Director Appointment and Resignation comes up with a lot of questions, especially for companies undergoing changes to their board composition dealing with it for the first time. Here are clear answers to what we're asked most often.
Is board approval enough for a director appointment?
Often shareholder approval is also required, depending on the company's structure and the type of appointment.
What is the filing deadline after a resignation?
There's a prescribed window from the date of resignation to file the relevant form.
Can a resigning director be held liable for past actions?
Liability for actions during their tenure can still apply even after resignation.
