A special resolution.<\/p>\n<p>An ordinary resolution is a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast at a meeting. A special resolution is a resolution passed by a majority of not less than three-fourths of the votes cast at a meeting.<\/p>\n<p>The articles of association are the rules that govern the internal affairs of a company. They are a contract between the company and its shareholders. The articles of association can be altered by a special resolution of the shareholders. This means that a majority of not less than three-fourths of the votes cast at a meeting must be in favour of the alteration.<\/p>\n<p>The board of directors cannot alter the articles of association without the approval of the shareholders. The Company Law Board is a government body that regulates companies. It does not have the power to alter the articles of association of a company.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief explanation of each option:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A resolution of Board of Directors: The board of directors is the executive body of a company.

A special resolution is required to alter the articles of association of a company.<\/li>\n<li>Obtaining permission of the Company Law Board: The Company Law Board is a government body that regulates companies.
