FAQ

In California, executive sessions are closed-door talks that only board members, and certain other people can attend. The Davis-Stirling Act clearly says what can be discussed in private meetings. Most states require that board meetings be open to group members, so they can come and listen to the talks.

AGMs are mandatory for both public and private companies. All shareholders are legally obligated to receive an invitation to these meetings. The board of directors should also be represented. An auditor may also be present if the organization is subject to an audit requirement.

California law requires ALL California corporations, even those owned by a single shareholder, to hold an annual meeting of the shareholder(s) for the purpose of electing the board of directors.

A private company is not required to hold an AGM, but it may choose to do so or it may have provisions in its articles of association that require it to do so. Detailed requirements as regards the convening and holding of an AGM are set out in the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006).

Federal and state-level laws, as well as a company's incorporation documents, require public and private corporations—including C-corps—to have boards of directors (BoDs). Companies that are formed as LLCs (limited liability companies) do not have the same requirements, although some still choose to assemble a board.

Scheduling AGMs While not mandatory for private companies, many opt to hold their AGM, as allowed by their Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI). The first AGM must be held within 18 months of the company's incorporation, with subsequent AGMs held annually, ensuring no more than 15 months elapse between meetings.

Federal and state-level laws, as well as a company's incorporation documents, require public and private corporations in the U.S. to have boards of directors (BoDs).

Although a private company is not legally required to hold an AGM, its corporate governance documents will likely require AGMs to be held at least annually, if not more frequently.

Does a Private Company need to hold AGMs? There is no statutory obligation for private companies to hold an AGM. An AGM will only need to be held if the company's articles of association require it (there is no requirement in the model articles either).
