Regulation 12 6 pz n. On approval of the regulation on additional requirements for the procedure for preparing, convening and holding a general meeting of shareholders

On May 28, the Order of the Federal Financial Markets Service of Russia dated 02.02.2012 N 12-6/pz-n On approval of the Regulations on additional requirements to the procedure for preparing, convening and holding general meeting shareholders (hereinafter - the Order, and the document approved by it - the Regulations). It will replace Decree of the Federal Securities Commission of Russia No. 17/ps dated May 31, 2002 On Approval of the Regulations on Additional Requirements for the Procedure for Preparing, Convening and Holding a General Meeting of Shareholders (hereinafter referred to as the old Order).

Most of the provisions of the Regulations repeat the content of the document approved by the old Order, however, it also includes new rules for preparing, convening and holding a general meeting of shareholders. The most significant amendments will affect the procedure for electing the management bodies and the audit commission of the company, the rules for determining the quorum of the general meeting and the requirements for accounting for votes on shares circulating outside Russian Federation in the form of depositary securities.

The order will come into force six months after its official publication (at the time of preparation of the material, it was not published).

The procedure for electing management bodies and the audit commission

The regulation establishes the specifics of the procedure for electing the management bodies and the audit commission (auditor) of the company. So, if the agenda of the general meeting simultaneously includes issues on the early termination of the powers of previously elected members of the board of directors and the appointment of new ones, the decision is made in two stages. First, the results of voting on the first question are summed up. If the meeting makes a positive decision on it, the results of voting on the second issue are summed up. In case of a negative decision, there is no summing up on the second question (clause 4.26 of the Regulations).

It is supposed to install additional rules accounting for votes in the election of members of the board of directors. If the board of directors is elected by cumulative voting, then the meeting participant, in accordance with the Regulations, has the right to vote for large quantity nominations than required to elect the board of directors. Opposite each candidate, he indicates the number of his votes cast for this candidate (clause 2.21 of the Regulations).

At the election of members of the audit commission (auditor), members of the board of directors, collegiate executive body or the sole executive body will not be able to vote - their votes on shares are not taken into account. However, the Regulations established an exception for the case when, simultaneously with the election of the audit commission, the issue of changing the composition of the company's management bodies is put to the vote - and resolved positively. In such a situation, the votes of persons removed from the management bodies of the company are taken into account, but the votes of members of the management bodies appointed within the framework of the current meeting are not (clause 4.27 of the Regulations).

When electing members of the audit commission, counting commission, collegial executive body, the voting ballot shall not contain more votes for than it is supposed to elect members of the company's management bodies. Otherwise, the ballot will be declared invalid. However, if in one ballot there are both votes for and against a candidate, only the line with this candidate is recognized as invalid (clause 4.22 of the Regulations).

In accordance with the Regulations, a proposal to nominate a candidate for a general director, a member of the board of directors or an audit commission must contain the consent of the candidate himself, if such a requirement is established by the company's charter. In addition, the charter may require additional information about the candidate to be included in the proposal for nomination (clause 2.8 of the Regulations).

Rules for determining the quorum of the general meeting

The regulation contains a detailed list of criteria for determining the quorum, indicating which shares are taken into account and which are not.

Thus, the quorum of the general meeting (the quorum on the issues included in the agenda of the general meeting) is determined based on the number of placed (circulating and not redeemed) voting shares of the company as of the date of compiling the list of persons entitled to participate in the general meeting (para. 4.20 of the Regulations).

In addition, shares are listed that will not be taken into account when determining the quorum. These are shares that were not paid in full when the company was founded (unless otherwise provided by the company's charter), as well as shares, the ownership of which has passed to the company.

The Regulation duplicated the norm of Art. 84.2 federal law dated December 26, 1995 N 208-FZ On joint-stock companies(hereinafter referred to as the Law on Joint Stock Companies) on the rules for determining the quorum in the event that a person has acquired more than 30 (50 or 75) percent of the total number of placed ordinary shares(paragraph 4, clause 4.20 of the Regulations). In accordance with this article, the specified person must send to the company a mandatory offer to other participants to buy out the remaining shares of the company. If such a proposal is not sent before the date of the general meeting, then the shares belonging to this person and its affiliates are not considered voting and are not taken into account when determining the quorum.

Also, when determining the quorum, the following shares are not taken into account:

— redeemed after the date of compiling the list of persons entitled to participate in the general meeting, and before the date of the general meeting;

- belonging to one person and exceeding the restrictions established by the charter of the company. In accordance with Part 3, Article 11 of the Law on Joint Stock Companies, the charter of the company may determine the maximum number of shares owned by one shareholder, their total nominal value, as well as the maximum number of votes granted to one shareholder;

- belonging to persons recognized in accordance with Article 81 of the Law on Joint Stock Companies as interested in the company's transaction (several interconnected transactions), in the event of a quorum on the issue of approving the transaction (several interconnected transactions) of the company, in which (which) there is an interest;

- owned by members of the board of directors (supervisory board) of the company or persons holding positions in the management bodies of the company, if a quorum is determined on the issue of electing the audit commission (auditor) of the company.

If the general meeting is held in the form of absentee voting, then when determining its quorum, votes on a voting ballot that does not contain the signature of a person (representative of a person) entitled to participate in the general meeting are not taken into account. If it is held in the form of a meeting, then a similar rule will apply in the case of voting by ballot by sending it to the company (clause 4.24 of the Regulations).

When determining the quorum of the general meeting, in which the person voting on shares circulating outside the Russian Federation in the form of depositary securities takes part, only the number of such shares in respect of which the said person received instructions from holders of depository securities is taken into account (clause 4.11 Regulations).

The Regulations determine how a person voting on shares circulating outside the Russian Federation in the form of depositary securities should act at a general meeting of shareholders.

Such a person, when registering for participation in the general meeting, is obliged to inform the counting commission in writing of information on the number of such shares in respect of which he received instructions from holders of depositary securities (clause 4.12 of the Regulations).

If, on various issues included in the agenda of the general meeting, the number of shares in respect of which the named person received instructions from holders of depository securities differs (does not match), it is obliged to inform the counting commission of information on the corresponding number of such shares on each such issue, included in the agenda of the general meeting.

If on shares circulating outside the Russian Federation in the form of depository securities, the above-mentioned person voted with a number of votes that does not correspond to the number of such shares reported by the counting commission, then these votes are not taken into account when summing up the results of voting at the general meeting.

The old Order also contained a requirement to vote on shares circulating outside the Russian Federation in the form of securities of a foreign issuer, issued in accordance with foreign law and certifying the rights to such shares. Voting on these shares was to be carried out only in accordance with the instructions of the holders of depository securities, however, there was no detailed requirement for the procedure for such voting in the old Order.

Other changes to the rules for holding a general meeting of shareholders

In accordance with the Regulations, the general meeting should be held in the settlement (city, township, village) that is the location of the company, unless another place of its holding is established by the company's charter (clause 2.9 of the Regulations). Thus, the norm allowing the establishment of a different place for holding the general meeting in the internal document of the company, which regulates the procedure for the activities of the general meeting, will be excluded. Note that when choosing a venue for a general meeting of shareholders, it is advisable to take into account clause 5 of the Information Letter of the Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated November 25, 2008 N 127. may be considered in certain cases arbitration courts as an abuse of power.

The regulation establishes how to determine the date of making a proposal on the agenda of the general meeting and the date of receipt of this proposal, if it is sent through a courier service. These dates will be: for sending - the date of transmission courier service, for receipt - the date of delivery by the courier (clauses 2.4 and 2.5 of the Regulations).

The Regulation contains indications of additional information that should, in certain cases, be included in the list of persons entitled to participate in the General Meeting of Shareholders:

- if the shares of the company are recorded on the personal account (deposit account) securities of unidentified persons, then the list of persons entitled to participate in the general meeting includes information on the number of such shares indicating that they belong to unidentified persons (clause 2.14 Regulations);

- if the shares of the company are accounted for on the account of a nominal holder who has not provided data on the persons in whose interests he owns shares, then the list of persons entitled to participate in the general meeting shall include information on the number of such shares, indicating that the specified nominal the holder did not provide the relevant data (clause 2.15 of the Regulations).

In addition, the Regulations establish a list of documents that must be provided for familiarization to persons entitled to participate in the general meeting, if the agenda includes the issue of reorganization of the company. Compared to before, this list was supplemented by the following documents (clause 3.5 of the Regulations):

— a draft decision on division, separation or transformation or an agreement (draft agreement) on merger or accession, concluded between the companies participating in the merger or accession;

— draft transfer deed (separation balance sheet).

The Regulations stipulate that a general meeting held in the form of a meeting opens if, by the time it starts, there is a quorum for at least one of the issues included in the agenda. Persons entitled to participate in the general meeting may register before the completion of the discussion of the last item on the agenda for which there is a quorum. At the end of the discussion, those present must be informed of the number of votes held by the persons who have registered (participated) in the general meeting. Next, the voting of persons who have not voted until this moment will take place (clauses 4.10 and 4.16 of the Regulations).

The secretary of the general meeting, in accordance with the Regulations, will be appointed presiding at the general meeting, unless the charter or internal document of the company governing the activities of the general meeting establishes a different procedure for his appointment (election) (clause 4.14 of the Regulations).

The Regulation determines who should be the chairman of the extraordinary general meeting, which is held in pursuance of a court decision. If at such a meeting there are no persons presiding over the general meeting in accordance with the Law on Joint Stock Companies, the chairman is the body (chairman of the body) of the company or the person who, in accordance with a court decision, holds such an extraordinary general meeting (clause 4.19 of the Regulations).

In accordance with the Regulations, the list of information that must be indicated in the minutes of the general meeting and in the minutes of voting results at the general meeting has been expanded. Now these documents will need to include the date of compiling the list of persons entitled to participate in the general meeting (clauses 4.29 and 4.31 of the Regulations). It should be noted that the Law on Joint Stock Companies establishes requirements for the timing of compiling a list of persons entitled to participate in the general meeting (paragraph 2 and paragraph 3, clause 1, article 51 of the Law On Joint Stock Companies).

The Regulations do not contain requirements for the company's annual report, which are currently enshrined in two regulations: in the old Order and in the Order of the Federal Financial Markets Service of the Russian Federation dated 04.10.2011 N 11-46 / pz-n On Approval of the Regulations on the Disclosure of Information by Issuers of Equity Securities. This is done in order to avoid duplication of almost identical norms in two different normative acts.

Minutes (including those on voting results) and a report on voting results must contain the date of compiling the list of persons entitled to participate in the general meeting, and the number of votes per voting shares of the company on each item on the agenda of the general meeting. In addition to these general requirements, if the agenda includes the issue of approval of a transaction in which there is an interest, the number of votes of shareholders who are not interested in the transaction must be additionally indicated.

Other innovations:

With regard to the OCA bodies:

it is provided that the secretary of the GMS is appointed as the chairman of the GMS, unless another procedure for his appointment (election) is provided for by the charter (an internal document of the company regulating the activities of the GMS);
the registrar exercising the powers of the counting commission (in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 56 of the JSC Law) may transfer them to one or more of its employees;
when holding a GMS in pursuance of a court decision, the chairman is the body or person conducting the GMS by a court decision (in the absence of chairpersons by virtue of law).

Before a decision is made to elect a new board of directors, a decision must first be made on the early termination of the powers of the previously elected board of directors. The number of candidates among whom votes are distributed in cumulative voting may exceed the number of persons to be elected to the board of directors.
