When do I use this document?
- for shareholders to consent to holding a general meeting of the company on short notice
- for the general meeting of a private limited company
What are the key features?
- form of notice from shareholder(s) to the company
- alternative forms of notice depending on whether it will be signed by a single shareholder or multiple shareholders
What else do I need to know?
The notice period for a general meeting of a private limited company is 14 clear days unless the company’s Articles of Association specify a longer period. However, the meeting can be held on shorter notice than 14 days, provided that the Articles of Association do not mandate a minimum period of notice.
Shareholders holding at least 90% in nominal value of the voting shares may consent to a meeting being held on short notice. This percentage can be increased in the Articles of Association to a maximum of 95%.
Note that notice of the meeting must still be given.
