A meeting of all the shareholders or members of the company is called a Shareholders' Meeting. A meeting of all the Directors of the company is called a Board Meeting. Frequency of meeting depends on the type of meeting.
Board directors and shareholders are the only members of the company that can make company resolutions. When the board of directors make a formal decision, it is referred to as a board resolution, whereas when the company shareholders make a formal decision, it is referred to as a shareholder resolution.
There are two main types of shareholders' resolution: 'ordinary' and 'special'. An ordinary resolution is passed by a simple majority of members, while a special resolution requires not less than 75% of the total voting rights of eligible members.
A shareholders' resolution can either be passed during a formal meeting of the shareholders or in writing (without holding an actual meeting). Regardless of the method, the resolutions must be passed in ance with certain statutory, and possibly contractual, requirements.
The agreement of the members of a company is required to make certain changes to a company, such as amending its constitution, name or share capital, or for the company to carry out certain actions, such as entering into a substantial property transaction with a director or making a political donation.
Three forms of resolutions are available: ordinary resolution, special resolution and unanimous resolution. There is no concept of special resolution in board meetings and very few unanimous resolutions are also required. However, all three are covered in the case of general meetings.
