Maine Uniform Corporate Resolutions (U2A) are documents used by the state of Maine to formally document decisions made by a corporation’s board of directors or shareholders. This type of resolution is required for any changes to the corporate charter or bylaws, or for any other major decisions that need to be formally documented. The purpose of U2A is to provide legal evidence of a corporation’s decision-making process. There are two main types of Maine Uniform Corporate Resolutions: Directors’ Resolutions and Shareholders’ Resolutions. Directors’ resolutions are used when the board of directors of a corporation makes a business decision, such as appointing a new officer or issuing a dividend. Shareholders’ resolutions are used when shareholders approve a major decision, such as authorizing a merger or acquisition. Both types of resolutions must be signed by the proper representatives of the corporation and filed with the state.
