Shareholders Meeting Minutes

"I need Shareholders Meeting Minutes for our tech startup's Annual General Meeting scheduled for March 15, 2025, which will cover standard agenda items plus the appointment of two new directors and approval of our Series B funding round."

Document background
Shareholders Meeting Minutes are a crucial corporate governance document required under New Zealand law, specifically the Companies Act 1993. These minutes serve as the official record of proceedings and decisions made during shareholder meetings, whether annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings. The document must capture accurate details of attendance, quorum, discussions, and voting results on resolutions. It's particularly important as it provides legal evidence of company decisions, protects shareholder interests, and demonstrates compliance with corporate governance requirements. The minutes need to be signed by the meeting chairperson and maintained in the company's records for future reference and potential regulatory review.
