What this template does

A notice of shareholders' meeting is used to formally call shareholders to an annual general meeting or an extraordinary general meeting. The document brings together the company's details, the time and place of the meeting, how registration should be made, and which agenda items will be dealt with.

A clear and correctly drafted notice reduces the risk of formal defects and makes it easier for shareholders to understand when the meeting will be held, which documents are available, and which matters are to be decided.

When do you need this document?

You need this if…

  • The company is holding an annual general meeting or an extraordinary general meeting
  • Shareholders need correct information about time, place and registration
  • You want to include the agenda and available documents in the same document
  • The meeting is held physically, digitally, or with special practical instructions
  • You want a structured template that follows Swedish company-law practice

You probably don't need this if…

  • The company already uses an established notice template that must be followed
  • The matter does not concern a formal shareholders' meeting
  • You only need internal meeting notes or a simple information notice

What the notice includes

The agreement covers the following areas.

Company details

  • The company's name and registration number
  • Opening wording stating that shareholders are called to a shareholders' meeting

Time, place, and participation

  • Date and time of the meeting
  • Address for a physical meeting or platform for a digital meeting
  • Option to describe how shareholders should participate

Registration and documents

  • Final date and time for registration
  • Contact details for registration by email or post
  • Information about where the annual report and other documents are available

Agenda and other information

  • A standardised agenda for a shareholders' meeting
  • Optional information on proxies and postal voting
  • Practical instructions for shareholders ahead of the meeting

Important considerations

  1. Check that the notice is sent within the correct time frame under the law and the articles of association.
  2. Ensure that the agenda corresponds to the matters that will actually be dealt with at the meeting.
  3. If the company has an auditor or special formal requirements, this should be reflected correctly in the notice.
  4. State clearly how registration should be made and which information the shareholder must provide.
  5. For a digital meeting, the platform and practical instructions should be clear in order to avoid uncertainty.

Legal validity

A notice of shareholders' meeting must comply with the formal requirements laid down in the Swedish Companies Act and the company's articles of association. This applies in particular to rules on when the notice must be sent, what content it must contain, and how shareholders are informed.

This template is a practical aid for structuring the information, but it should always be adapted to the company's circumstances and any special requirements in the articles of association or other applicable regulation.

Customise the meeting notice and finalise it directly.

Common scenarios

Annual general meeting in a smaller private company

The board needs to call shareholders to the ordinary annual general meeting and wants to collect the time, place, agenda, and documents in one clear notice.

Extraordinary meeting for a specific decision

The company needs to convene an extraordinary general meeting quickly in order to decide a single issue and wants to provide clear registration instructions.

Digital shareholders' meeting

The meeting is held on a digital platform, and the notice needs to explain how shareholders join and participate.

Including proxy information

The company wants the notice itself to inform shareholders that they may be represented by a proxy under a written authorisation.

Frequently asked questions

What must a notice of shareholders' meeting contain?

The notice should contain the company's details, the date and time of the meeting, the location or digital platform, registration instructions, the agenda, and information about where relevant documents are available.

When must the notice be sent?

That depends on the type of company and meeting involved, as well as what the articles of association provide. Private limited companies often have specific deadlines before the meeting that must be followed.

Can the same template be used for a digital meeting?

Yes, provided that you clearly state that the meeting will be held digitally and describe which platform is used and how participation works.

Should information about proxies be included?

It is often practical to include such information, especially where shareholders may be represented by a proxy. It makes it clearer which documents need to be brought to the meeting.
