Question 4
4. The articles of incorporation of Dakila Incorporated (DI) provides for a seven-
member Board of Directors. Florante, the chairperson of the Board, resigned
barely two months into office while Laura, another director, died in a vehicular
accident on her sixth month in office, thereby leaving only five members in the
Board. The one-year term of office of the remaining directors had just ended
without an annual stockholders’ meeting being held since Laura was actually the
majority stockholder of DI and her estate was still being settled. May the
remaining five directors, acting as the Board, fill in the vacancies in the
Board? Explain your answer.
