If the special resolution is to be passed at a general meeting of the shareholders, the document “Minutes - Share Capital Reduction” should be substituted for this Written Resolution – Share Capital Reduction .
Companies must keep copies of all special resolutions passed at the registered office for inspection by members.
This document is in open format. The document contains fields which must be completed. It also contains wording options in square brackets which must be adjusted to suit your purposes.
Please note that the wording of the special resolution must be consistent with paragraphs 4 and 5(b) of the “Board Resolutions - Share Capital Reduction”.
The Circulation Date will usually be the date of the board meeting approving the circulation of the written resolution but it can be a later date. The date when the written resolution lapses must be 28 days after the Circulation Date.
