GLOSSARY

Extraordinary general meeting (EGM) definition

What does Extraordinary general meeting (EGM) mean?

Until the implementation of the CA 2006, it was practice to refer to any general meeting of the company other than the agm as an ‘extraordinary general meeting’ or EGM. The CA 2006 now only refers to a general meeting or an AGM. The label ‘extraordinary’ should only be used if required by the articles of association or by contract (such as a shareholders’ agreement).
