Annual General Meeting – A stock corporation consists of several bodies. The management board deals with the day-to-day business and other matters of the company and represents the stock corporation externally. The supervisory board is a legally prescribed self-controlling body that appoints and monitors the individual members of the management board and, in case of doubt, also removes them. Furthermore, it is responsible for the written reporting of the annual financial statements as well as for annual reports. The general meeting acts as the decision-making body of the stock corporation. Here you can find all legal forms and here you can go back to the overview AG.
The Annual General Meeting acts as the decision-making body of a stock corporation. It represents the legislative body of the company and is intended to relieve the members of the supervisory board and the management board of their duties. The general meeting consists of the shareholders of an AG and is usually convened once a year.

Another important task of the general meeting: It passes resolutions on essential issues – for example, with regard to capital increases or reductions, possible mergers or dissolutions, sales, takeovers or acquisitions…. insofar as these result in an amendment to the Articles of Association.

The members of the general meeting are automatically provided with participation in the formation process of the stock corporation.

Each shareholder receives votes in proportion to his profit shares. The shareholder is granted one vote per share.
