Notice of General Meeting to Change Company Name

This notice of general meeting should be used where the directors have decided to change the company’s registered name by special resolution and intend to pass the resolution at a general meeting (rather than by the written resolution procedure).

What this notice is for

The directors will need to convene a general meeting and this notice can be used for that purpose.

To validly convene the meeting, a notice of meeting must be issued to all shareholders who are entitled to receive notice at least 14 clear days in advance (assuming the company’s articles do not provide for longer), unless all members agree a shorter notice period.

What the notice must include

• The date, time and place of the meeting.
• A clear statement that the meeting is a general meeting at which a special resolution to change the company’s name will be considered.
• The special resolution set out in full.

Making sure the notice is valid

The notice will be invalid unless it contains enough detail to allow a reasonable shareholder to judge whether they need to attend the meeting.

Board approval before issue

The notice should be approved by the board before it is sent to shareholders.
