Company Minutes are crucial corporate governance documents required under German law to record and formalize decisions made during company meetings. These minutes must be prepared for various types of corporate meetings, including shareholder meetings (Gesellschafterversammlung), board meetings (Vorstandssitzung), and supervisory board meetings (Aufsichtsratssitzung). The document serves as an official record and legal evidence of corporate decision-making, containing details about attendees, discussions, and resolutions passed. Under German corporate law, Company Minutes must include specific information and follow certain formalities, particularly as required by the Handelsgesetzbuch (HGB) and company-specific legislation. These documents play a vital role in corporate governance, serving as reference points for future actions and potentially being required for regulatory compliance or legal proceedings.
