New rules for holding general meetings of LLC participants

Important changes effective March 1, 2026
17.03.2026
Ms. Olga Grigorieva
General Director

Every LLC is required to hold an annual general meeting of participants to approve the annual results of its operations. The meeting must take place within the timeframe established by the company’s charter, during the period from March 1 to April 30, 2026.

The agenda must include, among other items, the approval of the annual report and balance sheet.

What changed from March 1, 2026

The procedure for absentee voting at regular meetings has changed: it is now permitted only alongside an in-person meeting. Holding a meeting exclusively in absentee form is no longer possible.

Liability for violations

Violation of the established procedure entails a fine for legal entities of up to RUB 700,000 (Article 15.23.1 of the Russian Code of Administrative Offences).
