Article 9 Annual and other meetings
An annual meeting shall be held in each year and not more than fifteen months shall elapse between the date of one annual meeting and that of the next.
In every year there shall be at least one meeting of the Company in addition to the annual meeting and, subject to any directions of the guardians, such other meetings as the wardens may see fit to convene.
Subject to the provisions of this article and to any directions of the guardians, the wardens shall be responsible for convening meetings of the Company and for determining the place, day and hour for any such meeting.
Not less than twenty-one days' notice shall be given for calling any meeting of the Company either personally to each of the guardians or by sending it by post to him at his last known address in the United Kingdom; and, where sent by first class post, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, prepaying and posting a letter containing the notice and at the expiration of twenty-four hours after the letter containing the same has been posted: Provided that no such notice shall be required of an adjourned meeting in any case where a meeting is adjourned for less than thirty days.
The wardens shall forthwith proceed to convene a meeting of the Company upon a requisition by not less than three guardians which states the objects of the meeting, is signed by all the requisitionists and is deposited at the main place of business of the Company.
If the wardens do not within twenty-one days from the date of the deposit of the requisition convene a meeting, the requisitionists may themselves convene a meeting in the same manner, as nearly as possible, to that in which meetings are to be convened by the wardens; and the Company shall repay to the requisitionists any reasonable expenses incurred by them by reason of the failure of the wardens to convene a meeting.
