shareholder resolution passed in writing
Explanation:
In this case, it actually means that the shareholder resolution was passed in writing.

I just recently had to translate Umlaufverfahren into English as part of the internal regulations / rules of procedure of a company, and nicely enough, the German source text already contained the translation of Umlaufverfahren (Daneben ist auch das schriftliche Umlaufverfahren („resolution in writing“) statthaft (Art. 108 der Satzung).) which I duly translated as follows: "In addition, the passing of resolutions in writing is also admissible (Art. 108 of the Articles)."

circulation procedure


Explanation:
The document(s) relating to the decision which had to be made were circulated to all partners (or less likely to all shareholders) and they each made their decision.
