A Shareholders' Resolution in Lieu of an Annual General Meeting (AGM) is a written resolution for companies to approve matters that would otherwise be approved at an annual general meeting (AGM).
A resolution in lieu of a meeting is a written resolution (signed by all shareholders who are entitled to vote at the meeting) that deals with all matters that need to be addressed at a shareholders' meeting.
Many body corporate decisions have to be made at a general meeting. A decision is made at a general meeting if a motion is included on the agenda, and owners vote to pass the motion. This is called a resolution.
A written resolution can be either ordinary or special and is passed in writing rather than being passed at a general meeting whereby members cast votes in person or by proxy. A written company resolution may be proposed by a director or any shareholder who owns at least 5% of the voting rights in the company.
Companies may pass written resolutions for matters that would have been tabled at an AGM and may include the resolutions during Annual Return filings. The written resolutions may be circulated via hardcopies or other legible form (such as e-mails) as agreed upon by the company and the members.
A written consent of the board of directors is a formal document that allows the company, such as the board of directors or members of an LLC, to take action without needing a physical meeting. The document captures the concurrence of all, or a predetermined majority, of board members on a particular resolution.
A resolution of members (or of a class of members of a private company) must be passed either by way of a written resolution or at a meeting of members Note 1. A written resolution cannot remove a director before the expiry of his/her period of office or to remove an auditor whilst in office Note 2.
Present the resolution: Propose the resolution to board members, explaining necessary information or details. Make time for discussion and questions. Move to adopt: A board member should move to adopt the resolution. Another board member should second the motion.
For Ordinary resolution, this will normally be a list of actions which the AGM would like the IMA to undertake. These actions are best presented in brief bullet point form, avoiding repetition. Three to five bullet points at most are recommended, with a suggested word count of 100-300 words.
The right to requisition a resolution allows shareholders to require the board to include a resolution (often referred to as shareholder resolutions) to be put to a shareholder vote at either an Annual General Meeting (AGM) or a General Meeting (GM).
