FAQ
A public company's board of directors is chosen by shareholders, and its primary job is to look out for shareholders' interests. In fact, directors are legally required to put shareholders' interests ahead of their own.
The directors of a company are responsible for exercising all the powers of the company. The extent of these powers are defined by the Companies Act 2006 and may be amended by the articles of association. For example the articles of association may restrict the borrowing powers of the directors.
Provided also that in case of a Specified IFSC public company , the Board can exercise powers by means of resolutions passed at the meetings of the Board or through resolutions passed by circulation.
The chairman's primary responsibility is to meet their stakeholders' expectations. They also manage the board directors and their activities, providing transparency and accountability. The board chairperson has substantial power.
The answer to this question is yes, a board of directors can be fired. However, the process is not always simple or straightforward. There are a variety of reasons why a board might be removed from power, but it ultimately comes down to a vote by the shareholders.
For publicly listed companies in the U.S., members of the board of directors are elected by shareholders at the annual meeting. Board candidates can be nominated by the board's nominating committee or by investors seeking to change a board's membership and policies.
Unless there is a special provision in the company's Articles of Association a director cannot be removed from office by the Board of Directors, and only the shareholders can remove a director. The Articles may provide a procedure for this; otherwise the statutory procedure must be used.
California Corporations Code Section 12362 allows for the removal of board members without cause, but it requires a vote by the members of the corporation. Removal without cause does not require a statement as to why the director should be removed.
You'll want to communicate your resignation from the board as professionally as possible. You may choose to break the news to your board chair in person, and that's perfectly fine—just make sure you're following up with an official letter to both the chair and the rest of the board.
