Frederick, MD asked in Business Law for Maryland

Q: How can a minority owner of a Maryland corporation get the corporation to hold the annual meeting called for in the by-

Laws? No meeting since 2009, and there are important issues to discuss. Other owners happy with no meeting since probably don't want to address issues.

A: Generally meetings can be called by giving advance written notice (usually by mail) to all other interested parties setting forth the date & time of the meeting and issues to be discussed. Well drafted bylaws should contain provisions on the calling of meetings and notice so look there first.
