# Written Consent in Lieu of Meeting Drafts a written-consent instrument authorizing entity action without a meeting, preserving corporate-record integrity and enforceability. ## Quick Start 1. Collect entity type, legal name, and jurisdiction of formation. 2. Obtain governing documents (charter, bylaws, operating agreement) — especially consent-specific provisions. 3. Identify the action, approval class (board vs. shareholder/member), and required threshold. 4. Draft consent with proper recitals, resolutions, and signature blocks. 5. Validate threshold math and statutory alignment before output. **Hard stop:** If jurisdiction or entity type is missing, request before drafting. ## Intake Checklist | Field | Source | |---|---| | Entity legal name | Charter / certificate of formation | | Jurisdiction | Formation docs | | Governing authority | Bylaws / operating agreement | | Action type | User request + transaction docs | | Required threshold | Governing docs + statute | | Signatory list + interests | Board list, cap table, membership ledger | | Effective date rule | Governing docs + statute `[VERIFY]` | | Filing destination | Secretary / record-retention policy | ## Workflow ### 1. Legal Framework Check - Classify as board or shareholder/member consent. - Confirm written-consent authorization statute: - DE corp board: DGCL §141(f) `[VERIFY]` - DE stockholder: DGCL §228 `[VERIFY]` - LLC: state LLC statute equivalent `[VERIFY]` - Check governing-doc overrides: notice windows, class protections, unanimity, special-purpose approvals. - Confirm the action is not statutorily excluded from written consent in the jurisdiction. ### 2. Draft Structure ``` WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE [BOARD OF DIRECTORS / SHAREHOLDERS] OF [ENTITY NAME] IN LIEU OF [SPECIAL/ANNUAL] MEETING [Effective Date] The undersigned [directors/shareholders/members] of [ENTITY], pursuant to [GOVERNING STATUTE] and [GOVERNING DOCUMENT], hereby consent to the following resolutions: WHEREAS [fact and authority recitals]; WHEREAS [threshold and compliance recitals]; RESOLVED, THAT [resolution with complete action language]. ``` ### 3. Resolution Content by Action Type | Action | Required elements | |---|---| | Contract authorization | Agreement title/date, key terms, parties, permitted modifications, authority granted | | Financing | Max principal, rate/maturity/conditions, collateral, lender, covenant linkage | | Equity issuance | Security type/class/number, recipient, price/valuation, restrictions, ROFR/preemptive compliance | | Asset disposition | Target asset, consideration, authority conditions, delegated approval, filing steps | | Officer delegation | Officer identity, authority scope, caps, signature limits, duration | | Governing-doc amendment | Exact section text or exhibit, vote threshold, procedural prerequisites, filing | ### 4. Signature and Recordkeeping - Signature block per required signatory: signature, printed name, title, date. - Shareholder/member lines must state class, shares/membership %, and percentage of outstanding. - Include consent execution statement confirming threshold met. - Optional secretary certificate: filed date, record location, effectiveness status. ### 5. Quality Gate 1. **Authority** — statute + governing docs align with consent mechanism used. 2. **Threshold math** — interest percentages exactly satisfy required vote. 3. **Consistency** — recitals match resolutions on facts, parties, and scope. 4. **Completeness** — output missing-items list if any material fact is unknown; never finalize silently. ## Pitfalls - Never assume e-signature validity — confirm governing docs and jurisdiction permit it. - Do not over-broaden delegation authority; no open-ended grants. - Preserve minority-rights protections and class-vote mechanics from governing documents. - Keep recital and resolution scope tightly limited to the approved action. - Include conditions precedent and third-party approvals in resolutions, not commentary. - Mark any unconfirmed statutory citation with `[VERIFY]`.
