Stockholders Consent

Stockholders Consent is a written consent signed by the required percentage of stockholders to approve a corporate action without holding a formal meeting, as permitted by corporate law and the company’s governing documents. In venture-backed companies, Stockholders Consent is commonly used to approve financings, option plan amendments, or M&A transactions efficiently, and Stockholders Consent packages are key closing deliverables coordinated alongside board consents.
