Hello guys.
In the textbook, it indicates the rules for directors calling an AGM to be “at least 21 days notice should be given”. But it also says that “a general meeting at which a special resolution is proposed requires 14 days’ notice”.
Does it mean that an AGM at which a special resolution is proposed still requires 21 days’ notice or say that no matter what holding an AGM must have 21 days’ notice? And then, in which case does the 14 days’ notice rule apply?
I believe it is 14 days notice now for both notice of meetings and for notice of special resolutions to members.
Hi again Melody. The notice period for an Annual General Meeting is 21 days whether or not there is a special resolution to be proposed.
The notice period for an ‘other general meeting’ ie not the AGM is 14 days and that is also the notice period requirement for a special resolution.
Does that clear it up?
Oh, thanks Mike!
As always, you’re very welcome
