Under private company short notice, the minimum percentage of nominal voting value that must sign is 90%; options:

• A. 80%
• B. 90%
• C. 95%
• D. 99%

Answer: (B)

Under private company short notice, a written resolution can be passed without a meeting if the signatories hold not less than 90% of the total voting rights. This high threshold ensures broad agreement while allowing fast decision-making. The nominal voting value represents the voting rights attached to shares; you add up the voting rights of those who sign, and when they reach 90% of the total, the resolution passes. The default 90% can be overridden only if the company’s articles require a higher proportion. The other percentages are not the standard minimum: they are either too low to guarantee effective control (80%) or simply higher thresholds than the default (95% or 99%).
