06 July 2024 Yes, a Private Limited Company can appoint directors directly at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) without appointing them as Additional Directors first, provided the company’s Articles of Association allow for such appointments and the necessary resolutions are passed in accordance with the Companies Act, 2013.
