Any appointment may be declared to have effect as from the date upon which the appointee commenced to exercise the powers and discharge the duties of his appointment, not being a date earlier than the date of the commencement of the enactment under which the appointment is made.
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). In such a case, a company must conduct a board meeting to pass a resolution for conducting an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).
Appointing a director A company's shareholders can appoint directors. This is usually done by passing an ordinary resolution in favour of the appointment (ie a majority of the shareholders agree to the appointment).
For an ordinary resolution to be passed at the meeting to appoint a director, or directors, such resolution must be supported by more than 50% of the shareholders who are eligible to vote.
Typically, decisions that must made by ordinary resolution of the shareholders include: Paying dividends. Appointing and removing directors. Approving directors' service contracts. Approving directors' loans. Allotting new shares.
Some of the matters that require a special resolution are:- – Amendment of the Articles of Association. Issue of sweat equity shares. Change in the registered office of the company. Reduction of share capital.
First, you must notify Companies House of your intention to add a director to your company. You can do this using form APO1, which you can either print out, complete, and post to the organisation, or fill it out online through their website.
A resolution for the appointment is put to a vote, and passed if a majority of shares are voted in favour. Directors are appointed when the company is first formed, if it is bought or sold (e.g. when buying a shelf company), on changes of control by shareholders, or to bring in new experience to a growing business.
A company director can be appointed during company formation and at any time thereafter. Likewise, directors can resign or be removed at any point after incorporation.
