Everton's decision to scrap an annual obligation to hold General Meetings has been confirmed.
The ECHO revealed last month the Blues were planning to amend their articles of association to remove their commitment to host General Meetings every year.
And an update from Companies House has now confirmed that the resolution was passed on January 24th.
Everton are not ruling out hosting those events completely in the future, but they are exploring ways in which they can speak with all supporters - and not just shareholders - more often.

The initial plans were met with disappointment in January by the Everton Shareholders Association.
They wrote: "We are disappointed and will formally object to the Club’s decision to remove the obligation to have General Meetings each year.
"We also object to the Board’s decision not to have a General Meeting this year as it removes the opportunity for shareholders to hold them to account."
Farhad Moshiri has backed the decision to help create a Fan Advisory Board by the end of the season, as well as their commitment to having supporter representation at board meetings, following meetings with the Everton Stakeholder Steering Group (ESSG).
In an open letter to supporters last month, the club's majority shareholder explained the decision to engage with a wider range of fans in the future.
He wrote: "Indeed, the passion that is always demonstrated very clearly by fans is something I value and understand.
"Fans are the lifeblood of the club and only by working together can we deliver the success we all long for.
"With that in mind, I am fully supportive of the work the board and our CEO are doing in conjunction with key fan groups to put in place a Fan Advisory Board with representation at board level.
"The club is moving forward with its discussions with fan groups to ensure the voice of ALL Evertonians can be heard through a robust structure for the future.
"We will also introduce a series of regular events that will be accessible to all fans, enabling open and clear dialogue with the club’s senior leaders."
