The Legal Risk Score of a Shareholders' Request to Call General Meeting Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- There is a risk associated with ensuring that the requesting shareholders collectively meet the minimum voting threshold of 5% required to call a general meeting, which if not met, could invalidate the request.
- The document does not specify a deadline or timeline for when the meeting should be held, potentially leading to delays or uncertainty in addressing the matters to be considered.
- Absence of detailed procedural guidelines for the meeting could lead to confusion or inefficiencies during the meeting process.
Overall, given that users are presumed to have some knowledge about the document's use, the risks are manageable but do require careful attention to detail and proper coordination among shareholders.
