Document background
A Resolution to Appoint a Director is a crucial corporate governance document used when a company needs to formally appoint a new member to its board of directors. Under Swiss law, this resolution must comply with the Swiss Code of Obligations and typically follows either a shareholders' meeting decision or, where permitted, a board decision. The document serves multiple purposes: it formally records the appointment decision, provides necessary information for commercial register filing, and serves as official evidence of the director's appointment. The resolution must include specific details about the appointed director, voting results, and acceptance of the position. It's particularly important in Switzerland due to the strict requirements for commercial register entries and corporate governance documentation.
