Corporate Actions Requiring Shareholder Approval in the Anglo-US Model The two routine corporate actions requiring shareholder approval under the Anglo-US model are elections of directors and appointment of auditors. Non-routine corporate actions which also require shareholder approval include: the establishment or amendment of stock option plans (because these plans affect executive and board compensation); mergers and takeovers; restructurings; and amendment of the articles of incorporation. There is one important distinction between the US and the UK: in the US, shareholders do not have the right to vote on the dividend proposed by the board of directors. In the UK, shareholders do vote on the dividend proposal. The Anglo-US model also permits shareholders to submit proposals to be included on the agenda of the AGM. The proposals - known as shareholder proposals - must relate to a corporation’s business activity. Shareholders owning at least ten percent of a corporation’s total share capital may also convene an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of shareholders. In the US, the SEC has issued a wide range of regulations concerning the format, substance, timing and publication of shareholder proposals. The SEC also regulates communication among shareholders.
