How to Add or Remove an Officer in a California Corporation<\/h2>\n

Officers are people that handle the daily activities within a corporation. The process of adding or removing corporate officers gets established during incorporation in California through a legal document called the bylaws. Corporate bylaws address how your corporation adds or removes individuals from the officer role. Your board of directors assumes a resolution recorded in corporate minutes under the umbrella of any restrictions for adding or removing officers in the corporation. Changing officers of a corporation involves filing the articles of incorporation while adhering to California state codes. Directors add officers formally at an annual directors meeting but can do so at any time within the scope of the bylaws. After recording minutes of a decision, the directors notify California secretary of state to update its records of the articles of incorporation with a statement of information. Our attorneys can help you prepare corporate bylaws or minutes.<\/p>\n

How to Add or Remove Shareholders of a Corporation in California<\/h2>\n

Adding shareholders to a California corporation involves selling corporate stock. When someone receives shares of stock, they officially become a shareholder. The bylaws detail the rules for selling stock and adding shareholders, but typically, existing shareholders approve the stock sale. The amount of shareholders and stock class depends on the type of corporation. Shareholders get removed from a corporation when they sell all of their shares of stock. The rules, restrictions, and resolutions involving shareholders get written in a shareholders’ agreement, which outlines shareholder rights, privileges, and obligations. If the shareholder violates the agreement, he or she may be removed involuntarily.
