Special Resolution

What is Special Resolution?

A shareholder decision that requires a higher approval threshold (usually 75%) for significant changes.

Think of it like this…

A super‑majority vote for big moves like changing the MOI or issuing new shares.

Why does it matter?

  • Protects shareholders on critical decisions
  • Required by the Companies Act and many MOIs
  • Provides confidence to investors and lenders

Best practice

State the exact wording, threshold, and meeting details in the minutes and resolutions.
