What is an Election of New Board Members (Minutes of the Shareholders' Meeting)?

The election of new members to the board of directors requires a formal resolution by the shareholders’ meeting.

Once elected, the new members must be registered with the commercial register of the canton where the company has its registered seat. Registering a new member is an administratively cumbersome and error-prone process.

Not only must the application contain precise personal and professional information on the newly elected members, but it must also be accompanied by the minutes of the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting, an acceptance letter, a legalized signature, and a copy of the passport or identity card.
