Our company provides services for organizing the annual General Meeting of Shareholders
and drawing up the minutes of the meeting / decision of the sole participant.
Federal Laws require LLC and JSC to hold annual general meetings of shareholders to
approve their annual result, which includes:
- issues on the election of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Audit Commission of
the Company;
- other issues referred to the competence of the general meeting of shareholders.
Decisions made by the general meeting are formalized by the Minutes of the meeting or
decisions of the sole participant. Companies must keep these minutes in their archives at all
times and make them available to participants/shareholders and others as required by law.
According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, a limited liability company (LLC) or joint-stock company (JSC) is obliged to hold an annual general meeting of shareholders annually.
Resolutions adopted by general meetings are documented as follows:
- By drawing up minutes;
- By sole shareholder resolution.
The adoption of resolutions by general meetings of shareholders and the composition of the
shareholders in attendance for adoption of resolutions for LLC are confirmed as follows:
- By notarization unless another way (signing of minutes by all or some shareholders; using
technical means that make it possible to reliably establish the adoption of resolution; any
other way that is not contrary to the law) is provided by the company charter; or
- By a notarized resolution of the general meeting of shareholders adopted by the company’s
shareholders unanimously, or by notarization of sole shareholder resolution.
General meeting resolutions are documented by drawing up minutes (sole shareholder
decision). Companies must keep these documents in their archive
