a traded public company can hold a general meeting by giving notice of at least 21 days to its members. The company’s articles of association may require a longer period of notice. Note that provision E.2.4 of the UK Corporate Governance Code (UKCG Code) requires companies to whom the UKCG Code applies (ie, companies with a premium listing of equity shares on the London Stock Exchange) to sent the notice of general meeting (and related papers) to shareholders at least 14 working days in advance of the general meeting. ICSA: The Governance Institute (ICSA) has produced guidance to clarify the requirements for companies covered by the UKCG Code in relation to the revised wording of provision E.2.4 introduced in the 2014 version of the UKCG Code relating to the notice period for general meetings
