Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM)

A shareholders' meeting called to address urgent or specific business that cannot wait until the next Annual General Meeting.

An EGM can be called by the board, or by shareholders holding a specified minimum stake, to address matters requiring shareholder approval outside the regular AGM cycle — such as an urgent capital raise or a significant change to the company's structure.

The notice and procedural requirements for an EGM are generally similar to those for an AGM, ensuring shareholders have adequate opportunity to participate.
