The Unanimous Resolution of Shareholders is a crucial corporate governance tool in New Zealand's legal framework, primarily governed by the Companies Act 1993. This document type is used when all shareholders with voting rights agree to a particular course of action without the need for a formal shareholders' meeting. It's commonly used for approving major transactions, changing the company constitution, appointing or removing directors, or authorizing significant corporate actions. The resolution must be signed by all shareholders or their authorized representatives and becomes part of the company's official records. This streamlined approach to decision-making is particularly valuable for smaller companies and those with a limited number of shareholders, though it can be used by companies of any size provided all shareholders agree.
