The Legal Risk Score of a Shareholders' Resolution to Appoint Director (Circulating Resolution) Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • There is a risk associated with the completeness and accuracy of the information, as the document does not specify details about the director being appointed, which could lead to errors in formal communications or legal compliance.
  • The document relies on the assumption that all shareholders in agreement are aware of the implications of appointing a new director, which might not always be the case, potentially leading to uninformed decision-making.
  • The requirement for the company to update the Australian Securities and Investment Commission could be overlooked or delayed, risking non-compliance with legal obligations.

Overall, users familiar with corporate governance and legal reporting obligations will likely find this document straightforward, but should remain cautious about ensuring all procedural steps are correctly followed.
