An Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) is an urgent meeting called to address pressing company issues or emergencies. These matters require the immediate attention of the board, shareholders and senior company executives. An EGM is also referred to as a special general meeting or an emergency general meeting.
If a problem cannot wait until the next annual meeting, however, then a special shareholder meeting may be necessary. This occurs relatively often, for example, when a business seeks shareholder support for a deal.
(1) The Board may, whenever it deems fit, call an extraordinary general meeting of the company . Provided that in case of a Specified IFSC public company, the Board may subject to the consent of all the shareholders, convene its extraordinary general meeting at any place within or outside India.
The general meeting called within six months of the end of the previous fiscal year is known as the “annual” general meeting (or “AGM”). If a general meeting is held outside that time frame, it is “extraordinary” (“EGM”) and meant to address urgent or pressing matters that couldn't be settled at the AGM.
