Document background
A Board Resolution For Amalgamation Of Companies is a fundamental corporate document required when two or more companies in Canada decide to combine their operations through an amalgamation. This document is essential under Canadian corporate law, whether proceeding under the federal Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) or provincial corporate statutes. The resolution is typically prepared following negotiation of an amalgamation agreement and before filing Articles of Amalgamation with the relevant corporate registry. It demonstrates proper corporate governance, confirms board approval of the amalgamation terms, and authorizes specific individuals to execute the necessary documentation. The resolution must comply with statutory requirements and should be maintained in the corporate records of both the amalgamating entities and the resulting amalgamated corporation.
