Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM)
Verbatim from Investopedia (accessed 2026-05-27).
An extraordinary general meeting (EGM) is convened to address pressing issues that cannot wait for the annual general meeting (AGM). These meetings may involve decisions like removing an executive or resolving urgent legal matters. While AGMs occur at pre-scheduled times, EGMs can be called at any moment, even during non-business hours or holidays, reflecting their urgent nature.
