Action by Consent Without a Meeting Clause Samples

The "Action by Consent Without a Meeting" clause allows a corporation's board of directors or shareholders to take official actions without convening a formal meeting, provided that all required parties give their written consent. In practice, this means that decisions such as approving contracts, electing officers, or authorizing transactions can be made efficiently through unanimous written agreement, often via email or other written communication. This clause streamlines decision-making processes, saving time and resources by eliminating the need for in-person or virtual meetings when consensus is already achieved.
Action by Consent Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not fewer than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voting. Prompt notice of the taking of any such action shall be given to those stockholders who did not consent in writing.
