What’s in the template
The template is a single fillable document with the standard components of a Newfoundland and Labrador director resolution:
- Title block: Corporation name, jurisdiction, and the resolution’s subject (e.g., “Resolution of the directors of [Corporation] approving the issuance of common shares”).
- Recitals (whereas clauses): The factual background that supports the resolution. For a share issuance, this includes the consideration, the class of shares, and the purchaser.
- Resolved clauses: The operative language that authorizes the action. Each resolved clause begins “BE IT RESOLVED” and concludes with the specific action being approved.
- Signature block: Lines for each director’s signature, printed name, and date. For unanimous written consent (the standard NLCA written-resolution form), every director must sign.
Common resolution types this template covers
- Officer appointment, appointing a CEO, CFO, secretary, or other officer of the corporation.
- Share issuance, authorizing the issuance of shares to a named purchaser, with class, number, and consideration.
- Banking resolution, authorizing officers to open bank accounts, sign cheques, and execute borrowing on behalf of the corporation.
- Financial statement approval, approving annual financial statements for presentation to shareholders.
- Dividend declaration, declaring a dividend with the class, amount, record date, and payment date.
