Abstract

This chapter examines the role and importance of general meetings, the significant body of procedural rules by which general meetings are run, and the extent to which a company's members actually engage with general meetings. Members make decisions in one of two ways: through a resolution or by unanimous assent. A resolution is simply a vote that requires a specified majority vote in its favour in order to be passed. The resolutions of public companies must be passed at meetings, whereas resolutions of private companies can be passed at meetings or via a written resolution. Two forms of general meeting existed: the annual general meeting and extraordinary general meetings. In some cases, however, companies are required to hold a class meeting in which only one class of member is entitled to attend. To encourage institutional investors to engage more, the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has published the UK Stewardship Code.

14. 会议和投资者参与
本章考察了股东大会的作用和重要性,股东大会运行的重要程序规则,以及公司成员实际参与股东大会的程度。成员通过两种方式之一做出决定:通过决议或一致同意。决议只是一种投票,需要特定的多数赞成票才能通过。上市公司的决议必须在会议上通过,而私营公司的决议可以在会议上通过或通过书面决议。股东大会有两种形式:年度股东大会和特别股东大会。然而,在某些情况下,公司被要求召开班级会议,只有一个班级的成员有资格参加。为了鼓励机构投资者更多地参与其中,财务报告委员会(FRC)发布了《英国管理守则》。
