Description

The Action of the Board of Directors by Written Consent in Lieu of a Meeting is a document used in New York to adopt significant resolutions, such as a stock ownership plan under Section 1244 of the Internal Revenue Code. This form allows directors to approve actions without convening an official meeting, streamlining the decision-making process. Key features include designated authority for signatories, the ability to execute documents in multiple counterparts, and compliance with the corporation's articles of incorporation and by-laws. Filling out the form requires naming all directors involved and specifying the resolutions and actions to be taken. It's particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who need a reliable method for obtaining director consents efficiently. This form alleviates the need for physical gatherings and is critical for ensuring timely corporate governance. The usability of this document becomes evident in situations where rapid approvals are vital, such as at the formation of a stock ownership plan or when responding to urgent corporate matters.
