Examples of Court Meetings in a sentence
The Preference Court Meetings have been convened at the direction of the Court to enable the holders of the different classes of HBOS Preference Shares to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Preference Scheme (with or without modification).
There will be two Court Hearings following the HBOS General Meeting and the Preference Court Meetings.
If a Preference Court Meeting is adjourned, the quorum for that adjourned Preference Court Meeting shall be two HBOS Preference Shareholders of the relevant class (other than any Restricted Entities) present in person or by proxy.At the Preference Court Meetings, voting will be by way of a poll and each HBOS Preference Shareholder of the relevant class of HBOS Preference Shares present in person or by proxy will be entitled to one vote for each HBOS Preference Share of that class held.
To become effective, the Preference Scheme requires the passing of the Preference Scheme Special Resolution and the Preference Reduction Special Resolutions at the HBOS General Meeting and approval by HBOS Preference Shareholders at the Preference Court Meetings, all of which will be held on 12 December 2008 at The NEC, Birmingham B40 1NT.
Other types of meetings include Court Meetings which are technically called by a Court of Law (most commonly in the UK when there is a need to approve a Scheme of Arrangement), rather than by management, and Class Meetings where only shareholders of a specified class of share may vote.
