Course Overview

Resolutions passed at shareholders’ meetings differ significantly from decisions made at the meetings of directors and the role of the secretary is often misunderstood or unclear. There is a common misperception of practitioners in the sector regarding which documents must be prepared and the correct terminology to use, how such documents are to be signed and by whom. These misunderstandings can result in the mechanical preparation of these documents, frequent errors and unnecessary friction.

What is the difference between an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) and an annual general meeting (AGM)?When are ordinary, extraordinary or special resolutions adopted? When is it necessary to convene a board meeting, and what types of decisions are made during such meetings? What do the terms “quorum”, “majority” and “minutes” mean in this context? When and why must the true copy of shareholder(s)’ resolutions be filed with the Registrar of Companies? These are just some of the questions that will be addressed during this seminar.

This seminar is essential to align the participants with current legislation under the Companies Law, Cap. 113, foundational corporate knowledge and the documentation requirements for meetings held by a private company. As a result, the quality of corporate governance and administrative services will be enhanced and participants will move away from performing tasks in a purely mechanical manner.
