Shareholders’ Special Resolution for Change of Name

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE ECONOMIC CRIME & CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT 2023 IS BEING IMPLEMENTED IN PHASES AND MAY CHANGE THIS TEMPLATE. 

Use this special resolution if the company is changing its name. The resolution can be passed at a general meeting or by written resolution.

What you must file after passing the resolution

A printed copy of the special resolution must be sent to the Registrar of Companies within 15 days of it being passed, together with Form NM01 and the £10 filing fee.

Passing the resolution at a general meeting

Special resolutions require the votes of 75% of members present in person or by proxy, who are entitled to vote and do vote at the meeting.

The meeting at which the resolution is proposed must have had at least 14 days notice, unless a shorter period was agreed by a majority in number of members holding at least 90% of the shares (95% in the case of public companies).
