Legal Terms - Annual General Meeting ( AGM)
An annual general meeting (AGM) is a yearly gathering of members or shareholders of an organization to discuss and make decisions regarding important matters related to the organization. An annual gathering of the shareholders of a publicly traded corporation, which is legally mandated to take place once every year. A maximum of 18 months.
A certain amount of time shall pass between meetings, and typically, a written notice of 21 days (clearly stating that the gathering is the annual general meeting) must be provided. Annual General Meetings (AGMs) focus on matters such as financial statements, reports from directors and auditors, dividend payments, the selection of directors, and the appointment and compensation of auditors.
Other matters are regarded as exceptional affairs. According to the Companies Act of 2006, a private company is not obligated to hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM). However, section 303 of the Act allows 10% of the members of a private company to request a general meeting. If more than 12 months have passed since the last general meeting, only 5% of the members are required to make the request.
