Common questions

FAQs.

What is the quorum for an AGM under Section 103?
For a private company, 2 members personally present. For a public company: 5 members personally present if the total membership is up to 1,000; 15 if it exceeds 1,000 but is up to 5,000; and 30 if it exceeds 5,000 — unless the articles prescribe a higher number. Proxies do not count towards quorum. If quorum is absent within half an hour, the meeting stands adjourned to the same day in the next week (or as the Board determines).
Who signs AGM minutes and within how many days?
The minutes must be entered in the minutes book within 30 days of the conclusion of the meeting and signed and dated within that period by the Chairman of the same meeting — or, if that Chairman dies or is unable to sign, by a director duly authorised by the Board (Section 118 and SS-2). This differs from board minutes, which the Chairman of the next meeting may also sign.
How are voting results recorded in AGM minutes?
Record, for each item, the text of the resolution, whether it was ordinary or special, the mode of voting, and the result. On a show of hands, record that the resolution was carried unanimously or by the requisite majority — vote counts are not recorded. On a poll (Section 109) or e-voting (Section 108), record the scrutiniser's appointment and the number of votes cast for and against as per the scrutiniser's report. SS-2 also requires any auditor qualifications read out at the meeting to be noted.
Do proxies count towards the quorum of a general meeting?
No. Section 103 speaks of "members personally present", so proxies are excluded from quorum, though they attend and vote (on a poll — a proxy cannot vote on a show of hands unless the articles provide otherwise). The minutes should therefore state the members present in person and the proxies separately, with the shareholding the proxies represent.
How long must AGM minutes and related papers be preserved?
The minutes books of general meetings must be preserved permanently, kept at the registered office in the custody of the company secretary or a director authorised by the Board. Office copies of the notices, agenda and connected papers are preserved for as long as they remain current or for 8 financial years, whichever is later (SS-2 read with the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014).
