Unanimous written consent by shareholders electing board of directors is a process by which shareholders of a company agree to appoint the members of the board of directors. It is seen as a formal expression of the shareholders' collective will to appoint a board of directors. There are two types of unanimous written consent by shareholders electing board of directors: 1) an action taken by all shareholders to appoint a new director; and 2) an action taken by all shareholders to fill a vacancy on the board of directors. In both cases, all shareholders must agree and must sign the document, indicating their agreement to the appointment. This process is usually done electronically, as it requires all shareholders to sign and submit the document. Unanimous written consent by shareholders electing board of directors allows the company to formalize and regulate the appointment of its board of directors, ensuring that all shareholders are in agreement and that the appointment is done in accordance with the wishes of all shareholders.
