SHARE WARRANT IS EQUIVALENT TO SHARE CERTIFICATE

A company’s Articles of Association can set any length of notice required for a General Meeting of its shareholders, but by Section 307 of the Companies Act 2006, notice must be at least 21 days for an AGM (for public companies only – private companies are not required to hold AGMs unless specified in the Articles of Association), or 14 days for other General Meetings - unless shareholders agree to a shorter notice period.

If a General Meeting is to be convened and held at shorter notice than the statutory period (or the period set out in the Articles) a consent form must be signed by shareholders holding at least 90% of the nominal value of shares giving a right to vote at such General Meeting (or a higher percentage specified in the company’s Articles, but not exceeding 95%) in the case of private companies. For public companies, the required percentage is 95% but short notice for AGMs can only be agreed unanimously.
 

Dear Ruchika Madam

What does it mean that Share warrant is equivalent to Share Certificate in relation to establishing right of Membership?

To become member you need to hold Shares of a company against which company issues share certificate so share warrant is equivalent to share certificate it means if you are holding share warrant that indicates your membership in the company.
