СКАЧАТЬ The regulations may provide that a notice of a meeting of a company’s members is not required by section 249L or otherwise to include information specified in the regulations if any conditions specified in the regulations are satisfied.

      (2) Without limiting subsection (1), the regulations may specify different conditions for:

      (a) different kinds of information; and

      (b) a notice of meeting given by a company or a class of companies.

      (3) If:

      (a) regulations are made for the purposes of subsection (1); and

      (b) a notice of meeting does not include particular information in accordance with those regulations;

      the information is taken to be included in the notice of meeting.

      249M Notice of adjourned meetings (replaceable rule — see section 135)

      When a meeting is adjourned, new notice of the resumed meeting must be given if the meeting is adjourned for 1 month or more.

      249N Members’ resolutions

      (1) The following members may give a company notice of a resolution that they propose to move at a general meeting:

      (a) members with at least 5 % of the votes that may be cast on the resolution; or

      (b) at least 100 members who are entitled to vote at a general meeting.

      (1A) The regulations may prescribe a different number of members for the purposes of the application of paragraph (1)(b) to:

      (a) a particular company; or

      (b) a particular class of company.

      Without limiting this, the regulations may specify the number as a percentage of the total number of members of the company.

      (2) The notice must:

      (a) be in writing; and:

      (b) set out the wording of the proposed resolution; and

      (c) be signed by the members proposing to move the resolution.

      (3) Separate copies of a document setting out the notice may be used for signing by members if the wording of the notice is identical in each copy.

      (4) The percentage of votes that members have is to be worked out as at the midnight before the members give the notice.

      249O Company giving notice of members’ resolutions

      (1) If a company has been given notice of a resolution under section 249N, the resolution is to be considered at the next general meeting that occurs more than 2 months after the notice is given.

      (2) The company must give all its members notice of the resolution at the same time, or as soon as practicable afterwards, and in the same way, as it gives notice of a meeting.

      (3) The company is responsible for the cost of giving members notice of the resolution if the company receives the notice in time to send it out to members with the notice of meeting.

      (4) The members requesting the meeting are jointly and individually liable for the expenses reasonably incurred by the company in giving members notice of the resolution if the company does not receive the members’ notice in time to send it out with the notice of meeting. At a general meeting, the company may resolve to meet the expenses itself.

      (5) The company need not give notice of the resolution:

      (a) if it is more than 1,000 words long or defamatory; or

      (b) if the members making the request are to bear the expenses of sending the notice out — unless the members give the company a sum reasonably sufficient to meet the expenses that it will reasonably incur in giving the notice.

      (a) in writing; and

      (b) signed by the members making the request; and

      (c) given to the company.
