The club's hand was forced after Lacey sought to take the matter to court - at considerable expense to the club - and now a meeting will be convened to consider the resolutions proposed by Mr. Lacey.
"Mr Lacey has left us with little choice," said Chief Executive Heather Rabbatts. "We have decided to call a general meeting as this will result in lesser costs than going to court.
"Nevertheless, this is still a highly damaging exercise we are being forced into and will cost the club many thousands of pounds when we can least afford it.
"As we have repeatedly said, we remain of the view the resolutions proposed by Mr Lacey are both vexatious and ineffective and we are very confident our shareholders will support the Board and defeat the resolutions, allowing the Board to get on with the job that matters: building Millwall into the club it deserves to be."
