The governing documents of a company (e.g. bylaws and articles of incorporation) may require that before an annual shareholders meeting is held, notice must be provided. The method and timing of the notice are often specified. There are circumstances, however, where either the company is unable to provide notice or the particulars of the meeting have changed. In that situation, a Waiver of Notice may be used. This document simply allows the shareholders to waive the notice requirements so that the meeting may proceed as planned.

This form includes special formatting features to assist you in completing the agreement.

This form can be used in the following provinces: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and Yukon.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Waiver of Notice is a legal document that allows shareholders to bypass the formal notice requirements for an annual meeting. It enables the meeting to proceed without the standard notification, provided that all shareholders agree.

This waiver can be used in all Canadian provinces except Quebec. It is applicable in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, and Yukon.

All shareholders who wish to waive the notice requirements must sign the Waiver of Notice. This ensures that all parties are in agreement and that the meeting can proceed without formal notice.

No, this specific waiver is designed for annual shareholders meetings. Different procedures may apply for other types of meetings, and separate waivers may be required.

If not all shareholders agree to waive the notice requirements, the meeting cannot proceed as planned. In such cases, the corporation must adhere to the original notice requirements to ensure compliance with corporate governance.

While there is no specific deadline for submitting the Waiver of Notice, it should ideally be completed and signed prior to the scheduled meeting date. This ensures that all shareholders are aware of the waiver and agree to proceed without formal notice.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are shareholders in a corporation may find themselves in a situation where the notice for the annual meeting was not properly issued. In such cases, this waiver allows them to proceed with the meeting without delay, ensuring that important decisions can still be made.
  • Situations requiring a change in meeting particulars, such as a shift in location or time, can complicate the notice process. By utilizing the Waiver of Notice, shareholders can agree to bypass the formal notice requirements and continue with the meeting as planned.
  • To comply with corporate bylaws that mandate notice for annual meetings, shareholders may need to address unforeseen circumstances that prevent proper notification. This waiver serves as a legal tool to facilitate the meeting while adhering to the spirit of corporate governance.
  • For those involved in small corporations, where communication is often informal, the Waiver of Notice can streamline the process of holding an annual meeting. This form allows shareholders to acknowledge their agreement to proceed without formal notice, thus avoiding unnecessary delays.
  • In cases where a corporation is facing time-sensitive decisions, shareholders may choose to utilize this waiver to ensure that the annual meeting occurs as scheduled. This is particularly useful when the company needs to address urgent matters that cannot wait for the standard notice period.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate when there are dissenting shareholders who do not agree to waive the notice requirements. In such cases, the corporation must follow the proper notice procedures to ensure compliance with governance standards.
  • – If the governing documents of the corporation explicitly prohibit waiving notice, this form should not be used. Adhering to the bylaws and articles of incorporation is crucial to avoid potential legal challenges.
  • – In situations where significant changes to the meeting agenda or location occur, relying on this waiver may not be suitable. Proper notice should be given to ensure all shareholders are informed of any alterations.
  • – This waiver should not be utilized if the corporation is facing legal disputes or challenges regarding the meeting. In such cases, it is advisable to seek legal counsel to determine the best course of action.
  • – When the meeting involves critical decisions that require full transparency and communication, it is better to provide formal notice rather than relying on a waiver. This ensures that all shareholders are adequately informed and can participate fully.
