Haidian Model Case: unnotified meeting agenda

Reference Case: Chen v. a Group Company on Resolution Rescission

A meeting notice that states only the time, place, and a broad subject is defective if it omits the concrete major agenda items later voted on, especially where the meeting actually resolves on share transfers, board dissolution, removal of directors or managers, and charter amendments affecting a specific shareholder's interests. This is not a minor defect and can materially impair participation and voting rights, so rescission of the resolution is appropriate.
