Unless additional decisions are specified in the articles of association, the main decisions which usually require shareholder approval are:
- Appointment of auditors (if there are any).
- Appointment or re-appointment of directors.
- Removal of a director or the auditor.
- Adoption of the annual accounts and the reports of the directors and auditors.
- Changes to the company's memorandum or articles of association.
- Voluntary winding up of the company (ie while it is solvent).
- Approval of property transactions involving the directors.
- Increasing the authorised share capital and giving the directors authority to issue the shares.
