Notice to Shareholders Most states require notice of any shareholder meeting be mailed to all shareholders at least 10 days prior to the meeting. The notice should contain the date, time and location of the meeting as well as an agenda or explanation of the topics to be discussed.
A shareholders' meeting is a meeting held by the shareholders of a company to discuss the arrangements of the company or to vote in the election of board members.
In order for shareholder action taken at a meeting to be valid, four elements are required: (1) the meeting must be called; (2) the corporation must give proper notice; (3) a quorum of shares must be present at the meeting; and (4) the action must be approved by a sufficient vote.
Shareholder meetings are a regulatory requirement which means most public and private companies must hold them. Notification of the meeting's date and time is often accompanied by the meeting's agenda.
Proper notification for a shareholder meeting is dependent on the bylaws of the company, but typically requires written notification by a shareholder holding a certain threshold of shares in the company. The letter will typically state that a meeting is requested and the reason for the meeting.

Scheduled meetings Your business should hold at least one annual shareholders' meeting. You can have more than one per year, but one per year is often the required minimum. An annual board of directors meeting is often also held in conjunction with the shareholders' meeting as well.
Also, while a company's board can only call an AGM, an EGM can also be called by the board on the requisition of shareholders, requisitionist, or tribunal.
Investors are also able to call special shareholder meetings, subject to a specific set of rules. There are some strategic advantages involved in scheduling a special shareholder meeting: An investor can accelerate change by restructuring or making other changes, without having to wait for the annual meeting to do so.
