On March 1, 2025, amendments to the Federal Law of 08.02.1998 No. 14-FZ (Federal Law of 08.08.2024 No. 287-FZ) will come into force. The changes must be taken into account now and followed when holding the annual meeting of LLC and JSC participants in 2025. We remind you that holding the meeting is mandatory and must take place between March 1 and April 30.
Significant changes in the legislative framework affected the format of the meeting, drawing up and signing the minutes and clarify the mandatory requirements for the data displayed in the minutes of JSC and LLC.
Moreover, an updated procedure for actions in the event of a failed meeting comes into force on March 1, 2024. Thus, according to the federal law of February 8, 1998 No. 14-FZ, if a general meeting did not take place (is declared failed), the minutes of the general meeting from 2025 shall indicate:
Significant changes in legislation both expand opportunities for comfortable and effective holding of the general annual meeting of participants of JSC and LLC, and create significant risks: experts note that non-compliance of the procedure for holding a meeting with the legislation threatens significant fines.
For example, the main consequences of incorrectly holding an annual meeting of participants include significant fines, as well as the risk of administrative liability: liability for failure to hold a meeting ranges from 500 to 700 thousand rubles for a legal entity and from 20 to 30 thousand rubles for a manager.
The development of the regulatory framework governing the holding of a general meeting opens up many opportunities for a comfortable and effective assessment of financial results and accounting reports, consideration of current issues related to the entrepreneurial activity of a legal entity. However, before applying the new rules, we recommend that you consult with specialized lawyers.
