What is the latest date for a public company, incorporated on 1 May 2010, could hold it’s second annual general meeting?
1- 30 april 2012
2- 31 oct 2011
3- 31 dec 2012
4- 31 jan 2013
why is the answer c?
shouldn’t it be within 12 months post incorporation ie 30 april?
The correct answer is indeed 31 December 2012. This is based on the following rules:
The 1st AGM must be held within 6 months of the accounting ref date i.e. 31st October 2011.
The 2nd AGM must be held no later than 15 months after the first AGM i.e. 31 January 2013.
A PLC must hold an AGM every calendar year. If the second AGM is held in January 2013 you miss 2012 which is not permitted. Therefore the PLC would need to hold it no later than December 2012 to ensure the 2nd AGM is held in every calendar year.
I hope that clarifies?
Kind regards,
Vijay
