Replacement Director Sample Clauses
The Replacement Director clause outlines the process for appointing a new director when a current director resigns, is removed, or is otherwise unable to continue serving. Typically, this clause specifies who has the authority to nominate or approve the replacement, such as the board of directors or a particular shareholder group, and may set out timelines or qualifications for the new appointee. Its core function is to ensure continuity in the company's governance by providing a clear and efficient method for filling board vacancies.
