This Practice Note summarises the law, guidelines and market practice relating to the holding of an annual general meeting (AGM). It is suitable for use by both practitioners and company secretaries in relation to private companies limited by shares and unlisted public companies limited by shares. For details on the notice requirements for an AGM of a private company or unlisted public company, see Practice Note: AGMs—notice requirements for private and unlisted public companies.

A public company must call an AGM each year within the period of six months beginning with the day following its accounting reference date. A private company is not required to hold an AGM, but it may choose to do so or it may have provisions in its articles of association that require it to do so. Detailed requirements as regards the convening and holding of an AGM are set out in the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006). For further details, see: Requirement to call an annual general meeting.
