AGM

Annual General Meeting

A yearly shareholders' meeting where the company's financial statements are presented for approval.

Definition

An Annual General Meeting (AGM) is a mandatory yearly meeting of shareholders of a Singapore company, where directors present the audited (or unaudited) financial statements for approval. Under Singapore's Companies Act, a private company must hold its first AGM within 6 months of its first financial year end (FYE), and subsequent AGMs at intervals not exceeding 15 months. Many private companies dispense with AGMs by passing a written resolution under Section 175A.

Example

If your company's FYE is 31 December 2026, the AGM (if held) must occur by 30 June 2027, and the annual return must be filed within 7 months of FYE - by 31 July 2027.
