Document background
The Resolution to Add Director is a crucial corporate governance document used when a company needs to formally appoint a new director to its board. This document is essential for Hong Kong companies to comply with the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and maintain proper corporate records. It is typically prepared when a company wishes to expand its board, replace a departing director, or restructure its leadership. The resolution must include specific details required by law, such as the director's personal information, confirmation of their consent to act, and any relevant declarations regarding their eligibility. Once passed, this resolution must be filed with the Hong Kong Companies Registry within 15 days of the appointment, along with the necessary forms and supporting documents. The resolution serves as legal evidence of the appointment and is an important part of the company's statutory records.
