FAQ
What is a board resolution? A board resolution is sometimes called a corporate resolution or directors' resolution. Simply put, a board resolution is a formal document of a board's decision. A board of directors is the highest authority in an organization, and their decisions can have far-reaching consequences.
If the directors are likely to agree to a proposed resolution or unable to convene a board meeting quickly then it may be easier to pass a written resolution instead of convening a board meeting at a later date.
A resolution has two parts: the heading and the body. The heading is the administrative/organizational portion of a resolution and contains the name of the committee, the topic, and the names of the sponsoring countries, the countries that are signatories, and the committee code.
A board resolution is a document that formalises important decisions made by the board of directors and the actions relating to them.
A Board Resolution is only valid when: The meeting has been properly convened with prior intimation as per Company bylaws. The board properly holds the resolution and quorum is maintained. Duly certified and signed by the appointed chairperson.
The written resolution will need to describe the decision that is being proposed and how members need to respond to it. Typically, if members agree with the resolution, they will need to sign and return it.
Any ordinary resolution is passed by the board of directors or shareholders of the company. A special resolution is normally passed by the shareholders of the company. Passing any ordinary resolution does not require any legal or regulatory approval. Passing a special resolution required legal and regulatory approvals.
The following steps will guide you through the process of writing a board resolution: Put the date and resolution number at the top. Give the resolution a title that relates to the decision. Use formal language. Continue writing out each critical statement. Wrap up the heart of the resolution in the last statement.
A board resolution is passed after gaining approval by a majority of board members with voting rights. Your organization's governing documents will determine the votes necessary to approve a resolution formally.
A resolution in writing signed by each director member will be effective as long as the constitutional documents do not preclude this approach, however we advise that the articles are drafted to expressly permit this type of decision-making.
