Annual General Meeting

An annual general meeting is yearly meeting where the directors or shareholders of a company meet and discuss the important matters or reports of the company. It is compulsory for each company to hold at least one general meeting, which is also called the Annual General Meeting (AGM) each year as per the Companies Ordinance.

Though this is not one of the company renewal filings, it is an obligation that has to be fulfilled on a yearly basis. The general company matters would be discussed at the AGM, such as the appointment of the company secretary, certified public accountant, and other important matters discussed.

The first AGM must be held at least 18 months after incorporation, and is also known as the minutes of the first meeting. During this first meeting, the company would state the company directors, shareholders, company secretary and share capital. Other important matters may also be discussed and noted within the AGMs.The AGM of the company can be located anywhere, and does not have to take place in Hong Kong.
