What is required for a written resolution to pass in a company?

For a written resolution to pass in a company, it is essential to have sufficient shareholder approval, which is typically set at a threshold of 75%. This requirement aligns with the voting guidelines established in many jurisdictions, where certain significant decisions need a supermajority to ensure that a broader consensus among shareholders is achieved.

When the resolution seeks specific actions, especially those with substantial implications for the company, such as changes to the Articles of Incorporation or other critical decisions, this higher approval rate reinforces the legitimacy and acceptance of the resolution among shareholders.

The other options do not accurately reflect the requirements of written resolutions. Majority approval in a general meeting usually pertains to typical resolutions presented at meetings rather than the written format. Unanimous approval is quite rare and generally not needed for most written resolutions, and while board approval might also be necessary in certain contexts, it does not typically involve shareholder voting in the same manner as resolutions requiring direct shareholder action.
