How many times does the board of directors of a limited liability company meet a year?

Legal analysis: The board of directors generally meets twice a year. The meeting shall be convened and presided over by the chairman of the board of directors, and the methods of discussion and voting procedures shall be stipulated in the company's articles of association, unless otherwise stipulated by law. The board of directors shall make minutes of the decisions on the matters discussed, and the directors present at the meeting shall sign the minutes. The company law stipulates that the number of directors of a limited liability company is 3 ~ 13. The board of directors of a joint stock limited company is 5 ~ 19. Members of the board of directors may include company employee representatives. The employee representatives in the board of directors are elected by the employees of the company through employee congresses, employee congresses or other forms of democratic elections. Non-employee representative directors shall be elected or replaced by the shareholders' meeting, and the term of office shall be stipulated in the articles of association, but each term shall not exceed 3 years. The term of office of directors shall be counted from the date when the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders is passed until the term of office of the current board of directors expires. Upon expiration of the term of office, directors may be re-elected.

The nomination method of directors is generally stipulated in the articles of association or related measures. The procedures for selecting and appointing directors should be standardized to ensure fairness, impartiality and independence. The listed company will require the director candidates to make a written commitment before the shareholders' meeting, agree to accept the nomination, promise to disclose the true and complete information of the director candidates, and ensure that they will earnestly perform their duties as directors after being elected.

Where a director fails to be re-elected in time upon the expiration of his term of office, or a director resigns during his term of office, resulting in a quorum of board members, the original director shall still perform his duties as a director in accordance with laws, administrative regulations and the Articles of Association before the re-elected director takes office.

Legal basis: Article 110 of the Company Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the board of directors shall hold at least two meetings every year, and all directors and supervisors shall be notified ten days before each meeting. Shareholders representing more than one-tenth of the voting rights, more than one-third of the directors or the board of supervisors may propose to convene an interim meeting of the board of directors. The chairman shall convene and preside over the board meeting within ten days after receiving the proposal. When the board of directors holds an interim meeting, it may separately determine the notification method and time limit for convening the board of directors.
