Document background
General Meeting Minutes are fundamental corporate documents required under Philippine law, particularly the Revised Corporation Code and SEC regulations. These minutes serve as the official record of proceedings during stockholders' meetings or board meetings, documenting crucial corporate decisions, discussions, and resolutions. The document must be prepared for every general meeting, whether regular, special, or annual, and must be maintained in the corporate records. General Meeting Minutes are essential for regulatory compliance, corporate governance, and historical record-keeping, often being referred to in legal proceedings, audits, or due diligence exercises. They must include specific elements such as attendance, quorum verification, voting results, and resolutions, while following prescribed formats and requirements under Philippine corporate law.
