Entry into force of corporate resolutions of commercial companies

In case of adoption of resolutions by bodies of commercial companies, the resolution may provide for an effective date of the resolution later than the date of its adoption.

This way of adopting resolutions can be helpful when the effect of the resolution, such as personal changes in the company’s bodies, should take place on a certain date (e.g. on the 1st day of the month) and the resolution itself is adopted earlier.
