The first part of the format, as it downloads. Blanks are highlighted.
Pass this at a meeting of the Board held in person or by video conference, not by circulation: the Board has to consider the facts and the director's declaration, and the minutes of this meeting become the Company's own record of what was lost and why. Where a director's own custody or conduct is in question, he should not chair this item, and the minutes should say so. Use the options that fit and delete the rest. This resolution records the gap in the minutes; it does not, and must not, stand in for minutes that were never written.
