Elective resolution

Private companies may relax one of the formal requirements of the Companies Act 1985 by passing an elective resolution to extend in time the directors' authority to allot shares from up to 5 years either to a stated date being more than 5 years from the date of the passing of the resolution or indefinitely.

An elective resolution may be revoked at any time by an ordinary resolution of the company.
