Purpose
Use Form 2501 to apply for an extension of time to hold an Annual General Meeting.
How to lodge this form
Lodge online
Listed companies must lodge an online application through the Regulatory Portal.
Companies with an ACN can register on the portal to submit this application. Only a Director or Secretary of the company can perform this initial portal registration.
Many companies should already be registered on the portal to meet their annual industry funding obligations.
Lodgement details:
- Anyone required to use the portal to transact with ASIC will need to register their own account.
- Once registered and logged in you can launch the transaction named ‘Extension of time for a company to hold its annual general meeting (AGM).’
- Note this transaction can only be submitted by a director or secretary of a company.
- Details about payment options are provided in the portal. For more information, see how you apply for relief.
Lodge by post
Unlisted companies only can lodge a paper Form 2501.
Unlisted companies that do not regularly interact through the ASIC Regulatory Portal because they are not subject to industry funding levies or do not hold a licence or registration under laws ASIC administers can continue to use the paper form.
To request a paper form, contact us.
