Definition

A resolution which requires the approval or 50% or more of the voting shares of a company. Typically this would be the appointment of directors, approval of employment equity schemes and other routine matters at an annual general meeting. A special resolution, by contrast, requires at least 65% of the vote and is normally reserved for a fundamental transaction where control of the company is likely to change.
