Document background
Minutes Of Extraordinary General Meeting are crucial corporate documents required under Swiss law when companies need to make significant decisions outside their regular annual general meeting schedule. These minutes document special shareholder meetings called to address urgent or important matters such as capital changes, mergers, acquisitions, or significant amendments to the articles of association. The document must comply with the Swiss Code of Obligations, particularly Articles 698-706b, and often requires submission to the Swiss Commercial Register. The minutes serve as official evidence of corporate decisions and must include specific details about attendance, quorum, voting results, and formal resolutions. For certain resolutions, such as capital increases or mergers, the presence of a notary public may be required to authenticate the minutes.
