In summary, AGM and EGM are both meetings of the shareholders of a company, but AGM is an annual meeting that is held at a set time each year, whereas EGM is called as and when needed to discuss specific issues that require the attention of shareholders but cannot wait until the next AGM.
An AGM requires 14 clear days' notice for a non-traded company. Traded companies require 21 clear days' notice, although public companies subject to the UK Corporate Governance Code must provide 20 working days' notice.
In addition to annual general meetings (AGMs), special general meetings (SGMs) can be held. SGMs can be used as a forum to discuss issues, to make decisions and to resolve matters. Like AGMs, SGMs have specific legal requirements. A strata council can call a special general meeting.
An SGM is any general meeting (all owners are invited) of the owners corporation that is not an AGM. The purpose of an SGM is to deal with one or more specific items, that cannot be addressed by the committee, and cannot wait until the next AGM.
There is a requirement for unlisted public companies to provide 21 days notice of an AGM, whereas a listed company must give at least 28 days notice. However, a company can call a meeting on shorter notice if the company's constitution stipulates so or if all shareholders agree.
