Description

Section 7.06 of the Revised Model Business Corporation Act states: "A shareholder may waive any notice required by this Act, the articles of incorporation, or bylaws before or after the date and time stated in the notice. The waiver must be in writing, be signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice, and be delivered to the corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records."

The New Hampshire Certificate of Secretary that all Stockholders have Waived Notice of Meeting is a legally binding document that outlines the stockholders' voluntary consent to proceed with a meeting without prior notice. This certificate serves as proof that all stockholders involved in the meeting have waived their right to receive official notice and are willing to participate in the scheduled gathering. In New Hampshire, there are primarily two types of Certificates of Secretary for stockholders waiving notice of meetings: the Unanimous Consent Certificate and the Majority Consent Certificate. 1. Unanimous Consent Certificate: This document is utilized when all stockholders of a corporation unanimously agree to waive notice of a specific meeting. It demonstrates full and unanimous consent from all stockholders involved, ensuring transparency and compliance with state regulations. The Unanimous Consent Certificate clearly states the date, time, and purpose of the meeting, as well as the stockholders' signatures or accepted electronic signatures. 2. Majority Consent Certificate: This certificate is employed when a majority of stockholders decide to waive notice of a particular meeting. The Majority Consent Certificate signifies that a significant percentage of stockholders, representing more than 50% of the total shares of the corporation, have agreed to proceed with the meeting without prior notice. This document also includes the essential information, such as the meeting's date, time, purpose, and the signatures of the consenting stockholders. Both types of certificates play a crucial role in facilitating efficient corporate governance and decision-making processes. They provide a means for stockholders to streamline meetings, especially when urgent matters arise. These certificates are often utilized when stockholders are readily available, have already received the necessary information, or find it essential to convene promptly to address time-sensitive issues. It should be noted that while these certificates waive notice requirements, they do not absolve corporations from fulfilling other legal obligations, such as providing relevant meeting materials or disclosing information as required by law.
