Motion to reconsider
If a decision has been taken, a motion may be submitted to reconsider that decision. This may be useful, for example, if the decision is unlawful, if new aspects have become known, or if, at a later stage, another decision has been taken that is incompatible with the first one. If a motion to reconsider is approved, the matter is voted on again. The result may be different or the same as the first vote.
Question
When do resolutions of the general meeting come into force?
Answer
Resolutions passed at a general meeting shall not enter into force until after the end of the meeting, or at a later date, if so decided. Until the end of the meeting, a motion to reconsider (procedural motion) may be submitted to vote again on the matter of a resolution if there are important reasons for doing so. It is therefore not permissible, for example, for an amendment to the articles of association to enter into force immediately after its resolution at the meeting itself.
