A Resolution By Shareholders is required whenever shareholders need to make formal decisions about company matters under English and Welsh law. These resolutions are commonly used for changes to the company's constitution, share capital alterations, major corporate transactions, or appointment/removal of directors. The document must follow specific requirements set out in the Companies Act 2006, including proper notice periods, voting thresholds, and filing requirements with Companies House. Written resolutions can be used by private companies, while public companies must pass resolutions at general meetings.
