A shareholder proposal is a resolution that is put forward by a single shareholder, or group of shareholders, to a company board, asking for a matter to be voted upon at the company's Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Shareholders holding at least $2,000 worth of stock in a publicly-traded company for at least three years prior to the filing deadline can introduce a resolution to company management to be voted on at the next annual meeting.
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.
They allow investors to use their formal rights as owners to publicly and transparently escalate important matters, and directly interact with a company's board. The number of shareholder proposals focused on ESG issues has grown dramatically and is part of a wider trend of growing investor stewardship.
What should shareholder resolutions include? Your corporation's name. Date, time and location of meeting. Statement that all shareholders agree to the resolution. Confirmation of the necessary quorum for business to be conducted. Names of shareholders present or voting by proxy. Number of shares for each voting shareholder.
A Directors' Resolution to Issue Shares is a resolution to be passed by the directors of a company to approve the allotment and issue of new shares.
You do not always need to have a meeting to pass a resolution. If enough shareholders or directors have told you they agree, you can usually confirm the resolution in writing. You must write to all shareholders letting them know about the outcome of a resolution.
There are two main types of resolutions in a limited company: ordinary and special. Shareholders use both in situations where the directors have no authority to make a decision. An ordinary resolution can be described as 'ordinary' or routine decisions made by the shareholders.
