This includes shareholder ability to initiate any appropriate topic for written consent. This includes that any associated request for a record date shall have the lowest allowable figure. This includes that written consent not include a solicitation clause mandating a certain percent of shares be solicited unless legally required. Shareholders acting by written consent and calling for a special shareholder meeting are 2 means that shareholders of a company can use to put forth a proposal on a timely basis without waiting for the annual shareholder meeting. It is particularly important for United Airlines (UAL) shareholders to have a right to act by written consent because UAL shares not owned for at least one year are excluded from having a right to call for a special shareholder meeting. It is believed that no company out of a pool of 3000 companies has ever held a special shareholder meeting, called for by shareholders, with this one-year UAL-type exclusion, highlighting what a deterrent a one-year exclusion is. There has never been a company, that has responded to a proposal like this, that has ever cited even one special shareholder meeting actually being held that was called for by shareholders of a company that excluded all shares not owned for a full year. Thus the current UAL special meeting right seems to be utterly useless because such a shareholder meeting will likely never happen. Acting by written consent is hardly ever used by shareholders but the main point of having a right to act by written consent is that it gives shareholders greater standing to engage effectively with management when UAL underperforms. Since a director can be removed by written consent, enabling shareholders to act by written consent may serve as an incentive for UAL directors to perform better. UAL stock was at $97 in 2018 and only at $108 in late 2025 in spite of a robust stock market.
