Document background
The Resolution of Appointment is a crucial corporate governance document used in German business entities when formally appointing individuals to key positions within an organization. It serves as the official record of the appointment decision, whether made by shareholders, supervisory board, or other authorized corporate bodies. The document must comply with specific requirements under German corporate law, including the German Civil Code (BGB), Commercial Code (HGB), and relevant corporate governance regulations. A Resolution of Appointment typically includes details such as the appointee's information, position terms, voting results, and necessary signatures. It's particularly important for regulatory compliance, corporate record-keeping, and establishing the legitimate authority of appointed individuals. The document may require registration with the Commercial Register (Handelsregister) depending on the position involved.
