Notice of Meeting of Directors

Notice of Meeting of Directors

A template notice convening a meeting of the board of directors of a company incorporated in England & Wales.

How to use this template - Replace every [SQUARE-BRACKET] field before use. - The Companies Act 2006 does not prescribe a fixed notice period or procedure for board meetings, these are governed by the company's articles of association. Under the Model Articles, any director may call a board meeting and notice need not be in writing, but must be reasonable in the circumstances and given to every director (subject to a director's right to waive notice). - Quorum for board meetings is set by the articles (commonly two directors, or one in a single-director company). Check yours. - Directors must declare any interest in a proposed transaction (Companies Act 2006, ss 177 and 182) and may be unable to count in the quorum or vote on it, depending on the articles.
