What is a Directors' Resolution? A Directors' Resolution, also known as a corporate resolution, is a document that records decisions made by a corporation's board of directors. It can be used during a meeting or in lieu of a meeting.
“RESOLVED THAT pursuant to the provisions of section 161(4) of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Articles of Association of the Company, Mr. _______ be and is hereby appointed as Director of the Company in order to fill the casual vacancy caused by the death/removal/resignation of Mr. _______, Director of the Company.

A Directors' Resolution to Appoint Director(s) and/or Acknowledge Resignation of Director(s) is a resolution passed by the directors of a company to appoint a new director, typically to fill a casual vacancy on the board after a resignation. Once appointed, the board will send a Director's Appointment Letter.
First director resolutions These types of resolutions are another part of the initial structuring of your company. The First Resolution of the Directors is the document in which the directors authorize the company to issue shares, appoint officers, and approve the company's fiscal year-end date.
The company may pass a resolution to appoint a director in an Annual General Meeting (AGM). If the company decides to appoint a director in the middle of the year, it may appoint a director by passing a resolution in an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).
Who appoints directors? Most commonly, directors are appointed by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), or in extreme circumstances, at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM). A resolution for the appointment is put to a vote, and passed if a majority of shares are voted in favour.
This is usually done by passing an ordinary resolution in favour of the appointment (ie a majority of the shareholders agree to the appointment). Make sure to check the articles to see whether they impose any different requirements (eg requiring at least 75% of shareholders to agree to the appointment).
