and appointing or removing directors.
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.
