Approving Director Remuneration (Shareholder Resolution)
Ordinary resolution of the shareholders of a company in England and Wales to approve director remuneration, either as good governance or where required by the company's articles.
Use this resolution where shareholder approval is required by the Articles or a shareholders’ agreement, or where shareholder sign-off is being obtained as a matter of good governance.
Shareholders may be required to approve directors’ remuneration where this is restricted by the company’s Articles or a shareholders’ agreement. This resolution approves the remuneration framework but does not replace the need for director approval of the underlying service arrangements.

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.
Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, or Markdown file and GitLaw will open it in the editor. You can review, edit, or chat with GitLaw about it the same way you would with any template from the library.
