Can meetings be held at less than 21 days notice?
Yes. Traded companies may hold meetings at 14 days notice provided the following 3 conditions are met: • the meeting must not be an annual general meeting; • the company offers the facility for members to vote by electronic means (see below) accessible to all members who hold shares that carry rights to vote at general meetings; and • that a special resolution reducing the period of notice to not less than 14 days has been passed at the immediately preceding annual general meeting, or at a general meeting held since that annual general meeting, or, in the case of new companies which have not yet held an AGM, at a general meeting.
