Substitute Director Sample Clauses

The Substitute Director clause allows a company’s board member to appoint an alternate or substitute to act in their place if they are unable to attend meetings or fulfill their duties. Typically, this clause outlines the process for appointing a substitute, the scope of authority granted to the substitute director, and any limitations or requirements, such as board approval or notification. Its core practical function is to ensure continuity in board decision-making and governance by preventing disruptions due to a director’s temporary absence.

Substitute Director. Subject to the Law, a director may, from time to time, appoint in writing any person who is qualified to serve as a director to serve as his/her Substitute Director (hereinafter: "Substitute Director") as well as to terminate the service of such person. Appointment of a Substitute Director does not absolve the appointing director of his liability, and such liability shall continue to apply to the appointing director, taking into account the circumstances of the appointment. Substitute Directors shall be entitled, during their service, to receive notice of the convening of meetings of the Board of Directors and to participate and vote in meetings in which the director who appointed them is not present and to exercise the powers, rights, and obligations of the appointing director. The letter of appointment of a Substitute Director must be provided to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors no later than at the opening of the first meeting of the Board of Directors in which the Substitute Director is in attendance.
