- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer confirms the company is a public company, applies the single-member exception and any section 738ZI exception, and fixes the meeting date so that both the 18-month rule and the calendar-year and 5-month rules are met where they apply.

Checklist
- Record 18 months after the registration date, and 5 months after the financial-year end, in the calendar year the lawyer is planning.
- A public company with only one member is not required to hold an AGM under this section.
- Section 738ZI and section 317 were not opened. The lawyer reads them before treating the company as excused, and before treating the reports as ready to be laid before the meeting.
