# Written Consent in Lieu of Meeting

Drafts a legally sufficient written consent enabling directors or shareholders to take formal corporate action without a meeting.

## Prerequisites

Gather before drafting:

1. **Entity** — full legal name, jurisdiction, entity type (corporation, LLC)
2. **Governing documents** — bylaws or operating agreement (consent-procedure provisions, thresholds, notice/waiting periods)
3. **Consent type** — board vs. shareholder
4. **Signatories** — directors (board) or shareholders with share counts, classes, and ownership percentages
5. **Proposed actions** — specific resolutions; attach supporting transaction documents
6. **Authorizing statute** — e.g., DGCL §141(f) (board), §228 (shareholders)

Extract information from uploaded organizational documents, prior minutes, bylaws, cap tables, and stock ledgers before asking the user.

## Document Structure

1. **Title** — `WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE [BOARD OF DIRECTORS/SHAREHOLDERS] OF [ENTITY NAME] IN LIEU OF [ANNUAL/SPECIAL] MEETING`
2. **Preamble** — cite statutory authority (code, section, subsection); reference bylaws/OA; state unanimous vs. majority; specify effective date
3. **Recitals** — WHEREAS clauses: identify signatories by name/title/shares; state factual background, business rationale, conditions precedent, conflicts of interest
4. **Resolutions** — numbered, each beginning `RESOLVED,` (see resolution rules below)
5. **Execution clause** — counterparts permitted; electronic signature authorization (cite E-SIGN Act if applicable); filing directive to secretary
6. **Signature blocks** — Board: name + "Director" + date. Shareholders: name + shares (number, class, % outstanding) + date
7. **Secretary's certificate** — attestation of due execution, filing with corporate records, continued effect

## Resolution Rules by Type

- **Contracts/transactions** — identify counterparty by full legal name; all material terms and amounts; attach agreement as numbered exhibit (not "substantially the form presented"); specify officer authority scope for changes
- **Officer authorizations** — name officers; document categories; monetary limits; individual vs. joint authority; time/transaction limitations
- **Equity issuances** — exact number, class/series, price/valuation method, recipient, vesting/transfer restrictions, consideration form, securities law compliance, preemptive rights clearance
- **Governing document amendments** — full amendment text or exhibit with incorporation by reference; identify exact section amended; confirm supermajority/procedural compliance
- **Financial transactions** — maximum principal, material terms (rate, maturity), collateral/security interests, lender identity, delegation parameters

## Consent Threshold Reference

| Jurisdiction | Board | Shareholder |
|---|---|---|
| Delaware (DGCL) | Unanimous — §141(f) | Majority of voting power — §228 (unless charter requires more) |
| MBCA states | Unanimous — §8.21 | Unanimous — §7.04 (unless articles authorize less) |
| Delaware LLC Act | Per operating agreement — §18-404 | Per operating agreement — §18-302 |

Always verify the entity's charter/bylaws for stricter-than-statutory requirements.

## Pitfalls and Checks

- **Effective date** — some jurisdictions tie effectiveness to the last required signature; others to filing. State explicitly in the preamble
- **Fundamental actions** (mergers, dissolution, charter amendments) may require unanimous consent even where majority is otherwise permitted — verify per jurisdiction
- **Related-party transactions** — include recitals confirming disinterested-director approval, independent valuation, or other conflict-clearance procedures
- **Downstream obligations** — flag disclosure obligations (securities laws, exchange rules), regulatory filings, or third-party consents triggered by the approved actions
- **Defined terms** — capitalize consistently; define at first use or in a definitions section for complex consents
- **Cross-references** — verify all internal cross-references and exhibit numbering before finalizing
- **Missing information** — surface gaps to the user rather than guessing; the consent must be legally sufficient, not merely formally complete
