‍Shareholder resolutions allow shareholders to propose changes and express their view to management and the board of directors. This enables the shareholders, as owners of the company, to influence its policies and direction.

Resolutions are generally passed at the shareholders' meeting. It is not necessary to hold the meeting if all shareholders agree in text form with the provision to be made or with the written submission of votes, Section 48 II GmbHG and the resolution does not have to be passed within the shareholders' meeting by law.

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.

Examples: Shareholder resolutions can cover a broad spectrum of topics, such as appointing independent auditors, approving major transactions, amending the company's articles of association, or advocating for environmental and social responsibility initiatives.

These resolutions may pertain to company policies and procedures, corporate governance or issues of social or environmental concern. Shareholder resolutions are a meaningful way for shareholders to encourage corporate responsibility and discourage company practices that are unsustainable or unethical.

A written resolution is an alternative way for shareholders to vote on a resolution that requires their approval to become effective. Importantly, the company does not need to convene a general meeting. This saves considerable time and expense.

Resolutions in private limited companies can be passed at a general meeting either by a poll or show of hands. Alternatively, they can be passed by a written resolution, in which the shareholder indicates their agreement in the manner the company requests.

This document is for use where all shareholders agree to sign a resolution approving a share issue. If the share issue is not being approved by unanimous resolution of shareholders, use our template directors' resolutions to approve share issues.

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.
